All window switches suddenly didn't work. Checked fuses and replaced. Still switches don't work. Can one bad switch affect all others if on drivers control panel? What about control switch which allows driver to control if passengers can use window switches? Must all 4 switches on drivers side be replaced? Thanks

If the master control, driver's door, looses power none of the switches will work. Double check your fuses. Then check the relays, the for power in and out of the master switch. Hope this helps.

Contacts were corroded in fuse box. Works now and saved $$.
