electrical gremlin...need help

so my two front windows has stopped working, and it wasn't like they started "struggling or slowing down" they just stopped. both outside rear view mirrors similarly stopped working. then both front passenger seats just stopped working. this was all over the last 2 days....but not all at once....i have taken off the switch console that contains the buttons to make sure the connection was tight already.

what should i do next? i really don't need to pay someone for electrical diag for a simple relay of some sort.

newish pic of the whip at funcours for laughs

I assume that they do not work whether the car is running or not. If this is the case have you checked for any current (with a multimeter) when you depress the switch(es) both with the car running and not?

Multimeter

You would have to check on the bottom side of the switch itself, there should be a positive and negative post or leads with wires attached to them.
