Default Door Harness Problem

First and foremost, I have searched this for hours.

Secondly, my overall problem is that my driver side window won't go up or down.

Third, I have:

-checked fuses
-took motor/regulator out (works fine)
-switched door harness with another, working, 6th gen Civic (both harness' work fine)

Lastly, what is wrong?

Seems the connector from the door jamb into the cabin is messed up. Not sure if its the pin or another wire.

I don't have a multimeter or any way to check for current.

Here's a pic of what's wrong.



What's circled in red isn't what's wrong, however. It's what the circled part gets plugged into (the door jamb connector) is messed up. Like I said, I think its a pin or a wire that's messed up in the connector. Hope someone knows something I don't. Please help.

Go and buy a cheep, [$2.95] 12V test light, any help we would give would require you to at the very least tesrt for power and ground.

With the harness plugged in, turn on the ign. and check for power on the blue/black lead, [drivers window power lead] at the drivers door switch.

If you have power on the blue/black, unplug the windo motor harness and connect the test light to the red/blue lead and the red/yellow lead, the test light ground clip to one of the leads and the test light probe to the other lead [the blue and black leads are for the pulser switch, auto down feature] turn on the ign., rock the drivers switch for up and down, the test light should light up in both directions, if not, the problem is the switch or no ground, test the two (2) black leads at the switch for ground, connect test light ground clip[ to a 12V+ source, touch test light probe to the black leads, test light should light up.
Let me know what you find. 94

I will try that next.

In the meantime, here's another quick overview of what I'm working with

Window

My driver side power window hasn't worked for sometime now, and I'm slowly trying to find out the problem.

Here's the overall information:

-worked fine when I got the car
-all new regulators/motors on both sides
-closed my door one day with window half down, and from then on, the window didn't work.
-checked/replaced fuses
-passenger side window works fine
-window locks work
-used a continuity tester on the plugs, and I have continuity within the system
-switched the Si's entire window switch with the working Ex's, and they both work (as in both switches do their intended jobs)

Not sure what else to do.

Sunroof

-Took out sunroof to replace inner slider
-put sunroof back into car, with all necessary plugs in and connected
-Worked for 3min, then stopped
-used continuity tester on pin, there is current through the system
-Changed original 7.5A fuse to another 7.5A fuse
-worked again for a couple minutes, then stopped working again
-Changed new 7.5A fuse to a 15A fuse, and nothing happened

Not sure why some fuses work and some don't

Dome Light

-worked perfectly fine before removal of headliner
-ended up switching the Si's dome light for the Ex's
-plugged all necessary wires back in, and now neither dome lights work
-checked continuity in Si's via the yellow plug coming from the chassis, and no light
-checked the fuses, all good

Is it as simple as reverting both dome lights to their stock cars?
