    Troubles with electronics

    For some reason.. all of a sudden my unlock button will unlock the doors but not lock them, the passanger window cannot be rolled up by the passanger... and the master controls cannot roll up or down the back right window...

    A fuse? Wiring?

    I'd check out a problem with the lockout switch first.

      Yeah, sounds like something may have gotten spilled in the switch panel on the driver's side. Will the lock/unlock button work on the passenger side?

          I still wouldn't rule out problems with the switch, or it could be there is a relay somewhere in the system that makes this work. Honestly I'm not 10% sure. On older models, there is a window safety relay and both a lock and an unlock relay in the passenger side kickpanel. No idea where this might be on your car, or even if it still uses the relays. It might be integrated into some other system.

              Without doing some diagnosis, its hard to say. You can probably download the factory service manual for your car here:

              Should have information on the wiring for the door lock system, and how to diagnose it properly.

                  Could still be a bad switch or relay that works when it feels like it.

                      you could have multiple bad switches - what year is yours??
                      will the passenger window roll up with the master switch?
                      I was working on 90s towncar and found that the power door lock switches were the same switch as the passenger and rear window switches.
                      if this looks like it could be the same for you, Id test you drivers lock and passenger window switch with the left rear window switch (if it works all the time). That what I did and found 3 bad switches.

                      will the back right windo roll with the switch on its door? if not, it might be the motor/regulatr then. If it does, its probably the master switch
