Default electrical promblems

This is for a 01 coupe. The windows will not go down, driver mirror works but the passenger mirror does not, and the door locks will unlock but not lock. Today i was driving it and it said reduce engine power, service abs, service traction control. didnt pull the codes I erased them so I could get it home I was about 5 miles away when this happened thanks guys. Any ideas?

Always start by pulling the codes, therefore it will help you and us to solve your problems. How old is your battery and are the connections tight?

TRY this:

Clear all the DTCs. Open the drivers & passengers doors and find the rubber accordion tube that goes between the door and door frame. Turn the ignition ON. While your holding the window switch button in a position that will make the window move (up or down),, grab that accordion tube and feel for the wiring harnesses in side. Grab that harness between your fingers and shake it.

Do that on BOTH doors!!!
The two connectors inside that conduit have a bad tendency to cause that VERY issue. Been there had that!!!!

If it fixes it,, let me know,,,,,i will tell you how to resolve it.
