Default Driver Door Controls are dead on 2000 Buick PA

Howdy!
I have a 2000 Buick PA and need help with the driver door controls. If anybody has a vehicle schematic of this entire section (not just the driver door locks, or just the windows) that'd be helpful. Based on what is working and not working, it should be pretty easy to troubleshoot with a complete vehicle schematic.

What is not working (see attachments) is none of the door switches which include all of the switches on the driver door assembly but also the lock switch on the driver door only and the seat memory buttons. What does work is the light on the door lock switch and the door entry lights at the bottom/side of the door and other doors and windows.

In summary the following things don't work,
- All of the controls on the driver'* door module. This includes, the window switches for all 4 windows, the mirror adjustment and the window lock button.
- The lock/unlock button
- The seat memory buttons
The following things do work,
- Lock and unlock on the passenger side door
- Window controls from the other doors
- Entry lights on the drivers door
- The light on the unlock/lock button
What else we know:
- The driver'* door module and drives door switch assembly has power to it (checked with meter) and all the wires seem to be okay.
- We tore apart the driver'* side door switch assembly and it looked fine. We were sure this was what was wrong but it seems to be OK.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The loom between the pillar and door may have a broken wire(*).

I'd check what carfixer007 said ^^^^^^^ before proceeding further. That seems most likely.

Thanks for the input. However we've checked for broken wires and don't see any. Therefore before we start tearing apart the wiring harness from the door to the car, we'd like to have a wiring diagram so we could troubleshoot this ourselves.

Attached below is what we found online. not sure if it'* right... Please help

Yours is good and may be easier to use than the factory diagram but if it'* a module you'll want this diagram.
