Default Both front windows not working

'99 ES300, had the car for almost 3 months.
A little while ago I was investigating the cause of the power mirrors (replaced "CIG" fuse) and AC not working (yet to solve) and when I wrapped that up, suddenly the front windows won't go down.
No noise or anything. The rest of the master switch works. Just neither front switch on driver or passenger side switch works. I couldn't find any fuse that could be a culprit, at least not listed in the manual; not sure about relays. I'm assuming it's a greater electrical issue than the motors or regulators since it's both at once.
