The power door lock and window switch is a common problem with the cherokees. I have an 89 and some of the switches on the panel do not work. I do not know much about the whole problem unfortunately because I never looked into it. I think you should use Google to try to find anyone in your area with the problem and see if you can find an answer. I am sorry I could not solve your problem, but I do not want to let you wonder if anyone read this thread. Hopefully this post will make it more noticeable for others so you get a quick answer. Good luck to you though.

I can help you about the window switch, because i discover that under the swithces block there are two metal layer with a layer of insulant between them. This layer packet have to be right and deoxidized, because the metal layers do the ground for the switches, and if they don't have a good contact the windows don't work anyway.
