Grounding wouldn't be my first path to repair, not with all 4 doors inoperative. Sounds more like a fuse or relay. There are power window relays under the hood, above drivers fender in a panel.Tech should have spotted it right away. If you have a voltmeter and a Chiltons manual for the wiring diagram, you just have to start chasing voltage...I'd start with the drivers door panel. Remember to have your ignition switch in ACC before you start...work your way backwards towards the battery (relays, fuses, junctions, etc) until you hit power... tedious and frustrating work.
Check under dash for power control module there is a relay for windows there
HAVING same problem, not solved yet. it would be nice of ford to label the fuses. all my windows and sunroof stuck after opening. great for winter, now i cant drive it. i checked the door boot but all wires appear ok.
Where are.the fuse box
I had the same problem Turns out a common failure on explorers is the ground wire in the door jamb harness boot breaks. I would check there
