Default Fixed Door Harness - Still Having Door Control Problems

So Ive been researching the door control problems for quite a while.

First, these are my symptoms:
My driverside door control works intermittently, though these buttons work all the time:
1) The door "unlock" button
2) The driver side mirror adjust

All other buttons do not work (window control, memory seats, etc), though they do "light up."

Though when they do work (very rarely), the first thing I notice is the "easy entry" pulls my seat into position, and I am then able to use all the controls (memory, windows, door locks, etc). But later during the drive, I won't be able to again.

Ive read that people have replaced the in-door relays (though I doubt this is the problem). I already fixed the harness by placing the wire housing where it should be, and taping the area (in order to eliminate any grounding issues). My harness looked similar to this one:




Thoughts?

Swap the drivers door control module with the passenger side and see if the problem moves to the passenger side or if it stays with the drivers door. That will either rule out or confirm the door control module is your problem.

Thanks for the input

The passenger and driver modules are interchangeable? Even though they have separate controls (memory, dual window operation, etc.)?
