My suggestions,

1) Door windows --if more than one do not work--sounds electrical/fuse/switches. If not electrical and the former owner ignored them when they failed, then maybe it is the window motor gears. The enclosed internal gears attached to the window motors are notorious for chewing up because the parts are plastic/nylon. Do you hear any noise or whining when trying them--you should then. With low mileage, it seems odd, but then again, age is more a factor with that stuff--it just turns brittle over time. You have to remove the window motors to check that scenario. Gear Kits are available. The actual repair isn't bad--just the motor removal.

2) My rear door wouldnt open on an '89. I was able to detach the inside trim panel after removing the rear seat and putting the front seats full forward. Your situation may be different for rear access--but that may be what you have to do. After opening the door panel, you may find a broken part--or in my case, the parts needed a good lube spray loosening. The door has been fine since. My front passenger door had a $1.00 broken part that mounted on the lock cylinder and actuated the pull rod. It was troublesome to repair because I broke one doing it---but at a few bucks expense, that door now unlocks with a key fine.
