The master switch can disable other windows. When switches are on the driver's door panel for all suspect the wiring that bends in the door jam has been broken even if unseen by outer insulation it can fray inside and not allow power to get to the master switch. This would be more common on an older vehicle and usually at the driver's most used (usually) door. Relay location may be in owner's manual,

i just changed the 30amp circuit breaker in the fuse box. now it is ticking and only making contact every 6 seconds. i put the test light on the wires between the doors and now i'm only get a dime light when the circuit breaker ticks and makes contact every 6 seconds. the door switch on the drivers side door switch is getting hot. what do you think?....Lenny

There must be a short and usually where it gets hot but still could be shorted where wires bend and get weak and place the hot spot at the switch,
