00 Malibu window switch problem

The motors all work just not with the switch on the other three doors

just bought a 00 Malibu and the windows all work with the drivers switch but the switch on each of the other doors won't work the window.
In my Chiltons the wiring diagram shows a dark blue wire and a brown wire (power) controlling the lock out. my thought is bypass the lockout switch by jumping the brown and blue. so I did and no change - there are two dark blue wires the other is for the drivers auto down so I tried it also but that did no good.
Anyone else run into this? I will go to the F/pass door tomorrow and see if power is in the blue wire there but thought I would give others a chance to jump in on this with any helpful tips.

I would try "jumping" the plugs at each of the doors, to see if you can get the windows to operate. If they do, then, and this is very, very uncommon, you have switch issues. If not, then there must be a common wire to each of the three doors..might be wiring issues. Had issues with each of my windows, ended up blowing each switch out with compressed air to clean out dust, and then they worked fine...

I was told that the power to the other three doors runs through a com
nnection under the RF seat so I'll chech that out.

Saturday I tried a used switch it allowe the rear windows to roll up with the rear door switshes but not down and the R/S front nothing . the driver door switch worked all windows but the drivers door UP. I need to pull the door switches and jump each to see if there is power.
