I have a 2001 Chevy Express 3500 15 passenger van. A few months ago the power windows started going out, as in the would not work but if I opened the driver door just right it would work. Now they have stopped working, when I press the switch nothing. If I open one door the Interior Light control Module clicks under the dash(found what was clicking) If I open both doors the windows WORK normally but only if both front doors are open. Sounds like a short to ground or bad switch somewhere in one of the doors but not sure. Oh and if when I open one door I try the switch, the module clicks and the interior lights go out while I have the button pressed. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

The usual source for the window problem is the wiring between the inside front door and the kick panel where the wires run in a harness and are usually rubber booted. Everytime the door opens and closes the wires are bent back and forth and they break.
