Default Strange issue

I searched throughout the forum, but could not duplicate the issue I am having.

I can open and close all the windows from the driver's door, but cannot control them from each individual door. And to add onto that, none of the individual window switches are lit up. I think all the power is fed from the main switch in the driver's door, but need confirmation.

If this has been covered, I apologize and the mods can lock this thread up.

If you dont have the window lock switch flipped on it almost sounds like your other three switches are burnt out. to test it i would only order one and replace one to make sure that it corrects it. there is no reason to order all three and then find out there is some master control for it which im pretty sure there isnt. they should all be on their own set up and not tied all together. the driver one should be the only switch that is tied into everything.

Thanks for the responses.

The lockout switch on the driver's door is turned off allowing the windows to be controlled individually from each door.

I also noticed that the door lock switch on the passenger door works, but will not light up either.

The lighting issue is pretty common actually. I have seen a lot of these trucks with the lights burnt out in the switches.

I managed to find the wiring schematic and will test each switch tomorrow morning. Hopefully its just an issue with the master switch..
