Drivers door, no power controls, HELP!!

Got back from a ride yesterday, went to roll my windows up and nothing. All the power controls on the drivers side door are dead. I could get the passenger side window up with the control on that side. I checked the fuse it was fine. I need help????

Open drivers side door and wiggle accordian that wires run through, There is a plug in connection that has a exposed wire from factory , just get some liquid tape and cover bare wire.

Rubber will pop right out of door jamb on body side, you will find a plug in there , mine had a bare wire exposed that you can put liquid electrical tape on and your good to go!

Mine did the same thing about a month ago. Fix it soon. After a week or so it started giving me "Service Traction Control and ABS" warning messages. The electrical systems on these cars are wacky. Fix the other side too - both of mine were in bad shape.

Did you try checking for any codes? You should get a code saying that the control module for the door couldn't be found.. It may be a good idea to check your grounds too.
