Default Dying Door

Haven't had a chance to troubleshoot yet but my driver's side door is dying intermittently. All of the controls in the door come on when I first start car and shortly afterwards, all of the controls die to include the LEDs. Once I turn the car off and on again, the door works and again shortly afterwards it dies.

Troubleshooting 101, Help.

Check the wire connectors inside the rubber accordion boot near the door hinge. They may need to be cleaned and re-connected.

Sounds like a short in the door wiring. First, I'd spray contact cleaner over the door panel electrical connection. If you have a service manual you can find which wires go where. Since all of your accessories are going out, I'd be suspect of the main power wire. If cleaning it doesn't work, PM me and I'll see if I can find what wire to look for.
