1995 e320 Question on Powered Windows

When I first got my car, I had assumed that my rear passenger (right) window was broken because neither the console nor door switch would work. I assumed it was the motor, which seemed like a legit assumption as this happened on my 190e.

However I recently discovered not only could my car roll up all the windows via the key, but roll them all down including what I thought was the 'broken' window.

I have a 1994 e320 sedan. The fuses have been checked and are fine. Does this sound like an issue with wiring, or the switches? It seems too coincidental to think both switches would be broken, unless one is reliant on the other like Christmas lights.

Thank you in advance for any insight that could be given.

The window convenience system is electronically complicated and challenging for a DIY without diagnostic tools, therefore get a scan which will quickly determine the fault. However if you are on hard times and can't afford a scan---live with the issue!!

I've got the blinking decoder thing, so I'll have to get off my *** and see if that gives me anything useful. It never occurred to me that the car would be able to specifically outline anything regarding this.
