Electric window switch problem
On my '00 XJ it has electric windows. The driver's door controls will operate all our windows without issue. however, none of the other door controls work at all. The lockout button is off, and I've turned it on and back off to see if it was somehow backwards, but still nothing. Any thoughts on what would be causing this?

You have met the typical problem where the lock button failed. If you replace the drivers door control it should make the rest work.

Yes. Splicing together acts like the switch is closed and allows the passenger windows to be operated from the passenger doors.

I just fixed this issue about a week ago using video number 2, or the "harder" way. I have absolutely no experience with electronics, wiring, or soldering, but by going slow and being patient, all issues are now cleared up.

A couple months ago there was one listed on Amazon for $32 (rounded up the cents) Now with a quick search I'm getting the cheapest at $42 (again rounded up the cents)

I was going to say that since I've had 4 XJ's that were all bad.
You buy a bad one at a junk yard I don't think they will give your money back
Plus the way I fixed it was 25 cents and about 8 minutes

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeNBpzFnltk I followed this video. Same idea as the first video that Merkin posted.
