Missing Window Lock Switch

[LJ11194]

My dad’s 02 Buick Century was missing a the window lock switch when he bought it. It was activated before being lost, apparently, since the windows can all only be controlled by the driver. Is there a way to switch it back to the unlock position without replacing it? Any way around replacing that block of switches would be great. We don’t need the lock functionality, so even bypassing it would be good enough if that can be done.

You could try and momentarily jumper the lock connector
to see if the locks activate. Here is a link for the switch
cluster which isn’t crazy expensive.Does the car have a key fob
to pop the locks?

It’s not the door locks, it’s the window lock switch that disables all window controls except the driver’s.

I’m bad misread :S here is a link to help.
The switch cluster is pretty cheap.

Thanks. We don’t really need the lock-out function so I was hoping to just bypass it completely, rather than buying a new switch cluster but that’s fine.

If you do the wire checks per the link and have the power.
you could try to bypass it. to see if it fixes the issue.
I would locate a switch cluster and replace it. This way its
fixed right and is returned to stock.instead of jumper wires.
