Spray WD-40 in door latches then open and shut (very firmly - almost slamming) several times. The switch for interior lights is in latch instead of a plunger switch in door jamb as it used to be decades ago.
I'm guessing with the windows, here. If you can remove power window switches, try cleaning electrical contacts. Can you check for voltage at the motors when the switches are pressed? Hopefully it's not that the power window motors are done and need to be replaced.

^^ do that. Then find your GEM under your dash and see if you have a leaky windshield dripping on it.
