Angry Window / Power locks not working

Ok so randomly on the driver console only controls driver side window up and down and power mirrors for both sides.
it does not control windows on any of the other 3 windows. also does not control the locks. none of the other door consoles control windows/locks.
I know it isn't the motor in locks and windows because Sporadically it will work normally.
Also if i use the key fob i can lock and unlock door or if i hold down the button the windows will all roll down but then not go back up until it decides to work again. lol has anyone ever run into this type of problem?
PLEASE help before i light a match and burn this car lol banghead:

So window and lock controls work okay from the other door panels? Also, just for giggles, when you use the fob to roll down the windows, can you use the key in the driver's door to roll them back up? Just trying to get further troubleshooting information. Also, the FSM might shed some light as well

Hmmm...that sounds like it might be the window lockout switch is engaged and/or having a problem.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the other door controls were in series from the driver's door.

Also, in Infiniti's infinite wisdom, they only let you lower the windows with the fob. You have to insert the actual key in to the driver's door and turn to lock and hold to roll them up.

i was thinking the window lockout was faulty as well but the door locks dont work either only way to unlock or lock door is with key fob.
and update
now the drivers window is acting up i had to let it sit for 20 min just to wind up my window lol..
if the drivers master switch thing is going bad will it cause other switches not to work?

Also cant wind down windows with fob or up with the key

Check out the FSM link. There may be something there to point to a controller or something like that that could be the culprit.

Have you ever had the driver's door panel off? I would look at the connectors beneath that control panel on your armrest to make sure they're properly seated. Without looking it up, I seem to remember all power for the window circuits passes through that little panel. There may even be a tiny black box located there.

What year and model?

That may do it. If you want to study up check right here:
Index of /FSM/G37/Sedan/2012
DLK.pdf is for your locks
PWC.pdf is power windows
etc...

Window / Power locks not working

I am having the exact same problem on my 08 coupe. The master switch will control everything perfectly, but will not roll down or up the passenger side window. I took it to Infiniti and that's exactly what they told me. The master switch window lockout is malfunctioning. They tried to charge me 799 for a new switch, so I just went on eBay and ordered one. I'm waiting on it now.

It really is insane! The switch cost 339 dollars at Infiniti, there is no way labor is 460 dollars. It takes me less than 10 minutes to get the door panel off so I'm sure they can get it off much quicker than that. I love my car, but the Infiniti dealership is just a rip off.

you dont even have to take the door panel off lol,
just pop up that piece that surrounds the switch with a Flathead and that's it , literally a 3 minute job.

With that being said, yes, it is completely a rip off!
