    Some contacts are so corroded manual scraping
    is needed.
    CRC to clean and dielectric grease to preserve.

    I buy dielectric grease in the 3oz tube.

    The switch contacts are hidden inside the
    housing under the buttons and past those prongs
    you see on the underside.

    I wouldn't recommend disassembly of the actual housings
    where the switch contacts are.

    Spray the CRC in the areas past those contact prongs
    that the wiring harnesses connect to.

    Sometimes there a tiny holes in the housing of the
    contacts that the straw tube on the CRC can penetrate
    to clean what is inside you can't see.

    Before plugging the harnesses back in, put dielectric grease
    on the metal contact points of the harness.

    Spray under the buttons on the top side also.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    i am not referring to those connections. when mine went out, it was the striker under the actual button that became worn and wasnt making contact. the actual SWITCH not the connection to factory wiring.

    Okay just to clarify, I'm gonna need to clean all three switch panels to fix the problem?
    That's why I thought it was a problem having to do with power cause when I switched the working switch panel from my back left door to the back right door, it still didn't work.

    "Shotgun"
    Clean all of them.

    After that if them problem still exists,
    it may be the commutator to motor brush contacts.
    CRC will clean those too if ya can get to them inside
    the motor housing.

    CRC cleaner on the switches may not guarantee that the
    switch contacts have been ruled out as the cause.

    So if ya manually apply 12v DC voltage to the motor and they work
    it is definitely in the switches or the wiring harness
    and it's contact points.

    Manually applying voltage, be very careful to only do it VERY briefly,
    you don't want to run the window down or up past the regulator limits.

    If ya have someone who can depress the window switches while you
    check for voltage at the motor wiring harness connector with a digital test meter,
    you can also rule out bad switches.

    I said digital meter cause it's a good habit to get away from using the
    old "test light" checkers on newer vehicle's electrical circuits. Those old "test light' voltage
    checkers can damage newer electronic controlled circuits. Then ya have an even
    more costly repair.

    Okay I know the motor works I'm sure of that, I plugged it into the other door and it worked flawlessly.

    Found the wiring diagram for a 2004 F150

    Of course there is a microprocessor inside the master switch. :facepalm:
