Maybe everyone is as befuddled as me! What kind of system lowers a window with a door key? This is a new one on me.
Usually, power windows have a circuit breaker, rather than a fuse in the circuit.
If you pull off the master switch on the driver's door, on the connector there, you should have one hot wire to the switch with key on in the ignition. You say no power to switches:is that because the switches don't work, or have you verified no power on any wire to the masterswitch?
If you do have a hot wire at the masterswitch, then likely you have a bad masterswitch, or the ground for the power windows may be loose, but that doesn't seem likely if you got the window to roll down with the key. If you don't have a hot wire to the masterswitch with key on, then you need to check the wiring going into the door. Maybe a wire got broke there.
Good luck.

SOURCE: power windows quit working

you sound like you have a bad connection to the new switch. Clean the contact on the wire connection to the switch. Also get a jumper wire to see if you can jump it out with the new switch pulled off???

SOURCE: power windows quick working with switch

The power for door lock servos and windows is on the same run of cable in wiring harness in door, with two very similar plugs that connect to the window switch and to the door switch. My guess is ou have probably connected the power window plug to the door and vice versa. You will notice one plug has 4 pins and the other has 5 (from memory) - make sure you match these up.

Same problem, key switch and dash switch don't power window

you will need to remove the inside panel on the door and unbolt the track or motor to release the window enough to lower it so you can open the door. Then test for a pwer and ground at the connector. If all is good you need a new moter.

How to remove window crank and panel on 2001 vw beatle

Check with VW to see if they issued a recall on the window regulators. They replaced both of mine about 2 years ago based upon a service recall. I had a 98 VW Beetle.

First check your fuses. If that doesn't help, then you have to dig further. Do any of the switches work or are they all dead? If all of them are dead, it's possible that your driver's door window button module has died. If it does, no other window buttons will work either because power for all the window buttons comes through the driver's door buttons first before going out to the others.

98 4Runner rear window no longer operates

Open the rear hatch. Pull off the inner trim panel. Look to see if there is a little box with a bunch of wires connected to it. It may be at the lower edge, driver side. Turn the key on. Test for 12 volts at the solid BLUE wire (there is only 1 solid blue wire) that is connected to the box. Is there power? If not, check the 30 amp POWER fuse. If there IS power, this box may be bad. This is the power window relay for the rear hatch. The wiper/washer and the rear window motor power all come out of this box.
BUT:
Check for power & get back to me before you buy a relay box, there are a few other tests I could share with you before we pronounce the relay box bad...
