    Was driving home today and opened windows halfway. Got home and they wont close!

    Individual door window switches dont work either.

    Driver window switches for all windows dont work, and the driver door lock button doesn’t work, passenger door lock button still works but not window. None of the individual window buttons work either.

    Driver mirror movement buttons still work tho. Child window lock is not pressed. (Maybe that button is what broke?)

    Is this a fuse? Seemed strange that all windows wont work and that driver locking button also wont work. Is the wire connecting the driver window controls and lock control connected? Maybe its loose?

    Figured I would ask before I take the door panel apart.

    Appreciate any help! I have owned my Gen 2 for a long time and am happy to have finally joined the forum :)

    Junk/scrap yard replacement. Get both console and harness; since it looks like it melted the connector on both ends.

    If the harness is just a small one within the door, yes, getting that harness at a salvage yard and replacing it is easy.

    If that connector is on some harder-to-replace harness (say, comes through into the door from the body, I have not checked this in the wiring diagram), then buying a repair terminal for that one position would be another solid option.

    It appears that connector is part of a rather big harness that would involve connectors under the instrument panel and other connectors in the door.

    While the harness is easily available, I would be more likely to buy a switch assembly and replace the one mating connector on the harness.

    Yep; splice it in; if the harness replacement is too much work.
    You can repin that single wire position in that harness, but I don't know if you have the skill level or fine tools to do that repair. It's delicate work, especially since that connector heated up and the plastic is likely very brittle now.
