You need to check for power and ground to the window motor to see if the master switch is working.

Same with the door lock. Look for poer to the acuator

If the wires have power then the motor has failed as well as the acuator

So apparently the truck was parked for 5 years and everything with the windows was working when it was parked. Now if the switch is gone will it not relay power to the motor?
