I only have one working window - front passenger. The driver window works randomly and the rear windows do not work at all.

What is involved in correcting this problem?

My turn signals stopped auto shut-off. They work but I have to turn them off manually.

How can this be resolved?

It sounds like the main window switch has gone bad but to be sure here is two guides to help you confirm the issue. Can you check for power and the dark green wire going into the switch?

Here is the window wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:
