Drivers door switch is not working properly. It should kill the power to the radio and other accessories that operate on RAP.

Agreed. I mis-read. Yes, should kill radio when either door is opened if I remember correctly. Its been a while ago (bought a Double-Din), so memory isnt the best

The DCM sends messages over the serial bus (OBD-2) to tell the radio to shut off, BCM for courtesy lights/security, and the other door to lock/unlock/window-up/window-down. When you use your key fob to unlock (or the auto-lock as you start driving), that is the BCM messaging the DCMs. Try both the passenger and driver's door window and lock controls, and report what works and what doesn't.
Each DCM controls the "local" resources directly (driver's buttons control driver's window and door lock) so if they work but the "remote" commands fail (opposite door control, key fob, auto-lock), inspect the rubber accordian by the door hinge for a bad/loose/shorted tan wire that prevents these messages from being communicated.
