power window questions…

hello. i have been racking my brain trying to figure out how my master control switch on the driver door controls the rear windows in my crew cab. i definitely am thinking too hard about this so i just want to clear my head. are the up and down wires to the rear doors always hot? how does a window switch on my master control panel control a window? very confused but it made sense to me that if those wires were always hot, then the switch on the door would ground that wire and make the window move. I definitely need a rundown on switches and how they work but figured someone could enlighten me.

Switches could be crap or full of it. Ever tried electrical contact cleaner in them....Deoxit is the best!
