It may be old parts. They get sticky and rusty sitting there and one day usually the windows go down and not up again. Sometimes if all break at once like 3 at once, like in the same day or so, I would say something else is wrong, but you have a 2006.... I have a 2005 with 130K miles from brand new and have to replace all my switches and arms. I do live at the ocean and this all broke there. faster in the rust issues here, just like bicycles in the outdoor carports do here also, unless you bring them inside. Power windows are tricky because the electrical has to be so perfect, and the relay switches seem to be a major short life span issue, and the arms and motor move a heavy load and everything has to be greased well enough for all those years. Without enough juice and well greased components, due to bad electrical connection and age, everything goes sticky, stuck, click, gone. Lot's of people just replace the switches first and the windows work, but these switches are carrying a dirty old load in the window motors.
Electrical Contact Cleaner may work miracles at times AND Be-aware of thieves destroying electric windows and power door locks in odd ways when they do things to get in. I wanted roll down windows and people said I can't have it but I tossed out the inside door panels and you can vinyl ratchet straps from Home Depot......I already bought about several power door replacement arms and the companies put pictures up of good best known brands and send you something else that doesn't have the quality. So don't do it without time to fight just in case...and the company gladly replaced my part with another brand and still it wasn't the quality as the one advertized and broke quickly. I'm happy with my rolldown-ratched down the window by hand changes.

Check the window lock switch on the driver door to make sure that it is not engaged or malfunctioning. The computer controls the window operation by supplying a ground to the window motor when a switch is activated, which is why you found power going to the windows. Is your vehicle still under warranty? Your dealer might be the best source for a solution.
