Window switch Faulty? Electrical help!

So I own a 95 FD. And suddenly out of no where my window switch stopped functioning. I cannot roll down or up my windows. None of the buttons are responsive, and even my passenger side switch has stopped functioning.

The driver side switch itself is in perfect physical condition, and I even swapped out my switch with a friends to see if it would work and it still didn't. I checked my fuse under the hood and my fuse for power windows is intact.

Any help? Is this a common issue? What should I be looking for?

Take your multimeter to the fuse to test for continuity. Sometimes you can't see a break in the wire. Also test the window switch for power.

You don't test the box for continuity, you test the fuse. And if you don't get power to the switch, follow it back to the fuse box, and see if you get power there.
