2015 FRS Windows not working (No flashing/blinking window switches)
 
I'm new to this but I had to make this post because I can't find anything online.

My windows don't roll down or up. I've tried the resetting method and it was working at first every time this occurred but last night it seemed to finally give up completely. At first the lights would blink/flash but last night turned off completely so i cant do the reset method anymore. In the beginning it was only the driver side door switches that didn't roll down either window and my passenger switch worked for the passenger window but this morning it also stopped working. When I open and close the driver door the window doesn't do the auto slightly open thing it normally does but my passenger door still does. Also my unlock/lock door button on my driver side stopped working but it works on my passenger door. I check the fuses and they both looked fine. I ordered a driver side window switch but that's when I noticed the passenger side wasn't working either. I don't know if they both don't work because of the driver side switch. The only things that work are the side mirrors knob and the passenger lock and unlock button. I was wondering if there's some wiring that has to do with this under my dash by my feet and if so, where do I look?

Welcome to our gang, there Velocsity - :clap:

Have you checked both fuses?

(#10 and # 14) (at least on my 2013)

Do you have a multimeter to go hunting with?

Come back.

I'll ring up ol @soundman98 for you, he is pretty good with electrical stuff.

Yeah I have one. I also checked both. They looked fine but I still replaced them with new ones. The main thing that is odd to me is that both window switches don't work. Like they both decided to go out around the same time.

I know this is basic and not trying to insult intelligence but have you checked that the window lock button wasn't pushed?

Yeah it's not pushed. I've pushed it in and out just to see if it would miraculously fix.

Was worth asking. We have seen that issue many many times!
Does sound like a connection issue but I believe all the connectors are inside the door.

I'm just waiting on the window switch to arrive to see if it's that. Hopefully nothing more.

how old is your battery?

otherwise, it really sounds like a connection issue within the door. first to check is the connector behind that panel is slightly loose(unplug it and plug it back in to re-seat it). there's also a connector just inside the car in each kick panel for the entire door wiring harness that could've also worked loose.

otherwise, a replacement window/lock switch assembly is the next best thing to replace. there's nothing serviceable about them.
