u can try and jiggle the whole rubber housing in between the body and door and see if it works, they tend to pinch sometimes

The paper clip trick only worked on 2 of the passenger windows, So I took the wiring out of the rear right door and checked to see any pinched wiring, there wasn't any, so I put it back together. I changed over to a piece of wire and give it one more shot, now all windows work. It was really strange though.

Maybe the wire inside the protect coating somewhat pushed them together and had power to it. I don't know, I'm just glad it works now.

I'm thinking could I have a bad switch on my driver side main switch?

Its possible mine does the same thing but with all the doors. And sometimes the power locks work and sometimes they dont. And when i go to lock it it makes a screeching noise that comes from the dome light!! I have no fing clue im gonna try to replace the main door pannel and then the dome light thingy cause there is a circuit board in it.

That's even more weird when you said it coming from the dome light.

Default I sent a write up

look at the write up don't just use the paper clip. As far as them coming back on start looking through all the wiring junctions in the door.

I didn't use a paper clip, I changed it to a wire and striped the ends off and plug it in. Tape it around and it been fine since 3 days now.
