Power Window, Door Lock Variation

Post by joeminer »

Ok everyone!

I have a variation of the power window, door lock, mirror issue that I have not seen in the forum.
It is on 2005 SLE.
Everything works normally if the driver door is open most of the way.
If door is closed or mostly closed, then passenger windows do not work (from the driver door or individually), power locks will not activate from driver door or passenger door, same for passenger mirror. Driver door components will work regardless of the driver door position.

With driver door closed, information center does not report an open passenger door. As soon as driver door is open, passenger door is reported open as normal.

Pulled driver seat to check for the corrosion issue, (seat is a bear to remove and install without dinging up paint and door panel), 2005 has wiring in plastic channel off the floorpan and area was dry and no evidence of moisture. Did not find any corrosion.

Is this a door module issue or something else? Ideas? Is there one wire that would disable everything if broken.

Thanks!

Gotta be a broken wire between the door and body.

Check the battery and all of the grounds on the car. Another one of our members had a similar issue and the battery and also the stud on the fuse box was the issue.

I would start here.
Very common and easy to get to.
Pull the boot back between the drivers door and body and look for broken wires.
