Default Power windows issue

I am having an issue with my power windows. My passenger side window wouldn't work at first so I replaced the window motor and regulator. Now all the windows work from the drivers side switch but not individually from the door switches. I think the window lock may have gone bad. Is there any way that I can bypass the lock? Or do I need a new switch panel?

Your problem is the safety lockout switch, under the kick panel of the driver side, splice the yellow and tan wire. Takes about 10 min. Had to do it on mine.

What ever you do. DON'T leave the paper clip in there replace it with a piece of insulated wire. I should have mentioned that in the last post. The paper clip can over heat and a possibility of melting the other wire causing a short.

Two quick connects and a 3 inch piece of wire. Never worry about it again.
