You did not mention the status of the rear power windows...whether they work or not. If NONE of the windows work....front or rear.....it could be something as simple as checking the power window lockout switch. This is right next to the regular power window switches on the driver's door armrest and is usually is marked with a black and white 'X" on the button. Make sure it is up and not pushed down. If it is up, there could be a short or defect in it.
If the lockout switch itself is OK, then there are several other things that could make power windows fail..........blown fuses, bad window switches, weak or inoperative electric window motors, broken or disconnected wires, broken or bent window linkages, misaligned windows, or simply something in the window channels preventing normal up-and-down movement.
