Default 07 Accord PW problem

Hello every one , new guy here with a question ..... go figure

I have an 07 Accord , an in-between EX & LX model , 4dr , 4 cyl , auto. Yesterday my power windows started having a problem. My drivers window functions fine , but the other 3 won't . From the driver dr controls with the child safety button deactivated each window will click but doesn't move. If I activate the safty button no clicks , that seems to tell me the button works but I'm puzzled why I get a click and the motors won't engage ?
Any ideas ?

It looks like moisture in master control panel is the common theme here. I had some problems w/ windows when window was left down during a light shower. I parked in my hot garage (it's hot everywhere that's not AC cooled in Houston) overnight w/ windows down, problem disappeared and has not returned. A hair dryer directed onto the panel might help also.

Check ebay for replacement master control panel if necessary.

good luck

I believe thats the cause as I leave my window cracked most of the time so between rain & snow that has melted on my armrest area I'm sure thats what caused it. However I had an 03 I traded on my 07 with 190K on the clock and exposed it to the same conditions never had an issue, must have got lucky or the 03 is protected better. Guess I'll be getting some widow visors too
I did pull the switch out , not much to clean , mostly A solid state PCB no wonder it so expensive.
I use this for switches , contacts ect

Follow up - I found a salvage switch on ebay for $50.00 installed it and I'm good to go.
