Default Electrical Door lock, mirrow and Window problems

1999 F150 4x4

First thing I noticed is that occasionally my windows would not roll down or up if they where down. Usually just one side and the other side would work OK. Some times it is the drivers side and some times it is the passenger side.

Now the electrical door lock will not unlock the passenger side from the driver side but it will lock both sides and the passenger side will unlock and lock both sides most of the time.

Also the mirrow adjustment will only till the morrows up but not left to right or down.

Have not taken the door panels off yet. hoping someone could provide me some insight on what to look for when I get ready to take the panels off.

Thanks

I was thinking either a bad fuse or an improper ground.

I would have someone check the GEM module. Welcome to the site.

Whew, I feel like I just dodged a bullet. When I bought my 06 F-150 the dealer couldn't believe that I wanted a truck with crank up windows, push pull door locks, and rubber floor mats. I tried to explain that since I spend a lot of time in the brush I need rubber mats and so forth. I was talking to a wall, so I shut up and bought the truck I wanted and I'm very happy with it.

All this so that I could tell about a passenger I had once. She was over there riding along and started looking around for something. I asked her what she was looking for and she said that she was looking for the window button. I told her that there's a crank on the door for opening the windows. She had a really funny look on her face like she couldn't believe that the windows actually came down with a crank.
