Now that both of your windows aren't working test the window motor by: 1.Take apart the door panel, it should be 10 Philips head screws (+) and be careful not to break any of the wire harnesses.
2.Cut away some of the wrapping tape that binds the wires together.
3.Get a battery, preferably 12 volt, as in an electric drill battery.
4.Cut your connector wires enough so you can re-crimp them together again.
5.Touch the positive wire to the positive of the battery, and the negative to the negative of the battery. Also reverse this process so its positive to negative, which reverses the electrical pull.

If this makes your window go down or up, then it is not your window motor.
(Note) This is the cheapest way to test, not the easiest or safest. But, if your short on cash, it will work. I've done it. Also, any voltage battery above 10 volts will work. but do NOT do this process repeatedly or your window motor will be F-ed.

Reconnect your wires by crimping after your troubleshoot is completed. You will have one of two outcomes. One, your window motor will work, Two, it wont. Message me when you have completed this with your outcome. I may be available for assistance on the next step.
