Windows won’t go up

Chevrolet Cavalier 2003 2door LX 170000 miles
The windows will go down. They will not go up. I did replace the master switch. I’m going to check your fuse tomorrow. Under the master switch there are wires, but they’re not in that rubber circular piece they should be in. Do you think maybe one of those wires could be not touching one another if the fuse is good because my sunroof opens and closes wonderfully could that possibly be on a different fuse just getting frustrated it’s 90° where I’m at and I have no windows if I put them down they won’t come up someone please help.

Chevrolet Cavalier 2004 Manual 5000 miles
Hola, a mí cavalier, el indicador de la temperatura se elevo hasta el tope, pero mi carro no dió indicaciones de falla, siguió andando bien y sin problemas, el abanico funciona, la ánfora de igual manera.
Se me hizo extraño porque maneje por varios kilómetros y después de una parada de 5 minutos y encender el carro de nuevo paso eso. ojalá alguien tenga algo se noción de eso, gracias, thanks
