Default Window switches wont work

I have a 1998 Cherokee limited. The driver door switch will roll all four windows down but the passenger and rear windows wnt roll down with their switches. I don't have the window lock on. Lol. How do you fix this?

Do yourself a HUGE favor and pop your door panel off first. Mine did the same thing, thought I would have to jumper it, but when I took the door panel off to replace the door speakers, I found the previous owner had only reconnected one of the two wiring connections inside. Plugged it back in and everything worked like new!

Good luck, I hope your troubles turn out to be simple like mine did.

Check the wires in the rubber boot at the driver's door....
mine the brown wire snapped...
so when I swing the door opened fully....my windows does not work with the master switch....if the door is half open...it works...
well....it works now....hope this helps....
