power window problem
Ok i just purchased a 2001 durango slt last week. the driver side window buttons will control all windows. but the buttons for each window on each door will not work. I did push the window lock button and tried the windows in both the lock and unlock positions and had the same outcome.. nothing at each switch. I'm sure its an easy fix. Like maybe the lock button is stuck on?? or a relay?? Any help is appreciated.

It could be that the WINDOW LOCK button no longer works. You could probably get a new drivers side unit at a junk yard for a few dollars. Unscrew the 5 screws holding on the door panel, disconnect the door handle rods, speakers, and control unit; then it should come out. Might be an easy fix. u-tube has good videos on how to do it.
Just an idea.

As for taking the door panel off to fix the switch, why?!?! The plastic piece that the switches attach to pops out on its own! Pull gently at the bottom of the plastic square around the switch and it should just pop right out, just be careful not to break the tabs that hold it in. I'm not responsible if you do!

The junkyard unit will just fail in the same way as the previous unit, if it hasn't failed already. The best option is to do the WINDOW LOCK BYPASS, as stated in the link I posted in my original reply

And I have children that ride in my vehicle, I like to lock my windows. I just replaced it with a junkyard unit. I haven't had an issue yet.

Sorry, not on my 98', you must have a different package than I do. My switch thing is screwed in from the backside of the panel.

Thanks Rock! That worked perfectly! And was super easy!! My wife will be much happier now that she can control her own window haha
And I know everyone that rides in my truck was much much happier once they could control their own windows too! lol
