Window Trouble
So this problem started some time back. I finally had figured out that my power windows only worked when the driver side door was open. this lead me to believe that there was a short/grounded out when the door was shut or almost shut Recently I took the door panel off and looked at the loom of wires going thru and could find none that were broken or missing insulation.
Next I decided to take the stop off that keeps the door from opening to far, although there were no wires hooked up to this I thought I could open the door further for working on it. After I unbolted the 2 bolts that hold it on to the truck the windows did not work at all. Thought maybe it was loosing a ground so I put the two bolts back in and still the windows did not work if the door was shut or open
I have checked the blue power wire coming into the switch and still have power and if I test continuity on the ground tab on the switch and the door I get a good connection. So I think I have good power and ground.
Now at a loss what else to do. Any ideas???

Ted Is there a window lock out switch ( to keep kids from playing w/ the windows). I dont have a crew cab but on my wife's Pilot there is one. If so could this switch be going bad- keeping the other windows from working?

This might sound nuts but did your radio not work with that powerwindow problem?? Why I ask is mine did it again just recently, but with all the windows not working. My problem seems to be in the fuse box somewhere because when I push in the fuses in more the windows work. Might be caused by these wonderful roads we have with all the bumping around, just a guess.

I do have the lockout switch and I guess it could have gone bad since I took the panel off. I may look for a way to wire around it for testing

The radio does work, hopefully it will stay working.
It originally was all windows would not work when the door was shut, now none of them work period
