Hint, went through this last year. If you have the CC all power to PS front and DS/PS rear goes through the DS (master switch) first. So if that is flaky, like mine the others won't work. I guess it makes sense because that is the door opened most often and gets wet from the rain.

Since the rears are working I'll bet the DS switch is the culprit.
