You most likely have a serial data bus issue. Good place to start checking is the connectors in the doors for bent pins. Grab the accordian boot between the doors and A pillars and give them a shake. If the problem comes and goes you've probably found the problem.

Go to this thread and follow the advice given by Bill Curlee. If you get things working read the trouble codes and write all of them down and then clear them. take a drive and read the codes again to see what comes back.

Here is another thread where the right door control module lost communications. This is a far less common problem than the black door connector pins but there is some good information in the thread.
