Default Recently Replaced Window switch, But Passengers Not Working

Hey guys, the title pretty much says it all. I just bought a '99 XJ (first Jeep I've owned that has power windows. Haha.) When I got it the power mirrors wouldn't work and the passenger's window switches did nothing. I just replaced the whole switch and the power mirrors work again, and the master switch still is able to control every bodies windows, but that's it. The other passenger's have no control.
I checked the wires running through the driver's door and they look good. Is it possible all the other switches are bad?

Is the safety lock on? Push the button and and see if the windows work for the rest of them.

You can also try this. > https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/win...working-13287/

I'd look next at the passenger's side door. On my 2000 there's a circuit board in there that had a couple of loose solder connections that fixed a couple problems.

Yeah I tried the windows with the lock in both positions. I'll try the bypass just to see what happens, but I want the correct fix, not an easy one.
I'll look at the passenger's door to see if anything is broken.

Find wiring diagrams for your vehicle. Chilton's manual, Haynes' manual, local library, cruiser54.com for a factory service manual, or rent a subscription to a database.

It will be easier to understand why something isn't working and what may be the problem when you can see the diagrams.
