Window module? Electrical Problems,,,, please help
I have a 99 couple with 80,000 miles. I know this is a lot but I am having lots of electrical problems with this car.
I have replaced headlight motor, wiper motor, A/C blower motor, two window regulators not to mention the steering column lock issues. Do I have a total lemon? Now the passenger's side window module is out. This controls the RH mirror, door locks as well as window. None of them work. Yesterday, the driver's window would not work, nor will the locks. Mirror is OK. The seat does not "retract" when I remove the key although I can still manually move it. Could this be the driver's window module? Any other ideas greatly appreciated.
After promising to help, GM balked after insisting I pay a "diagnostic fee". They said they would look to see why I was having all these electrical problems. Somehow that was lost in the shuffle and all I was told was how much the module would be. I love this car but all these problems are driving me bananas. GM are you listening?
Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice.

door control module is a common problem.. Not sure of your warranty status, but part of the warranty includes diagnosis. It's just a way to get some extra money.
These problems do happen and with more safisticated computer modules and the realative rough ride of a C5, some of these issues pop up regularly on the forum.. This is why the forum is such a good resource,.
