Default locks and window

ok so my switched in the back for the small windows dont work and all the buttons on the pass. side dont work and the door locks dont work at all and the door lock wont even push down so the only buttons that work are the driver side window buttons....
is just me or is it odd that all the windows go down but only one set of buttons works could the window lock be stuck on? and is there a way to fix the lock with out taking the door panel off

replace the drivers side switches.... with these... i have the same problem and figured it out that the drivers side switch is grounding out the other switches.... link:

$50 is cheap enough for me if it fixes the problem...
and why windows go up and down kinda choppy and the back windows go up really slow will it fix those problems too?

have you check the window actuator to see if the bushings are worn?

i havent checked anything i know absolutely nothing about electrical things or window motors... ive never taken the door panel off.. also my electric mirrors only go left and up so i think that something is wired wrong

definitely a wiring issue, get a ford or haynes repair manual and start tracing wires, and grounds... not the switch in this case, or could be a combo

back ones could just be cause they are going. when the windows go they slowly get weaker and weaker usually they dont just got out immediately, but could deff be wiring as well, for this and the other probs.

speaking of locks, my power door lock buttons both side works but only the driver side lock goes up & down the passenger one doesnt, and i noticed its kinda hard to push down, itll pop up with ak ey but not by pressing the button and my handle on the inside of the pass door wont open up i can only open the pass door from the outside whys that? maybe something d/c and why will my dome light not come on when ym driver doors open but will when my pass is open?

in the last year i've had a minor switch problem with the 5.0 liter. the drivers side window goes down easy, but the passenger side switch is screwed, and the window only goes down when i push the passenger window switch from the driver side while the passenger is pulling the window down. i'm not gonna worry about it though it's no big deal to me. if it's super hot pssshhh i use the ac anyway.
