Main switch at Drivers door has no 12 VDC at switch, Power Window Breaker at fuse panel checks good. How is wire routed from breaker to door switch? Is there any connection points or fuse in-line with this circuit? I don't have access to any wiring diagrams.
It sounds like a bad ground somewhere maybe a wire is shorting out . My windows wouldn't work so I just ran some wires from my battery and then unhook the two wires from the window switch and just touch the wires from the battery together with the switch wires and Presto the windows go up or down it is not very pretty but it is a lot better than spending a small fortune on window motors or switches or whatever . hope this helps
Check the wire bundle that runs between the drivers door and the door post. This door is the most used in the entire vehicle which makes these wires flex and eventually break. I had the exact same problem, did exactly what you did until I finally figured out the problem was not where the symptoms showed up. It is a very tight spot to do any kind of a repair, but I did it and so can you.
It sounds like you need a new car

I have a 1989 Buick Century - The driver's door window will go up and down with no problem. The back window on the driver's side goes up and down no problem.
The passenger side window went down but will not go back up. The passenger rear window with not go up or down.
I pulled the panel off the passenger side door and disconnected the window regulator and plug in a new window reguator . When I pushed the down button the window reguator went down, when I pushed the up button nothing happened .
I pulled the drivers door panel off and check the switch, everything seemed normal. I ran wire checks with a ohm meter and all the wires checked out.
I plug the new motor in and all of a sudden the window regulator would go up and down. Then I check the widow button on the passengers door and it went up and down . I reconnected the old window rmotor and it went up and down.
I reasembled the door and then put the button back in the driver's door and then nothing would work again.
I installed a new switch on the drivers door - windows on the drivers side worked but windows on the passenger side didn't work.
I install a new switch on the passengeer from front and it still doesn't work
What can be wrong
The problem I am having is the drivers side switches will operate the drivers side windows. The switches on the drivers side , at one time operated the passenger side windows. This is no longer the case. The passenger side switches do not operate the passenger side windows. What I am looking for is the schematic diagram for the power window system in my Mary Kay Cosmetic Century.
