Default Drivers Side Door Switch not working

I have an 02 Z06 with a failed drivers side door control. I was out at an AutoX event last week and as I was packing up and ready for the long drive home, none of the controls worked on the driver side door. Windows, seat memory, locks, mirrors, all dead.

things I checked....

-fuses 33 and 34 are fine

-connection at the door to A Pilar, under the accordion, is solid

-key fob will only unlock or lock the passenger door

-the driver side door speaker Is working fine (does this rule out a connection at the door issue?)

-no signs of water issues anywhere.

-I’m tempted to just buy a new switch panel, but wanted to check in before dropping $150.00

any other thoughts I should look into!?

have you tried shaking that wiring harness and seeing if you get a change...I have read that you get wires rubbing the insulation off and you will get a short

you can find one on Ebay for far less than $150 if it comes to that

I’ve tried to shake the wires a few times with no luck.

i have another race this weekend and I need to get this wrapped up before then. Ebay might be too slow, but I might give it a shot

Open to all suggestions!

Take the door trim off and check for power at the module.
