2016 Trail Premium Window Switch Inoperable

Wife's 2016 4Runner 140K miles front passenger window switch from the driver side does not work. Passenger front side does. I believe 2 months ago we had some issues with several windows from the driver side but then started working after a few seconds and didn't think much of it.
Since I have never had a single issue with this since we have owned it, I have not had to get familiar with any issues. Does this seem like the switches in the driver side door are bad?

No recent disconnect of the battery or any electrical issues. The reset function does not do anything on the driver side as well. If likely the switch, is there some place other than the dealer to go for OEM or better toyota parts? I typically don't go to part stores or Amazon for car parts unless it's an emergency.

I’d start by pulling the driver-door window switches and spraying down all the connections with DeOxit. Stuff is pretty amazing at what it does, if that’s what’s needed

Otherwise as far as I know Toyotapartsdeal.com will usually have the best prices if you need to actually replace the switches

Revisiting this thread. Did you ever find a solution?

I'm experiencing a similar issue on my 2013. My regular repair shop reinitialized it once and worked temporarily, then failed again. The other windows, rear window, and sunroof work. Pressing the driver’s switch makes no noticeable sound, and its red light is out.

red light out? might be a clue. try and get a cheap replacement from ebay from a wrecked vehicle and do a swap. that might do it. otherwise you can try and trace the wiring / test at various spots. but that's a lot of effort if you aren't familiar. whenever I've had a switch issue its always been the component itself, never my wiring
