Exclamation Stupid electric windows & locks!!

so my electric windows and locks.. what a mess! need help please! basically nothing works 100% of the time except for the passenger front electric lock/unlock and driver electric window. Otherwise, the driver lock/unlock works maybe 10% of the time and the passenger front window (switch from driver & passenger front) works 10% of the time as well. **also, when the switch works, the doors all lock and unlock, its just a matter of the switch not working** one time the window rolled down and wouldn"t roll up, and numerous times u keep pressing the switch the locks will eventually work. ive messed with it, checked fuses, took out the master control pannel and looked at it, idk whats wrong with it. Could the control pannel be going bad? please help!

99.9% sure it's your ignition switch. It's 40 to 50 bucks at parts store. To get to it you have to take the plastic housing off the steering column.

check the wiring to the master switch.the harness from the door to the body breaks from constantly opening and closing the door.
