93 Civic LX driver's power window and locks don't work

My 93 Honda Civic LX main window switch only operates the rear window. The front passenger switch works for that window and we'll as the rear switches work their windows too.
I replaced the window switch 3 times and door locking mechanism too for no luck. When tried replacing the driver's window motor, no luck. Any tips or suggestions?

First check would probably be the wiring. I can't remember what gen civic is notorious for broken wires in the doors, but this may be the one.

Sotake the door panel off and inspect all the wires going I'm the door?

That's what I'd do. Shouldn't be too difficult.

The wires break where they flex from the doors opening and closing

The wires break in the area between the body and the door.
