I have been searching the web for over a week and have yet to find information on a 2006 C6 Drivers door module. I was told by a dealership who messed up the car that is the part I need. "Installed new ECM and programmed. key fob could not be read to turn ignition on. needs drivers door module replaced." The web is full of C5 ones and I find folks taking it out and doing electronic work on it that is way beyond my capabilities. I would like to know what the part number is and where to get one. Thanks. Aaron
Don’t know what the dealership messed up on your car but if they diagnosed the driver door module as being the reason the FOB isn’t allowing the car to start better find another dealership to diagnose whatever issue you’re having…the DDM isn’t involved in that.

I have no idea what issues you had with your car that you took it to a dealership ??...a no crank no start ??…I really have no information to help with the info you posted…all you had asked for is a DDM part number.

I agree. Searching dealers parts department websites, show no such thing named "driver door module"..
Either go to another dealer or define the problem in different terms.

The Driver Door Module (DDM) is sold as part of the window regulator assembly. The part number is 22895755. Although it doesn't sound like this is the source of your problem as described.
I drove the car one day and had the window partially down when parking it. Went out the next day and no start. Trailered it to dealership and this is what is written on the service sheet - "car came in with no start or communication with ECM, body or drivers door module. installed new ECM and programmed. key fob could not be read to turn ignition on. needs drivers door module replaced." That is all the info I have. They wanted $400 for new module.

You can either...A- accept the dealers diagnosis and get yourself a DDM somewhere or B- take the car somewhere else that knows how to diagnose your Communication issue...HINT- it's not another dealership or independent repair shop or a Corvette specialist...like we mentioned the DDM isn't involved in your key FOB and your ignition system.
I really appreciate all the information and help. Unfortunately, I still need a DDM as the window will not go up and I have unplugged it cleaned the contacts with air and a paint brush and still not operational. Aaron

Let's back up.
What service was actually performed by the dealer? Did they install a new Engine Control Module? How much were you charged?
It sounds like you're in possession of the car. Did you trailer it back home, non-op? Or are you saying that the dealer got the car running?
If you're opening doors and testing windows, it sounds like the fob is being recognized.
Which contacts are you cleaning? Is the door panel removed?

Answer = I do not know what actual service they performed. The ECM they purchased was laying on the passenger seat. (my ECM was nowhere to be found) They tried to charge me $1400 and I refused as the car was not operational and damaged (with the window down and not covered rain got into the vehicle so much the door compartment was filled, and something hit the front bumper passenger side.) I'm not going to go into the rest of the story.

Answer = Trailed the car back home in-op.
If you're opening doors and testing windows, it sounds like the fob is being recognized.
Answer = car has been in-op since getting it home.
Which contacts are you cleaning? Is the door panel removed?
Answer = I blew air onto the DDM connector plug and wire plug. The door panel is removed.
UPDATE = I friend of mine called "a guy" who happens to have spent his career working on the C6. He has the computers, programs etc. to get her back on the road. (BTW He echoed what everyone here has mentioned) I can't express how much all of your help is appreciated!! You can see the ECM sitting in the passenger seat. Something white hit the bumper. That is the amount of water that entered the car.

You can't run the windows without putting the car in accessory mode. If it's in accessory mode, the fob is being recognized.
The car isn't going to start with the ECM sitting on the passenger seat, of course.
I hope your friend's friend gets it straightened out. Good luck.
Well, the guy came over and I think he figured out what is wrong with it and offered to trade me his running car for the vette and I declined, He has gone into the wind.... The ECM fuse(15a) was blown, put in another one and it immediately blew. I unplugged the ECM put in another fuse and it stayed good. I checked out the ECM connector wires and they all look good. Took the plastic covers off of the ECM connecter wire contacts and they all look good as well none of them are touching each other to short out (
See photo). Am I at the point of a new ECM, take apart the ECM to check for internal damage or is it a still a wire issue that I have to run down?
Doing some more research I think I found the issue. According to GM Parts Direct & Flagship One and various others the ECM is NOT for my corvette it is a E78 GM (12692201) and I need a E38 GM (12597121). Heading to the dealership later today...... E78 E78 E38

New ECM installed and she is up and running, rough, but running. The fan won't come on, but I am reading about that. Here is the mystery I have is figuring out where this rubber flap goes. It has been so long apart I do not remember where or how it goes in the battery area.
