Problem #1: For some reason all windows in my ex can only be controlled from the driver side controls. It's kind of like the window lock is on except it isn't. But the windows im my ex respond when im letting a window up from the driver side controls (ex: I let the window up on the passenger side from the driver side control and someone on the passenger side presses the the button for the window, it will stop. So there is a reaction). I would like to know if anyone has ever had this problem and how can it be fixed.

Problem #2: I think their is something wrong with my gear shifter. When I try to put my ex in part is won't go all the way in park, so sometimes I have to turn the key to on and shift into neutral or try to put it in park for it to start. How can I fix this?

The window problem is likely a faulty window lock. Have someone hold the window down button, and snap the window lock button back and forth. if the window studders, or works after switching it a bunch of times, its the switch. Mine's been like this for years.

Not sure about the shifter.
 






Well I tried it. No reaction. I wonder what it could be.
 






It could still be the switch. Just might be bad to the point where it will not intermittently work.
 






How could I fix this?
 






The switch block itself can be replaced if you remove the handle/switch combo deal. I'm sure you could test the switch with a multi-meter. Mine is messed up, and I am going to find the right wires, and just solder them together. I have no real need for the window lockout.
