The driver window switch station will only operate the left rear window; it will not operate the other three.

Any suggestions on correcting, troubleshooting, or repairing this is appreciated.

To be maybe too obvious ... you might have a bad master switch.
I know I had one in my 2003 Expy. Had to put a new one in.

Yep /\. New switch fixed my issues. Driver's window would be problematic to go up. Other windows fine. The switch is an easy replacement.

And a Master switch for the win. $52 up here for an aftermarket one with “lifetime” warranty. Took longer to go get it than it took to replace. Some snow in Alaska today. Thanks

There's a diy fix for that somewhere that makes it work good as new.

Thanks, I have already removed & replaced the switch.The old switch has gone out with the trash. Too old and hands shake to much for fine detailed bench work. Thanks for responding.

My 2002 EB 1st Gen wiring harness is so tight from the factory that just working the window for more than a decade will loosen the connection over time. Removing the panel and reseating the connection at that harness every 15 years (LOL) did it for me. But the only symptom is the directional switch on passenger side mirror stops working.

On those wire harnesses working loose, I wonder if a guy could cinch them up with a small cable/zip tie or two...

My passenger mirror connection had become unplugged. That is all it was for the mirror. Was a bad switch for the driver window switch station.

True, those mirror switches might last 18 years, but they don't last forever. Had to replace my Excursion's after that length of time back in March. Went aftermarket for $11.29, inclusive of tax and shipping.
