The power seats do work with the doors closed, but, every once in a while they stop for a day. I also notice the door ajar message does not go on when the passenger door is opened. It does work on the drivers door.
Could this be a ground issue?

Sounds like a loose connection somewhere doesn't it? I'd swap the circuit breakers just to see if that could be related, but then I'd probably get an electrical guy to help.
I have a shop manual and found nothing useful relating to the wiring. Another forum member pointed me to the wiring under the seat - possibly being stripped and rubbing the seat rails as a short. That can't be what you have but it's where some of that wiring is. Good luck.

Thanks for the insight. Yesterday it rained and the power seats stopped working. I suspect the wet weather has something to do with the seats not working. I took the passenger side door panel off and found some corrosion in a harness. I need to investigate to see if the door lock problem is connected to this also. When I have time I will go through the wire diagrams and see if I can figure it out.
