My Power window issue
My front passenger and both rear windows will only operate from the driver door controls, it's like the window lock feature is on, even though it isn't
Any ideas where to start?

You are correct the window locks are known to break on these quite often. So if you dont mind not having the window lock features anymore you will have to jump a wire in the driver kick panel. Cream colored wire and yellow wire. I just got away with a wire tap. If you need more info this video may help.

The solder on the board for the driver switch has been known to fail. If the video EEVEE doesnt do it for you, here is another on resoldering the board.
The wiring passes thru the kick panel into the door, which is another weak spot as the wiring gets overstressed. You will have to push the rubber boot into the door to get to the wiring, and then the lack of room makes any repairs needed cumbersome. Power door/window, and speaker wiring all pass thru that boot. Here is another video. Skip ahead to about 3:40.

Oh yeah i forgot to mention those as well im sorry. Yes that boot is a common place for the wires to break as well... And a nightmare to fix if there is no working room.
