Default 2005 Expy Power window's issue.

First time poster... on a Ford Forum that is... Done with the Chevy's...

I searched the forums and didn't see the same type of issue I have.
From Driver door I can roll down/up all windows in vehicle-no problem. From all three other doors windows do not work 99.9% of the time. I can occasionally get one of the other windows to move an inch or two from other doors in vehicle but very rare that this happens. I have removed all of the other window switches, cleaned all contacts, replaced Driver switch (4 individual window switches and 1 window lock out switch) with new one from local Ford Dealer. All 4 windows obviously work but annoying as heck to have to adjust all of them for passengers after a while. Plus looking to trade in for new Expy and would like this fixed.
My guess it there is a damaged wire in the driver door or under the dash. I know there was some questionable work done under the dash for an after market DVD that replaced the Factory one in the back seat. I'm rechecking gall wires to make sure something isn't snipped or cut.
Any ideas?

I have this exact problem also. Driver door Master switch will operate all but each individual door switch wil not, 99% of the time. Sometimes you can get it to start and then nothing, no Ground or a short, but where?
Should i take back the "brand new" Master switch assembly? I Bought it yesterday nothing changed when replaced.
Thanks
