Power Windows inoperable - bad unit or wiring?

Yesterday, my ‘07 TL main power windows unit suddenly stopped working, including all power to the single door switches. But my drivers window switch on the main unit still works, allowing me to roll my driver window up and down. I checked my fuses which are fine, none are blown. There is no electrical clicking when I try any of the switches (besides my driver door switch). I’ve been told that bad wiring can cause this issue.

is this the unit just failing and needs to be replaced? Currently sitting at 195k miles. TIA!

You can operate all windows using driver's controls, or just the driver's window using driver's control? Are other window buttons illuminated?

None of the door switches are illuminated EXCEPT the drivers switch on the drivers controls, which makes sense why it’s the only one that works.

It's not something stupid like you pressed the lockout switch, right?

It sounds like you pressed the lockout switch.
Press the lockout switch again to see if the other window buttons will light up and work.
