so i guess my entire electrical system is losing it. sometimes my blinkers work sometimes they dont one will stay solid and the other will flash and vice versa but now i have a more serious problem. my passenger window is stuck open my drivers side opens and closes like new. is there something i can do to close it for the time being. and can anyone help with what the long term problem may be.

Sounds like your window motor froze. Mine does the same thing every once in a while. You can do two things. Give the area where the window motor is a couple hard whacks (works for me most of the time) or take the door panel off and whack the motor itself. If neither method works just replace the motor.

Remove the switches and clean them with non-flammable brake parts cleaner or electrical contact cleaner. The lubricant will sometimes gum up the swithes so that they are intermittent or don't work.

You can remove the motor and put the window where you want it and then reinstall the motor. Be careful - the glass is heavy.
