Driver Door window/lock/mirrors memory controls inop
Everything electronic on the drivers door is not working. Power mirrors, locks and window controls are not working. I can however get the door open using the button. The windows still operates when opening and closing the door. Passenger window and door locks work fine it's just the driver side.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

It appears that it could be the connector for the driver door, has either come loose or undone or a wire bad. The fuse that controls the driver functions (windows, locks, etc.) also sends power to the passenger side.
I can send you the electrical schematics if you want to look at them.
PM me your e-mail and I'll send them to you.

Update - I disconnected the battery yesterday and the window breakers for the mirrors and windows. The driver window went down 2 inches from closed bummer now that its down a bit. So there is power to window motor it's just all controls don't work on the door panel.
I removed the door panel yesterday as well the only corrosion i found was to the large speaker in the door. I'm thinking the door panel controls might be bad. Anyone have any idea on what two wires i can jump across on the door panel connector to get the window up and down?

Try re-indexing your windows. That may solve your issues.
After a power reconnect such as battery replacement, the
window index-up feature will not function until the system
is initialized. Once power is restored, do the following:
ignition switch in aux mode:
1. Close the door.
2. Raise the window by pulling up the switch.
3. Hold the up switch for three seconds after the
window is closed. Release the switch.
4. Hold the up switch again for three seconds and release.
The electrical schematics are on their way.
Good Luck

Door panel installed again... no go on the indexing failed at step 2 raise the window.
Thanks for the info I will look at schematics i'm certain the amount of wires going into the door panel are not going to allow me to jump the window. My other concern is the power door locks and memory buttons. Neither of which work so I'm sure the window switch itself is just fine.
I also wiggled wires while the door panel was off with the panel connected to see if maybe a short someplace still nothing on windows working on driver side. Passenger side still works.

FIXED! Huge THANK YOU to DJBRUN here on the forum. With his help I was able to fix this turned out to be the Window Control Module which is in the driver window control switch in the drivers armrest.
Cheers!

So by just switching out the window switch you fixed the memory buttons and the door lock button.? I have the same problem you described just making sure before I buy the switch

Robert,
it's not just a window switch, it has a small logic module in it as well.

Just wanna second this fix. I couldn't figure out what the car was trying to say was wrong.
The security light was on while driving, driver window, door unlock, mirrors all non-functional only on driver side.
The key fob was unresponsive intermittently.
Opening the doors manually would immobilize the car until I do a battery reset.
I tried to jump the wires on the switch to get the window up with no luck.
Checked a few body grounds.
For a temporary fix to get the window up I wound up disassembling the window motor and pulling the window up, then reinstalling the motor to hold it.
Put a new switch in and its back to normal.
Windows down a few times in the rain was probably the cause, a decent amount of corrosion on the board in the switch. The water runs right off the molding and directly onto the switch.

hey, just wondering if there is any video on this? I suck at learning through words so I have to see this to know what I’m doing. Currently sitting in my car with no function on the driver side door.

I do not have a video, I can show you the different functions via the schematics and explain the common denominator within these circuits on what to test. I think someone had posted a video on replacing the window switch/module, it’s not difficult.
