is this for all windows or just the driver? have you tried their separate window switches? could be an intermittent failure of the master driver switch

The master driver window switch has been replaced. It did not help the problem. This applies to all of the windows, this includes the rear wing windows which works on a separate switch located over head.

seems like there is an intermittent wiring issue somewhere. follow the diagnostic steps below and it should lead to the correct cause of the problem. let me know how it goes and if you need any help with testing something.
