Default power window issues

Ok I had my dash out over the weekend put it back in and all seemed fine. Well today 3 of the 4 windows stopped working with there individual switches but they DO work from the main switch panel on the drivers door.
Any ideas?

Thanks guys

I can't remember if the 95 has the window lock button like the 98+ does... If so, check that.

It does and I checked....unless it went bad. I do have one plug under the dash I am not sure what it is for. It is in a "pocket" next to the one that all of the head light wiring goes through.

Pop up the master window switch on the driver door and see if any connections are loose or corroded. We had that happen on my parents old Cadillac and it was a loose connection.

Yea, those switches are kinda in a susceptible place to get wet if you ever have to roll down your window down in the rain. I believe this is kinda common. You probably will be replacing your switch sooner or later but I would try to "clean" it out with electrical contact cleaner first.
