Default PowerWindows/locks weird

I have 2001 1500 5.9 4X4. As of Friday my power locks stopped working and only my drivers side window works as long as I keep banging the door!!!! The passenger side door doesn't work at all and neither does the control for it on the driver side. I checked the power lock fuse, its still good. The power window fuse is metal type and I cannot tell if it is good or not. My friend says its the power window fuse, but the locks are not working either! Could the control on the drivers door be shot and be somehow effecting the other doors controls?

Please help!!

They aren't fuses, they are circuit breakers.

Take out the door pull pocket, (two screws) reach in there with a finger, and press the connector onto the switch. (hold the switch from on top, so it doesn't simply pop out.) See if that improves its attitude any. (for the windows at least.)

Mine simply does not hang on tight...... No clue what the real issues is, but, every so often I have to stick my fingers in there, wiggle it around some, and then it works again.
