Ok, I pulled the door panel & switch off. Pulled the rubber boot off the wiring and found one busted wire. It was a green wire, actually 2 green wires fused together (OE) and then into 1 green wire. I soldered these back together and still the switch doesn't work right.
I swapped back in my OE switch and different windows worked differently. Back windows went down but not up. Front windows did the same. Swapped in the 'replacement used' switch and the back windows went up but the front windows were not working.
I'm pretty sure & at least hoping its the switches.
I ordered a new switch and will swap it when it gets here. Hopefully it will fix the problem.

Update:
I ordered a Master Switch f eBay (not OE, but only $65 shipped, new w lifetime warranty)... Swapped it in yesterday & so far it's worked flawlessly. Apparently my OE & the used one I bought f another forum member both had issues.
Hopefully this thread can be helpful for others down the road.

Update2: The Master Switch I bought f/ebay went bad ~ 2 months in... exchanged it for another one due to the lifetime warranty... and it's Also gone bad (~ 8 months). I'm going to just poney up the $$ and get an OE New Switch and be done w/it for another 100K miles.
