'04 Power windows on front passenger side and rear left will not work. Both went out at same time. Might be wiring problems. What do ya'll think.

Welcome to the forum! Does it work from any of the other switches or have you just tried the master switch on the driver side?
 






No. Only reason I think it might be wiring is because they both went out at the same time.
 


















I have had people call up before and several of the motors die at the exact same time. Might be time to pull apart the doors and do some testing with the motors and maybe the switches

Let me start by welcoming you to the forum. :salute:

I agree that it could be wiring related. A lot of electrical issues can be traced back to broken/damaged wire(s) in the boot between the body and the driver's door. I found a broken wire and repaired it and all is back to normal!

To check for broken/damaged wires, start by removing the door panel:

Then examine the wires very carefully. When you think you are done checking the wires, do it again. A flashlight will help out.
