Default Only driver can roll up or down windows

For some reason only my window switch works. All other 3 doors just stopped working one day.

Not to be a smart *** but it happens to me all the time, my wife asks me to roll the passenger window down and I hit the window lock button for her to do it herself. Damn placement of the window lock switch, hit it all the time with my arm, did you check the simple stuff like the lock switch first. Other than that, try cleaning the fuses, as I believe the drivers switch is on a separate circuit from the rest, then if necessary, clean the drivers switch contacts.
Good luck
Tom

It might be the lockout switch but someone on here not long ago had an issue with a broken wire in the drivers door.

Its the main control switch in driver door. Once it goes out you lose all passengers control. My expedition acted up like that one day and eventually couldnt roll down back seats. Replace it.

You can be a cheapo and get a switch that isnt as nicely finished
Amazon.com: NEW Ford F-150 (4 window button, panel, door, lock) 2004-2008 Window Master Control Switch: Automotive Amazon.com: NEW Ford F-150 (4 window button, panel, door, lock) 2004-2008 Window Master Control Switch: Automotive

or get the OEM replacement
Amazon.com: NEW 2004-08 OEM F-150 (4 window button, panel, door, lock) Window Master Control Switch Ford (2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 04 05 06 07 08 Drivers side, power, button, four door): Automotive Amazon.com: NEW 2004-08 OEM F-150 (4 window button, panel, door, lock) Window Master Control Switch Ford (2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 04 05 06 07 08 Drivers side, power, button, four door): Automotive

First be sure to unplug all connections in driver door master switch and try cleaning them first tho..

As said earlier, if the passenger doors are on a separate circuit, then it could be a fuse. I don't know that to be fact, but it's worth checking into since it's easy.

If it's not a fuse and you can't find the source then look inside the rubber boot on your drivers door. I had that problem and one off the wires had split in half

Just replaced the switch and no dice. Got 12 volt constant and 12 volt switching confirmed at the window switch.
