Default Power Window Problem.

I have an 03 Supercrew. On all the windows beside the drivers window the buttons don't work. I can still control them from the driver side panel. I replaced the switch on one window and still not working. My question is can the window lock out switch ever go out and get stuck on being locked. That is my only thought on it. Any input is greatly appreciated.

When the switch locks out the other individual window switches, it should also lock them out on the drivers panel as well - so I would answer that no, I can't think of a scenario where the lock out would become "stuck". Did you replace the switch with a known good switch?

Yeah i went to my local Ford dealer and even got a motorcraft part. Even if i turn on the window lockout i can still control all the windows with the driver side panel just locks out the individual controls. Now i guess i will replace the driver side panel switch.

When I bought my 03 a couple years ago the passenger wouldn't work, but would from the drivers side. I did as you did, got a Ford part for the passenger door - still didn't fix it. Somewhere buried in a thread here I read that you should replace the switch on the drivers door... sounded strange but it fixed my problem.

if the relay is clicking you just need to lube the rubber seal. Use PTFE dry lube.

Actually i thought it was that. Ran by a junkyard today and grabbed a new switch for $15 and all windows working perfect again. I think their was a fault in the window lock out switch.
