Just got a '93 900 Turbo Convertible. The only issue is that the windows are a huge pain to get to go up or down. Sometimes the rocker switches (all 4 windows) work and sometimes not. What should be the first thing we look at? Could it be a short in the switch or something wrong with the window motor? Again, this issue is with ALL 4 windows. Thanks so much for any help you can pass along!!

Check the driver's side wiring to the switch. Check between door and door frame for damage to the wiring. That is the switch that supplies power to the others.
