Hhr power window problem

Driverside and passenger side windows arent working in my 2011 hhr motors work fine you can hear the relays click but Master switch will controll rear windows but not front ones anyone have any idea is it just a faulty switch? I guess bothe front switches are bad and master switch is just partially broken or is there maybe a power problem does anyone have wiring diagram for power windows

Thanks for the wiring diagram, donbrew.

The yellow wire from the BCM panel is common to the two front windows. I would start with that fuse.

The trouble with the diagram is it doesn't disclose the logic in the green boards in the switch assemblies. I do know the local switches include a relay.

I got no joy with my 2011 RF window. Never had any trouble with the other three. Replaced master switch, local switch, regulator complete with motor. After each, I thought it was fixed. Continues to work intermittently, randomly, mostly not. I now think it's damaged wires, maybe a ground.

Posted about this elsewhere, maybe I'll get inspired to find it. Nothing intuitive about the way those switches work. Would like to check the ground, now I know where they are, sorta. Because of the quirky way this thing is wired, I think maybe it could be a weak ground for the RF door OR the LF door. Maybe.

Off to study the wiring.

Check the wiring in the loom between the A pillar and door.

The yellow wire is the RAP, That only comes into play after the key is turned off and before the driver door is reclosed.

The RAP is turned off when a door is opened after the ignition key is turned off. I would recommend investigating the ground connections and those connections between the body and the doors

Translate what? RAP retained accessory power
the connections between the body and the doors?
