I've pulled the driver side door apart. I checked for any loose cables and it all seems to be connected. Keep in mind the other side (passenger side) windows is not working too. So if the driver's side connection was loose then the passenger's side would still be working unfortunately both are not working.
I don't really know what is the problem here. For some reason I think the problem is something simple like the fuse (though I have checked that). I don't think it has anything to do with the window's mechanism and motor because both sides of the window stopped working at the same time. I would be more convinced if one side stopped working but both stopped working so I really don't know what the problem is. Anyone?

No that's is not right, if driver side windows switch is not connected or bad, that's mean passenger window will not work. it could be bad wires or ground.
Update - I've managed to checked all the fuses properly this time. Since the fuse reference says all the power windows is 20A. I've actually checked all the fuse with 20A. I found one fuse to be blown which was something called like "wipers and power relay".
So I've replaced that fuse and both windows finally operate. As I thought everything was all solved went to try it in the morning and both windows won't operate now. I checked the fuse again and it's blown again. I replaced it with another new fuse and it starts to get blown again. Something is not right here, every new fuse I replace it gets blown. Does anyone know why this is happening and how can I fix this problem?
that fuse is number 14. open circuit broken wire and bad ground will blow fuses. try changing fuse while door is opened and while door is close. it could be broken wire between the door and the chassis. also could be bad ground. Grounds is black wires.
Check the ground under dashboard driver side behind the fuse box. 3 black wires are bolted to the chasis check if it's loose or bad contact.

Right! I will have a look in the morning when I wake up though I'm not really good at these kinda stuff and as confusing this all sounds to me I will try my best to understand.
But let me tell you more bout the scenario, maybe it will help abit.
Okay, when I replace the blown fuse with a new one. I turn the ignition once to see if the windows operate, they work. Then I turn the ignition off then turn the car on this is when the windows stop working and fuse blows. It happens like this most the time, but other times once or twice just after I replaced with a new fuse and goto turn the ignition on just once it blows.
So yeah could you explain to me more simpler? What should I do? This is straight confusing and frustrating! But appreciate your help!
