Power window lock

[lmerchen]

I am having problems with the power windows for the passengers. I can activate the windows from the drivers side position but no one else can activate their windows. Someone once told me it was probably the power window lock but I can't figure out how to bypass it. I have done everything short of getting a different one and putting it in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

make sure it is unlocked from driver controls,the driver switch or each passenger switch may be bad, go to junk yard should find them cheap there

Thank you very much, it doesnt look like it is the drivers side switch. I have replaced it with a used one and doesnt change anything. I tried two used ones and neither makes any difference. Guess I start try the passenger switches now. Thank you again.

Disconnect the window lock switch and see if windows work. If they do, replace switch.

another thing you can do is to check to make sure you are getting juice to the switches and window motors, not to scare you but I had a 93 sable and none of the power windows or locks worked, it took me a few days to figure it out but I ended up pulling the carpet up on the driver side and the wire harnes was burnt to a crisp , Im suprised that anything worked at all. Took a while but I got a chunk of harnes from a junk yard and spliced it in.

Thank you again, I will be working on that to see if there is juice to the windows on the other side. I dont think there is a way to disconnect the power window lock switch. I have tore that hole swith apart, to the point that I think some parts a missing now. I did try two different switches but the didnt work either. I appreciate all the help.
