power window lock
I got this jeep a while back (95 xj, mostly stock) for a badass daily driver. The driver door was odd, had a manual window and lock instead of power like the other 3, guy said it was stuck shut and he had to cut a hole in it to get it open or some bs. Anyway, problem is, he said the window lock was on when he took the old door off, so none of the other doors window switches work. Any suggestions? Do I replace the motor, switches, whole door with manual Windows, or is there some way to reprogram them somehow?

Odds are that the PO hacked the wiring harness and you're looking at a fairly drawn out endeavor. I believe that the master relay feed for all 4 windows/locks goes through the driver's switch. That said, you're probably best off to find a complete power door and replace it. A wiring diagram and connector set might help as well.

So if I get a new drivers door and wire it up, I should be ok? Your right I think he cut the wiring harness, but then again I DID see the pigtail for the speaker (which still works) so maybe it won't be so bad

The wiring comes in a bundle through the door and plugs into a module for the lock. Big one for the driver door, cause it's six switches and little one on the passenger door. It would be pretty hard to pull the wires out, so they would have likely unplugged it at left it or cut it off. Plus it is possible somebody did a door swap a subbed a manual door.

It's cut on the passenger side. I can see it cut flush with the body. Door is definitely swapped. My jeep is white and the door was green, rattle canned white (neatly)

That sucks. Why wouldn't they just unplug it and leave it? Well you can splice each wire into a new switch, there is nothing complicated, just tedious. I have seen a few sites that sell a compete wire harness for the doors but they were stupidly expensive. The passenger side isn't too bad since it's just one switch and the door lock.

I can splice no problem. I work at a shop, so supplies like quick crimps and marine shrink tube are pretty much unlimited lol

update
I put a whole new door on, spliced the harness together and all I got is locks. No power to any other wires except the speaker wiring. All fuzes are good, no visible damage to wiring, I'm out of ideas
