Default Please help - electrical problems

I thought I posted this earlier but cannot find it

First, I love my 99 but I have replaced a headlight motor (other seems atarting to go), A/C blower, wiper motor, both window regulators and now the passenger window power module is out. Passenger window, lock, and mirror now do not work. Yesterday the driver's window quit working along with lock and seat does not retract automatically although morror is OK. Could this be driver's module? Any help greatly appreciated.

I went through GM Customer NO service and really thought they would help. I realize the car has lots of miles but there is no reason anyone should have this level of problems. I talked with a couple of people and the last prmosied to get back to me on a solution and now she no longer works for GM. She insisted I go in for diagnostic where she said they would strive to find the reason for all the electrical failures. GM - are you listening? I am a very unhappy camper.

Any advice on GM or these drivers side problems are appreciated.

I would check to see if either the battery is leaking and ruining the computer underneath. Or water is entering the passenger footwell and getting into the computer there. Also the alternator maybe faulty and overcharging the system. Hope that helps. Keep us posted for sure this is not good at all.
