On the driver side panel the passenger window switch dose not work, including the central door locking button and both passenger and driver side. Also the rear hatch button to open up the hatch idosent work either. I made sure the window lock wasnt on and the fuses are fine, ever had a problem with a vehicle like this? Would you know where I could look, Im not an expert machanic but I know my way around the shop

If you're lucky as me the switch has probably gotten wet and failed. It just pulls out of the door by pushing it toward the back of the door while lifting up on the front of the panel. That will give you access to the wiring so you can test for functions. It's a simple switch with the contact plate pressed on and tabs twisted to make contact. GENTLY turn the tabs back, scrape the connection points a bit and twist them back and test again. I have seen many of them that were repaired that way.
