weirdest window problem ever

I have a 2003 Civic LX. Before I go into the problem I'm having, let me say that I checked the manual to see if any one fuse seems like it could be the problem and none of them seem to fit the bill. Pulling fuses at random and checking them is nearly impossible because part of the fuse panel is blocked by other stuff under the dash. So...
First, the driver's window works fine.
But the front passenger window doesn't work at all, either from the driver door or the passenger door. Makes no difference whether the "window lock" button on the driver door is pushed.
The two rear passenger windows work using the buttons on their doors but not using the buttons on the driver door. If the window lock button on the driver's door is pushed, the rear passenger windows don't operate.

All the windows worked fine until a few months ago and I'm not aware of anything that changed to make that happen.

Thanks for any ideas.

Idea, take the trim piece off the passenger arm rest/ handle and unplug the harness. Check for power at the switch. If the 12v is present, then replace the regulator assembly.
For the rear windows, take the same panel off on the drivers side and check for power at the switch. The switches might be bad at the drivers side.
A wiring schematic would be great. Search the forum for one.

This is the Factory Service Manuals in pdf. In the biggest file, named Honda Civic Repair, I believe around page 2020 (its 2900 pages!) it has tests for the window switches...
