Power Windows Broke :(
It's been a while since I've had this issue, but all of my power windows go up/down by the drivers window switch perfectly, but if I go to the other doors and press the power window switches nothing works at all. I do kinda remember there's a single wire in the drivers door loom that gets pinched/broke and makes the other power window switches NOT work... Am I right, or just a dum dum?
Any help would be great! Thanks Brent.

A very common problem. Check out the attach link and see if it work for you. It worked great on my 98.

BTW, What ever you do DO NOT use a paper clip use a piece of wire.

If you take apart the driver's door panel you can remove the switch control board and re-flow the bad solder joints on the board, then you can still use the switch! There are a couple really good videos on YouTube about this.

It's ALL fixed! super super easy! I took apart the door panel, took out the master switch and took it apart, and re-soldiered the switch and WALLAH! fixed! Thanks again for all the help, it was super easy! Brent

And instead of just "jumping" the wires at the connector by the kick panel, just fix it "right", you'll be happier and much easier! Food for thought
