No, it doesn't. A failed front switch can make the rear switch cease operating, so you have to be careful with your diagnosis. The small lockout switch on the console I don't think will "kill" both switches, not sure on that. I've also never seen a rear switch make the front switch fail to work that I remember.
If you can take the rear witch out and identify the 2 wires for the motor, you can jump power and ground to see if the motor is capable of operating, this is the first important test in knowing where your problem might be.
