have checked the circuit breaker in the passenger side fuse panel, which was hot to the touch when taken out. breaker is good. check power to the switch panel on drivers door and one of the back passenger door, both getting power. this happened before and was fixed by disconnecting the main window lock switch. please help

The windows and locks work from different power supplies so first test all the fuses and if OK, test the master switch thoroughly.

No, you haven't because if you had tested the switch properly with a test light and a wiring diagram, you would now know what part of the circuit is missing.
