windows
Locked by the driver side windows buttons? No i checked that and it didnt work.... all windows dont roll down from the inside using main control on driver side or each window button.... only rolls down from outside the car and i found this out today that if the headlights are off you cant even roll them up from the outside using the key... you have to leave the headlights on to use the key to roll then down or up..... suck!!!!! help

Well then.
This is a weird one. Did you have any work done to your car, like if someone would take off your doorpanel or something? Maybe the connectors are loose that go to the drivers switches? If those plugs are loose, I beleive your windows won't work. Maybe worth a try to check.

Hmmm...this makes me think someone did a faulty repair and tapped the wrong wire to get power to the window control hub. I would start tracing back to the headlight switch and see what you come up with. The hub itself might be bad as well, but something definitely isn't right if your headlights have to be on to do the windows. Did you have a window module installed for control with an alarm?
