Drivers elec window suddenly stopped working.
Pulled door card- no voltage to end plug of the appropriate wire when switch activated.
Have tried brand new switch module and brand new motor/mechanism (thanks Holden spares Punchbowl!)
Still no go.
Click is heard from behind dash.
All windows except drivers work.
Have removed centre console and now wondering whether to pull more of the dash to trace the offending wires presumably to the point where it goes from the body to door and then I can see the rest easily.
With 11 wires coming from the centre console switch box can anyone tell me what colour(s) for the drivers window.
Also, could I be overlooking something simple?

THANKS EVERYONE IN ADVANCE!

Before throwing parts at it,

There is a few items you can check first,
Check the loom between the door frame and door,
Possibly a broken wire.
Operation of the main switch.

Being the drivers door, it’s the most used door, so something is bound to fail.

I have a thread on this exact same issue for a 2007 VE Calais,
I fixed for a friend.

Nice one, I'll check tomorrow in the daylight.
And thanks for the diagram- I can see all those colours.
Presumably if I bypass/ bridge the orange/yellow power with the green white (FR- RT- UP ) I can eliminate the switch as the problem?

Thanks----- I'll read your VE post.
