Q: All four windows won't roll up or down
Intermittently, all four windows in my explorer will not roll up or down from ANY of the door panels. I can be driving for hours with all four of my windows rolled down and when I get back to my house none of them will roll up. A few hours later I can go back outside and my windows will roll up fine, then they'll do what they're supposed to for several days and then out of the blue they act up again. I checked the fuse and the fuse is not blown. I tried rolling all four windows up or down from their respective door and nothing. When I try to roll my windows up/down I don't even hear the window motor whining or making any sort of noise.
