Default Electrical issues

I have a 2004 Dodge ram 1500 4X4, I'm having a few issues. My power windows stopped working on the individual switches, but the master switch still rolls them up and down. Yes I've checked lockout switch and it works fine. I went as far as to change the drivers window controller and the samething occurs. My other issue is my signal lights, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I'll turn on my left signal and either the right one comes on or nothing will happen??? After a few more tries everything work fine? Any ideas......

The turn signal issue sounds like a faulty multi-function switch. Did all the windows stop working at the same time? How did you test the lockout switch?

Yes the three other window switches stopped working at the same time. I replaced the master switch with a new one and the windows still don't work on their own. The motors work because I can roll them down. I also tried my old master controller in another ram and works fine, I could roll his windows up and down on their switches. So it's gotta be in the electrical of my truck? I heard someone mention a circuit breaker of the power windows down by the floor too.......

I was looking at the circuit on an 03 model ram, the circuit brkr is there but looks like if something was wrong with it, not even the drivers door controls will work. power comes from Run/ACC1 to CB to Drivers door control panel. Signals and power are then passed from drivers side control panel, out individually to the other 3 door's control panels. This is with the understanding that all windows work up/down from drivers door but will not work at all from the other individual control panels.

The only thing I see in common with the other 3 windows not working is the "lock out" signal. Now for an 03, it exits the drivers controls on pin 8 and travels to each of the other 3 panels and enters them on pin 6. If it were me, i would check for continuity from Pin 8 on drivers panel to pin 6 on atleast 1 or 2 of the 3 other panels. I am betting you have an open wire along this path some where.

May want to download the service manual from weedaho signature (guy on here) and look at the wiring for it on your year model, perhaps the same.

If you will PM me your email address i would be happy to send you pictures of the wiring i am talking about from my service manual.
