You will have to take apart the connector that goes from the door to car and search for bad electrical contact between pins and sockets usually the socket. After locating the suspected bad connection you can carefully tighten the connection by squeezing the socket with a pair of needle nose pliers. The AC display will have to be replaced or repaired by resoldering all the surface mount resistors located on the pc board.

The female pins of the connector on that wire harness get deformed, causing bad contacts and isolating the door control module. In addition to that, this could also cause a loss of communication/corruption in the Serial Data Bus affecting all modules linked by it.
Check the connectors for deformed pins. If bad pins are found you would need to repair the connector, fixing the female pins so they have a positive grip, or replace it. If you want to replace the connector take a look at this post for some ideas.
If connectors are fine, then the problem should be downstream the connector up to the door control module, but considering you can make it work by wiggling the rubber accordion, most probably you have bad contacts in the connector.
