Default Friggin' &%#*& Window....

Anyone know how complex the wiring inside the drivers door is? I've lost ALL power on my drivers door. No window, no locks, no lights, nada. I think it's just a loose connection, because when I opened the door all the way I got the lights to light up and managed to close the window before it went dead again.

Any ideas? If not inside the door, maybe inside the rubber accordian thing between the door and frame?

G*d damn GM workmanship.

(On a good note, I just hit 30k miles on my in to work this afternoon. )

TIA

Follow the thread that Grumpy linked too, check the connections at the door control module. You may also want to remove the passenger side lower sound insulator, where the blower motor is, look over to the right you will see a black square plate attached to the body. Pop this off and inside you will find the connectors for the door wiring. These have been known to seperate just enough to do what you are describing.
