The window switches on every door except the driver's door don't work at all, and in addition to that the passenger side lock switch only unlocks, it doesn't lock. I took off the door panel yesterday just to make sure it wasn't something stupid like the wires being disconnected and it wasn't, does this mean that I just need to replace the switches on all the doors?

Is the window lock switch pressed?

No it is not, the switches have been intermittent at best for a while now and I figure its about time to fix em.

Could be just a bad switch. I would try buying a new master switch board to start.

Before you buy a new switch try cleaning the old master switch. The connections get a black build up on them and then they stop responding. I put up a thread about how I did it a while back, let me see if i can find it for you.

I had this issue on another vehicle once, turned out to be a bad lockout switch on the drivers panel. I took it apart and cleaned it and all better after that. Use some good troubleshooting before wasting money on new switches that you don't need.
