Hey if anyone has this problem let me in on the fix :rck:
Driver side controls works the driver side window sometimes, does not work the passenger side at all, nor does the passenger side work at all. I have not tore into this as of yet, hope to get some insight first. I believe it to be in the driver side master control switch. Thanks.

Take the switches out and WD-40 the heck out of them. It should at least work enough to tell you if it is just the switches or not. I've had this problem, or something like it. I ended up taking the switches apart and cleaning them.
One was just worn out, so I got one from the junk yard and cleaned it. Good Luck!

WD-40 will dry up and gum up the mech. You need to use a lube that will not dry out, 3-in-one oil will do the trick (made by the makers of WD-40)
WD-40 = Water Displacement 40th Attempt. It displaces water, dries up, and provides a protective coating (to prevent rust). It is, however, a horrible lubricatant.

Yes, I agree, WD-40 will dry up. But it's a good enough cleaner to figure out if it's the switches or not. Your gonna need the pressure of the squirt, to move the dirt, that 3 in 1 oil won't give you. You can use that afterward though. What actually should be used, is a can of electronic connection cleaner. But that stuff is expensive.

Good point. A good Electrical contact cleaner can be found at Radio Shack.
