Phil so I just picked up a friend and he tried to use the passenger window switch and nothing. I then checked the rear door window switches and nothing either. Is it possible that I missed a wire or could this be something else?

FYI all windows work from master switch, door looks work from everywhere, power mirrors work all around including the folding in feature.

Lol good!
try grabbing the rubber boot in the passenger door jamb and wiggle the bundle of wires while you try the switch.
Do the drivers side also to see if you missed a wire...

If you can get your hands on a wiring diagram it will show what each wire does and help you narrow down your search.

They all share the same ground wire coming off of the master switch. I would give that wire/connection a serious look. I know other members on here have fixed that problem by fixing a problem with the shared ground.

Ok so here goes the perplexity lol.
I went outside and put keys in and opened switch.

I tried the passenger doors and wallah they all work all of a sudden, very weird yesterday none would work. Now all of the passenger windows will go up and down with their respective doors opened except the right passenger window, that one will only go up and not down while it's opened.

I'm thinking about opening up the drivers door panel again and tracing the ground wire (Solid Blk) to where it connects on the inside on the left kick panel.

Update on ongoing mystery lol. This morning I turned on the truck and all the windows are still working from the master switch. I closed the drivers door and tried to open the passenger windows and none of the 3 would work. I then decided to open up the drivers door, then I tried to open each passenger window and wallah they all worked.

To Recap: The passenger windows will only work if the drivers side door is open.

Possibilities: There is still a broken wire that somehow eluded me on the driver side door harness.

Question: Since it is affecting all 3 passenger windows, would it be the ground that they all share, or is there another cable that all 3 windows share. I posted the picture of the wiring diagram for the windows, but I understand it only a little bit I'm not proficient with it, any help would be greatly appreciated?

Were in the home stretch gentleman, lol.
