So...
1)You've tried all 4 buttons on the driver's door AND each window switch on the other 3 passenger doors? NONE OF THEM work?
2)You checked the fuses? All of them?
3)You checked the electrical connection between the door and the rest of the car for frayed/disconnected wires?
4)Does everything else work?

FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!! Turns out it was the GROUND wire. I cut it just where it came into the door, and grounded it to a bolt on the door. All the windows as well the driver side heated mirror works now. Thank you all for your troubleshooting help.
