Door Microswitches

I've read various posts on this topic and this tutorial but I'm still not clear on which item to look at first. 

 

 

Current situation is no beep when locked by keyfob and double beep when unlocked.  Locking & unlocking from the key cylinder seems to be have normally (one time unlocking set off the alarm but that was not consistent behavior).  Opening from the outer passenger handle there is no window drop down.  Opening from inner passenger handle there is no window drop down.  This is the first time in a year that I've had consistent symptoms,  previously it would happen sporadically but when I sit down to try different combinations it would start working again preventing me from further diagnosing.
