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.
If you tear that master switch apart it has little tiny, tiny, tiny contacts that are impossible to repair or clean, I tried. Mine were all green from corrosion.

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