F250 Power window problem

my 01 F250 power windows only work from the driver switch with the lock on, if I take the lock off and use the other door switches the window may go up a little and then I get a burning smell from the switch at the driver door. I am looking for a wiring diagram to trace this out. Any help would be appreciate

I have the Haynes manual, the diagram does not have the lock out switch shown and the color code is all wrong making it a bit hard to follow.

I bought shop cds from ebay for 24.99 shipped to my door. They are superb, wonderful, exciting, exhilarating, wordy(in a good way), Helpful,complete. Oh, and i like them. They cover 96-01 all ford products and take 8 Gig on my computer!!!!!! well worth the money. They are the shop manuals that the dealers(supposedly) use.

look for a sort to ground on your ye/LG wire it's the feed to your other switches which goes through your lock switch but if it was grounded I doubt your other switches would work also it should blow a fuse so get a switch

I replaced the switch and it resolved the problem for about a week and then it re-occured, so there must be something else causing it. All I can think of is possibly a partially broken wire causing a voltage drop and corresponding high amp draw.
