I have a 2003 Bonneville SSEI I have recently purchased. The sunroof and driver's window work well however, the rest of the windows do not budge whether it is from the driver's control panel or the door switch for them I have no clue where to begin any pointers or common issues I could look for?

when you move the switch to lower window, do you here a click in the door panel?

No I do not, I do not know if this means anything but when I went to look the car over before purchasing. The front passenger window would work from the drivers control panel but not the switch on the passenger door however, now it does not. I have not driven it other than on the trailer and off into a garage spot. I assume maybe a fuse or a bad ground but I have no clue other than that.

Check fuses (just because it's free to do and easy).
Next, I'd try getting another switch assembly for the driver's door, plug it in and see if anything improves. Make sure all the connections are tight on your current one before sourcing a new one btw.
If you've had no luck at this point, you may be at the point where it's time to pull the door cards and replace the motors. (Which isn't that difficult at all on these cars, but it will take some money, so explore the other options first.)
