Drivers power window switch problem 2003 maxima se

Hi guys , I’m new here , and I’ve searched and read everything I could find on this topic , my issue here is that when I depress the lock out button for window in drivers side , everything works as it should but as soon as I release that lock button all window switches are no longer functioning , no power lock , no sunroof , no power seats they all quit. If I depress again still nothing works , I have to shut ignition off , wait about 30 sec and then the cycle repeats , everything works as it should until I touch that button again ,, I’ve replaced the switch , same problem ,, please help a girl fix this , obviously fuses and relay are fine , could it be a broken wire In harness in door and does anyone have a diagram of which wires work what in that switch

Sometimes it's easier to work around a problem than it is to solve it.

Is there a reason to use the lock out button, such as children in the car? If not, don't press that button.

You can get a used switch box on ebay for around 20 dollars.

Can't say I've ever pressed that button? In fact, I'm not actually 100% certain I even have one? Anyway, hope you get it sorted.

when you say switch box are you meaning drivers side control switch ? The one with six buttons ? If so I already have tried 2 other switches , one from rock auto and one from auto wrecker ,, it’s not the main switch that the problem

Try taking apart the master switch and moving the little plastic actuators that interact with the buttons. If they arent in the correct spot when you put it back together, they can get stuck and cause the window to not work or constantly try to roll itself up/down.
