I own a 14' Explorer xlt, never wrecked. The door panel lights on driver side don't light up and will not roll windows down, mirrors won't work. Each individual door in the rear will also not go down; however pass. door will roll down the window. checked fuse #1 under dash, 30amp ok, #32 fuse 15amp also ok. Disconnected batt. ground and still will not re-set.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Forum.:wave:
Did you also check fuse #48? This does not sound like something a battery disconnect or Master Reset will fix.

When this happened in my truck with the windows, it was the driver's "control unit" for all 4 windows that broke. I don't know about the mirrors...
 






I did not check #48 fuse. I am sort of leaning on the switch under the driver door panel. If that is what you mean by driver's "control unit" The dealer called it the switch panel, quoted $125 just for the part. I began disassembly of door panel since the dealer said it would be better for me to bring the switch in to be sure. I guess the VIN wasn't specific enough?

Check to verify that F32 is actually delivering power to the master window control switch and that the ground for the switch is correct. That is the circuit that provides the switch illumination, the visually obvious indicator that power is getting there (it isn't). If that circuit isn't working, none of the others will, either. Since the passenger side switch works that window, we know that F32 is intact.

Do NOT replace anything until you have verified that the switch is actually receiving power and has it's proper ground. On the driver's switch, power comes in on the GN-VT wire on pin 10 and the ground is the black wire on pin 1 of the switch's connector.
 






Projectsho89, I did check the power from fuse box w/ test light and F32 did have power. I will check if power is going to the door switches. If it does, then it would seem the switch is bad.

Peter thanks for that link to dealer in LA.

Make sure you also check the ground from the switch. If it's open, you'd gave exactly the same symptom.

Yes, I already knew that since the passenger side switch works. There's a reason I didn't tell you to check the fuse or power at the fuse.
 






Ok Update. I removed the door panel and the plug was disconnected. It was not on the control switch. It has never been in accident and I've owned it for 3 years. Weird.
