Default Power window issues

Hello fellow forumers, I have a problem, the electric windows on the passenger side only go down.
From the driver's side, the passenger window cannot be operated at all.

When I have connected the blue white wire connection according to drawing, it goes down, I connect a separate wire to the connection where the all-blue wire has to go, then it goes up.
When all connections are connected, it doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

Both side window switches are new from te box and they work
no broken wires
windowmotor opperate in both ways.

So i do not know where to start from anymore
Somebody can put me in the right direction?

How do you know there are no broken wires? Did you test for continuity? In my Saturn I had an open wires inside the door hinge accordion. I ended up cutting out and replacing enough in each so the splice wasn't in the bending area.

I used some silicone lube to pull the new wires through the rubber and the below crimper and butt connectors. I have no connections with these vendors, it's just what I found for a good price at the time.

Hi thank you for the replay, i tested it for continuity and the brown wire and the full blue wire.
Wich are connected to the power window motor.
the other wires Pink-brown-Tan-white blue seems in good condition no cracks folds or whatever.
if a broken wire has broken inside the insolation then this wire will do antyhting or is there a slight possibility that some times it make contact so there is a electrical connection?
