Default Drivers door all controls dead!!!???

I have a 2000 coupe with 37000 miles on it. Stock automatic.
Today when I got in to go to work, I could not get the window down, doors to lock, mirrors to work, memory .... nothing from the control panel on the door. I have had a compustar 2W900FMR on the vette for 2 years. It works just fine but will not lock the doors.

Thanx
Dave

Turn the switch on, hold down the power down window button and reach into the hinge area of the door and wiggle the accordion like black rubber assy. If the window starts to work, slide the rubber back and disconnect and clean and tighten the two connectors that connect the door electronics to the car. Don't take the door panel off to do this, it's in the hinge area with the door open. Post what happens.

Exactly what I was thinking. Do this first, as I spent literally months before this suggestion was made to me.

Have a good one,
Mike

Default Yipee!

I did as you suggested and now I can cancel my service appointment for Monday.

I had to give it several tugs and pushes ... but the lights lit and it works!!

This forum ROCKS!!!

Thanx,
Dave
