windows windows and windows
No windows working. Take apart the boot in the drivers door and discover most wires cracked, broken. Replaced wires from kickpanel to connectors in door. Driver window working, but no other. All switches tested and work. Rear cigarette lighter not working... would the rear lockout switch, if broken cause not even the lights to work on the rear switches? Does this lockout button stay depressed when working properly, or does it spring back all the time?
Any other ideas of what to look for when testing? It's driving me CRAZY

Okay, try this...
If the driver's side has power, then you are getting power to the switch - check by cupping your hand over the switches (w/car running) and see if they are illuminated.
If they are:
-Open the passenger side door and look for broken wires in THAT accordion boot. Splice if broken. Put multimeter across the leads to check for power if not broken, and try from both switches.
-Pull the driver's side switch bank and pull out the rear seat lockout switch (push down on outside _hard_ with your thumb to remove from console). Replace with known good one, or the $2 switch you got at the junkyard like I did. Replace switch and marvel at the movement in the back windows.
If you look at the Bentley, it appears (if my memory serves) that the rear window power is connected to the rear cig lighter. My back windows were fixed with the $2 switch replacement above. And yes the lockout switch stays depressed, you pop it up to lock out the rear switches.
Good luck!
