dead passanger door
2002 corvette C5 coupe with 120k on it...
all electronics work except for everything on the passanger door... dead electonic door lock, dead window, dead passanger mirror, nothing on the passanger door works with any of the controls incuding the key fob....
any ideas as to what causes this and how to fix it?

Pry up the small panel under the controls, the connector may have simply come off???

Open the door,,, find the rubber accordion tube beteen the door and door frame. Grab it with your fingers and feel for the TWO wireing harnesses inside it, Grab the harneses and shake the cap out of them while holding the window UP or DOWN button to move the window. See if that resoves the issue. If it does, I can tell you how to fix it.

I have a 2001 28,000 miles with the same problem. I shook the harness while holding the window down button. The problem was resloved for a short time. Pulled the door panel off and moved all the wires inside the door while holding the window button down. This time nothing happened. Went back to the harness in the accordian tube and shook it again. Everything worked again only for a short period of time. I don't think its the module inside the door. Can you help?

ok i finally got around to the passanger door today... i tried to shake the connectors while pressing the window up down/door lock buttons but nothing happend. i took the connector appart inspected both the male and female ends as well as the wires leading into them, all looks good. I put my volt meter on the connctor comeing from the car to the door and i get 12-13 volts. so if im getting power to the door why doesnt the door work at all?????? also in the picture above i see two different connectors, on the passanger door im working on i only saw one, is ther another one in there?
