Default No contols on drivers door

All of the switches on the drivers door are inopperable. The fuses are all good, I was putting the window down and it stopped about 2 inches from going all the way down, now none of the switches including the mirrors work... Any ideas?? (02 vert)

Your going to LOVE THIS Recommendation....

Open the door. Grab the rubber accordion tube and shake the crap out of it. See if that fixes it!

The female pins in the connectors in the door A pillar are damaged.

You just TEMPORARILY fixed it.. The problem will return. To fix it, pop out the rubber tube, fish the connectors out of the chassis hole and unplug the connectors. Examine the FEMALE pins and liik for any that are deformed. You can use a metal pick and bend the toung back up to make a better connection with the male pin.
