Answer
Tony,
  Please understand that I know enough about electricity to keep my tongue out of a wall socket, Okay?? Also look at my profile, I'm a Parts Specialist, NOT a Tech but will give you my best guess as to what may be the problem.
  Okay, driver's side is broken but passenger side is working. Right? After "stressing" the system, the Passenger side is not working, right??
  It sounds to me like you have blown the relay or fuse. Maybe burned up motors "rocking the button alot". Are the motors getting power? Can you hear them "hum" when the button is pushed? IF SO, can you disconnect the motor from the regulator and move the windows by hand? There could be a mechanical problem causing a load on the electrical system. Can you see any problems with the regulators?
  We need to create a "tree".
  1. Are the motors getting power?
     If yes, look at mechanical.
     If no, look at electrical.
  2. If the motors are getting power, there must be a mechanical problem, which I doubt since both went South within a week of each other. But stranger things have happened.
  3. If the motors are NOT getting any power now, I'd look at a relay or fuse. I know all this may be redundant but if you kept rocking the power switch, you may have burned out the relay, fuse OR the switch!!
  I hope this helps. Good luck and let me know....
