Unusual Window & Lock problem
)'02 Z06
I have searched for hours over the past few months hoping to stumble across a fix, and I'm finally throwing my hands up. Please help!
I originally had the "Reduced power, everything goes nuts because of the door wires in the accordion" issue. I definitely had that problem.
I found a female contact in the driver side accordion that was fatigued/bent, and I was unable to easily bend it back into a good position, so I opted to bend the male side down to make a better connection.
...I didn't have anything handy, so I was an idiot and used a key to bend the male contact. As anyone could predict, I slipped and arced a contact.
**Sparks flew, and my Driver door no longer has power lock or window. The control panel lights up, works, controls the seat, mirrors, and right door completely. It's just as if the left door does not have power (driver mirror does have power/functions).
I checked fuses, re-checked the connections in the accordion, and finally surrendered to breaking my door panels off to swap the DCMs left to right.
The LDCM drove the right, and the right did NOT drive the left (the problem stayed with the door and did not follow the DCM. So that leaves me to believe that both DCMs are good.
What else is there?
Thanks in advance
