Two Windows Won't Come Back Up. Checked The Fuses Look Fine, Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated, Thank-you. I Rolled Three Of Them Down, One Came Back Up.

The fuses are under the hood, is that what you checked?
They work in pairs - LF and RR are on one fuse, RF and LR are on the other (So they go diagonally). If the two that won't go up are diagonally opposite, it's gotta be the fuse or the wiring. Spin all the fuses around under the hood along the firewall (just turn them 360° each) and see if the windows work.

Take out switches in center console (next to your seat) and check whether wires are connected. These are notoriously short and easily disengage over time. Easy fix. Pop switch out, push in wire connector and check whether window now works.

Try shutting the door sharply with the power to the window going "Up"

Does it click while you have the switch on or not show any life?
