Default Power windows problem

I can only open and close the windows from the drivers door buttons, but not from the individual doors themselves. The window lock isn't on either. Has anyone else had this problem? what do you think is wrong with it?

I had that problem on the passenger side door, the window switch didn't work until I took it apart and cleaned it up and cleaned up the connectors. Found a "FORD" circle on the switch too, interesting how many different parts end up where they do.

You could try this to, I had the same problem you did. Do what the guy in post number 8 did, with the blue clip:

Gonna have to try this. My passenger window will only roll down not up from passenger side, nothing from drivers side. I ran a jumper to battery to get it to roll up.

Something in the child safety lock switch breaks and causes it to become permanently engaged. Some people fix it, I just replaced the driver's controls with a new one off EBAY.
