windows won't work

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone would know what the problems are for my windows. Yes both driver and passenger window, my windows worked fine yesterday when my brother drove it home to his house. This morning he said the passenger side work but not the driver, but when i went over to check it out just now. Both windows doesn't work, i heard a click when i pressed the button but nothing happens. I tried holding both window buttons up for 5 seconds to reset it but still nothing. Anyone have any clues as to what else is wrong with it? regulator, but on both side or is there just one regular on the driver side? thanks

The gen2 have some funky floor module unit that controls the windows and can go on the fritz. Wondering if the gen1 has the same.

Have you tried the "Fonzy method"? If you hit the door above the large speaker but below the door handle & tweeter it will usually allow the window motor to roll the window up or down for a few times. This is a quick fix to get the window back to where it needs to be, but you'll have to replace the window motor to fix the problem.

You could also be having BCM problems, does the car have a sunroof? Is there water in the passenger footwell? The BCM sits low in the passenger footwell and is extremely susceptible to water ingress on sunroof cars.

I hate to say this, and you should absolutely exhaust all your other options, but it may be the Body Control Module itself.
Pull the pass. side kick panel and see if there is any moisture or corrosion on or near it. This may at least tell you something.

Im going to try it this weekend, but today my brother said the driver side window works again but not the passenger so i assumed it would have something to do with the Control Module not getting good connections.
