I had a similar problem where all of the sudden, I lost all control of the operations of the door all at once. There is a connector in the boot of the door hinge. (I think I took a picture of this. If I can find it, I'll post it). It is a real pain to reach, but I was able to get to mine and I cleaned it with some electronic component cleaner. I then added DI grease to prevent future corrosion. After that, everything started working again. The only other thing I know to check before tearing the door panel is to check the fuses.
If you have exhausted these, bakersfield did an exceptional write-up on do-it-yourself repair of the DCM (door control module) due to faulty relays.

Following up with my previous thread directly above, here is the picture I promised...
All I can say is this is one major pain to reach, and even a greater pain to pry apart, but better me than the $tealer$hip!! If anyone knows the magical procedure to pry these apart, please chime in.
