Have you checked the WINDOW LOCK button on the drivers door armrest ( just a thought ) Also , I was looking at the 1997 Ford Explorer Owner Guide and it shows that there is a 30 amp maxi fuse ( # 10 ) in the Power Distribution Box ( the P D Box is " live " ) located in the engine compartment which is for the Power Windows / Power Locks / Power Seats
it is possible on the 1995 Ford Explorer that a burned out fuse will cause the power windows to stop working. Check the power window relay in the engine compartment relay bank near the battery or the power window fuse in the fuse panel on the driver's side of the interior.
