Default Wiring Harness issues

So I had the old problem of the wires breaking in the drivers door hinge. I have replaced the drivers so wiring harness and I have regained most functions. But I am unable to roll the passenger side (front and rear) windows down from the drivers side control switch. The roll down and up with there individual switches but won't roll down with the master switch. I can roll them up with the master switch just fine but not down. Any ideas of what other problems may exist?

Switches are probably bad. The internal contacts corrode and don't make contact. Just need to buy a new switch set.

I actually did replace the switches. I didn't do it for the functions really. The buttons were badly worn so I got new ones I did get them from a wrecker though. But they look pretty much brand new

Was the "new" wiring harness out of a wreck also? Do you have a wiring diagram for the harness? Check for continuity on the affected circuits.

Ya the new wiring harness was out of a wreck. But looked to be in 100% better condition then mine. Previous owner of mine tried to repair the wires and did a hack job so it wasn't even work me repairing. But the "new" one I put it was in very good shape. Wasn't the exact same harness, I no longer have memory seat functions but I don't care about that it was more about the windows and doors locks
