Power locks/windows Sign In

I have an 04 Hyundai Elantra GLS. Here's my problem as simply as I can describe it:

When Engine is Running
- Drivers side power lock switch usually will not lock the doors, but will unlock. It works sometimes, however.
- Drivers side right rear window switch will not roll down that window, but it will roll it up.
- That same window functions perfectly when operated from the switch on it's door.

When Engine if Off
- Drivers side power lock usually will lock the doors, mainly if the door is open. It unlocks perfectly, 100% of the time.
- Drivers side right rear window switch functions perfectly, rolling the window up and down with no trouble or struggle whatsover.

All other switches function properly at this time.

So, does anyone know what might cause this? It started happening after the car was parked for about 12 days in an airport parking garage. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Where is the master control for all locks and windows? Driver's door or center console?

It's in the drivers door.

With the controls in the driver's door sometimes the wires that have to bend in the door jam get screwed up. Try operating the items with the door part open and when moving it or just wiggle around with the snorkle where they run thru. If that changes it that could be where the problem is,
