Default 2001 Vert Passenger Window / Passenger Door Lock

The passenger window and passenger door lock on my 2001 Vert occassionally will not engage. Thus, the window will not raise or lower and the door lock is equally non responsive. These issues occur at the same time.
I had both window motors replaced about 9 months ago. Drivers side window motor and door lock work perfectly and consistently.
Any suggestions on why this intermittent issue occurs? Also, any trouble shooting advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Check the electrical connector pins in the door jam accordion.

You may need to bend them back or try to replace. This was from my car (both doors acting up). This is very common.

If it's good check for power and ground in the connector. If that's good too move towards the driver door module.

The same thing happened to mine last year. I checked the electrical connector and sure enough two of the pins needed bent back. I did that and haven't had a problem since then.

I did bend the black wire connector back and then cleaned the entire connector with electronic CRC electronic spray. I came across that on Youtube U!

It could also be the black box in the door fired. I had that happen years ago.
