Window issue

Chevrolet Silverado 2000 2500 Extended Cab, Vortec 6.0 145000 miles
I'm having a window problem. Neither of the windows has any movement. They are in the up position. Checked all wiring and found broken wire fixed and checked with multimeter and it is good now. I checked all remaining wires in the harness and all are good. Checked motor and relay and both are good so I'm completely out of ideas.

I have a 2004 chevy silverado1500 5.3 will not turn over. When I turn key on it. Has power to every thing good fuel pressure,battery full charger good power connection everywhere but will not turn over I've jumped a wire from the starter solenoid to the hot post on the battery and it will turn over but still won't crank but when it warms back up above 30° it will start just fine i can't figure it out I drive it every day back and forth to work it really frustrating because it make me later for work during the winter

I've got the same problem. When she's cold she won't start. Everything seems to work fine b4 the crank. Other comments said ir might be an ethinal Water issue. I was hoping I could just replace the starter but once she warms up a bit there's no issues.

No running lights

Chevrolet Silverado 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 127000 miles
I recently had an issue with the Battery Distribution Engine Compartment Fuse Block (see pic)
Truck would not start. Zero power. As a quick fix we jumped two of the terminals and that got it started. However, I have no running lights. Everything else works including headlights, brake light and blinkers. Because the Battery Distribution Engine Compartment Fuse Block will not arrive for a few days and I need to drive in the evening, I was hoping a mechanic could tell me if there is a temp fix by maybe jumping the terminals while I wait for the part to arrive. I currently have a 30 Amp inline fuse fuse so the truck will run. Please help

Windshield wipers

Chevrolet Silverado 2016 Wt double cab 4X4 5.3L V-8 with auto  69000 miles
Wipers do not work, will not move or anything? The monkeys pump works,washer fluid, bur nothing. Checked out all the fuses and replaced them was told to check the wiper relay but having a hard time finding it? I was told several places to check but haven't checked under the dash on the driver's side because I have to pull the whole dash apart? Is there a way to take the fuse block out from the left side dash? Was told it might be able to get to it?

Well I replaced both of the wiper relays and the multifunctional swich but still no wipers. I have power to the wiper motor but they don't move. Now when I turn the wipers on the headlights come on? So I don't know what elae to do. Maybe replace the wiper motor? Any suggestions from anyone.
