Window switches go up but not down?

Tried the search and it wasnt working, so sorry to bother you guys.

Today, I was trying to roll down the passenger side and rear windows and they would not budge. I rolled them down using the switch on each door just fine and could roll them up with the switchs on the drivers door. I also noticed that the power window lock button did not prevent the switches at the other doors from working. I can see where the contact for the down function on one switch but all three at once? Anyone else have this problem and know of a fix?

Thanks guys..

Bad Master Switch (the one on the driver's door). Get a new one from the dealer or a used on from a junk yard. Takes about 5 minutes to replace.

Master switch is bad. You can try and take it appart and clean the contacts. Sometimes the relay on the switch is bad. If your carful you can take it apart and clean it too. If you use the windows a lot, just get a new one.
