Default Pwr. windows, mirrors, locks inoperable

I have a 1995 Accord LX 2.2l and the wife put down the dr. side window on this sedan and it wouldn't come up today. It has been the typical slow return with crooked slide coming up etc. so I installed a new window regulator and motor assembly tonight. The master switch was replaced last year and the two front windows, locks, and mirrors were working up until about a month or so ago. Dr. window still worked though. I have checked all the fuses underneath dash and under hood and swapped the pwr. window relay under hood but I still have no power to these accessories. I have noticed that there is a "black box" in the driver's door above the speaker and can't seem to identify it. What is it?
Is there a BCM on these cars that would typically go faulty and cause this problem? I'm at a loss at this point as I have checked everything I could according to the threads I have read on the honda-tech forum. Anyone have any ideas besides pushing it off a cliff or running it into a river at this point?
I read one thread in which a guy changed a speed sensor and it caused the windows to start working again? Seriously? I'm wondering if there is a hidden relay I am missing and also wonder if it is related to the rear windows never working also. (Child locks are off)
Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for the long thread but I wanted to let you know what I have done so far...

Your issue sounds like a loose ground wire from G401 at the driver's door jamb area, specifically connector C417 (a gray 17P connector). Check the driver's door jamb wiring. When you pull out the rubber grommet, you'll see connector C418 (a blu/gray 15P connector) and connector C417. C417 is where you should look. -- It is relatively common area for the problem you're describing.

Well tech8, you were right on the money! As you can see in the picture (hopefully) that all the wires were snapped at the plugs. I ended up going to our local pick a part yard and scavenging a harness and spent the day soldering and splicing wires together. It's all back together and the mirrors, locks and front windows now work. The rear ones do not work but I am thinking that is another issue other than what I did today. Any ideas on the rear windows? The child locks are off. I'm wondering if it could be the rear regulators and motors?

Is it just the rear windows that are inoperative now? Rear door locks okay?

rear door locks work. I talked to wife's son and he jammed a 2X4 into rear door when it went down and became stuck. I'm thinking that this was due in large part to the harness I just fixed. So I'm going to tear into the rear door and try hooking up motor again with 2X4 removed to see if it works again. The left rear window has never worked since she go the car so that could just be a regulator motor issue . I'll post back after I find results of diagnosing issue more. Than k you for your help!

Being that the door harness was trashed, it could have shorted the wiring to the rear windows? It could also cause the master switch to fail.
