Hey guys, I tried to do a search on this problem and came up empty. This morning when I got in to my '03 vert, the first thing I noticed was my seat didn't automatically adjust like it normally does. (Hmmm, that's odd) so I moved it up manually, but then when I put it in drive to leave, I noticed the driver's side door did not lock. I pushed the lock button, nothing. I pushed the memory button, nothing. tried to roll down the windows, NOTHING! (Oh crap, problem) So I pulled over to put the top down, I pushed the deck lid release button, but only the passenger side window came down.
It's like the driver's door panel is dead, no lights, doesn't respond to the fob, nothing! Anybody have this problem before? I was on my way to work, so I didn't have time to pull the codes, so I'll do it this evening. Any ideas?
Check the connection in the accordion tube the runs from the door to the front fender. Sometimes that connection can become loose and cause your problem.
No courtesy lights on the door, nothing working on the driver side is your connection inside previously stated accordion tube. Happened with mine and it took a pick to get at the smallest bit of corrosion on the female end.
Hope this helps !!

Thanks for the suggestion guys! Sorry for the late reply, work was crazy and I'm just getting home. I'll pull the codes and check the accordion right after dinner. I was hoping it was just a fuse. Just my luck.
The last thing I did was pull back the accordion sleeve and there was an orange wire. I wiggled it a little and VOILA! The panel lit up! I tested the window and slammed the door a couple of times and it didn't fail again. Now watch, it won't fail again until I'm caught out with the top down and a rainstorm just minutes away!
Thanks guys, I'm going to go look up these codes real quick!
