My power windows and lock stopped working on the driver side and the power windows on passenger side/back stopped as well. What’s weird is they would sometimes work if I pressed them enough times or usually right when I turned the car on. I assumed it was a battery issue but when researching I see a lot of people saying it’s a wire issue most likely. I live in the desert and it’s extremely hot/batteries die a lot and I haven’t had mine replaced in a while. I didn’t seem to have the same issue as everyone else though since they didn’t fully break. Now they are broken and don’t work at all however.Has anyone encountered what I have? ---

Hold the switches and then slowly open/close the door. If the window/lock work while doing this, there’s broken wires between the door and body. They usually break in the rubber conduit between the door and body. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/2/b/2b4955dcba2b889795bd26f7b1ad6746317048f3.jpeg) Tester ---

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try it out in a bit
