Default dead passenger door!!

My passenger door has no power.
Everything else is good.
.......no power windows, no door locks, no power mirror.
I checked the floorboard fuse box and the power fuses #30/31 are fine.
Is it a relay or a module fail?
I am just starting to look and I dont know if a scan will pick it up.
Maybe a bad ground.............
Any thoughts????
Thanks
LOU

With the door open, wiggle the rubber accordion between the body and door. I bet the black plastic connector inside has spread terminals. It's common.

Thanks to all for your suggestions.
I wiggled the rubber accordion between the body and door as suggested and it worked.
Now i will remove the suspect area and see what the issue is.
Mega thanks

The connectors have pin and socket contacts, many have just bent the sockets with a small flat blade screw driver to restore the electrical connection.

The terminals in the connector probably look like this. The blue connector isn't usually a problem and is for speakers only. You can bend these terminals back, crimp on new ones or just delete the connector.
