Driver side window and lock won't work unless door is fully open!
I have 2001 c5... my driver side window and door lock only works when my door is fully open. When it's closed it won't work! Only when I open door fully does it work properly!
Any ideas?

Sounds like the wiring from the fender to the door is not connecting all the time due to frayed insulation or break in the wire. These wires are being moved around every time the door is opened. Shake the accordion between fender and door vigorously and see what happens. The wiring may have to be exposed and fixed.

^ Beat me to it... jiggle the accordion and see if they work. If they do then you're good. If they stop again, slide back the accordion, pull out the wiring harness to the plug, disconnect, clean, reconnect.
