It comes apart under the dash. The door wiring runs from under the dash through a rubber boot to each door then the electrical connections are made at each of the door sensors. The rubber boot between the door and body is to keep the wirining harness dry, free of corrosion, and getting pinched between the door and the frame.

I have a 2007 GMC Acadia and out of no where the power lock and power window quit working just on the front passenger door. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Everything you mention is in the same door. Look for a connector between the body and the actuators in the door. This may be accessible or just inside the door itself, past a rubber grommet. Pull the connector apart and inspect it. Spray with silicon or WD40 and reassemble.

1997 buick lesabre new fuel pump changed fuse new battery. When try to crank car wont start and windows not working

There is a ground junction under the carpet just inside the driver's door. Pull the trim panel at the bottom of the door jam and pull the carpet back. There is a black plastic connector with several black wires going into it and bolted to the body. This connector get corroded over time and many circuits lose ground. Simply take that connector apart and clean it, or cut the wires off individually and install new ring terminals and install back on the body.
Happens all the time!

Every time i open my door after i turn off the car or when somebody gets down when he closes he always got electric grounded on the metal parts of the door and my lights are always busted. my tail lights...

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you tighten the ground battery connector of the car. If the ground connector is secured and the problem still persists, please add another body ground. For example, putting an electrical cable from any part of the engine to the body. This is one example of body ground.

Hope you find this information helpful enough and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Driver side window fell into door, took apart and the plastic brackets broke off window. What do we need to buy to fix this? Do we have to buy the whole motor assembly or can we just buy the plastic...

It is nearly 10 years old. While it is apart get a new regulator from a parts store or ebay so you are not taking it back apart next year. Those connectors can be had at stores which sell paint and body supplies for cars, and at auto glass shops. I would pay the glass shop to remove and replace the regulator and put the door back together.

Electric windows won't work on my 1967 cadillac fleetwood limo if i hit the emergency button the passenger can open the window if they stop the emergency button has to be pushed again

That is either bad contacts inside of the master window switch on the driver side door, and you can actually take apart those old switches and clean up the contacts with an emery board type finger nail file, or the problem will most likely be a broken wire(s) inside of the weather boot that runs between the driver side door and the body of the vehicle. Try turning the ignition to the "Run" position and then move the weather boot between the door and the body of the vehicle around while at the same time holding a window switch down in the direction that you want the window to move, and if the window does work while moving around the weather boot then there is a damaged wire(s) that will need to be repaired, and any wires that you find broken should be soldered back together and do not use wire connectors to repair the wires. (However, if the wires are too far apart inside of the weather boot then this test will not show any results) and if there is no damage to the wires at the wire connector to the master window switch, then the wires leading from the master window switch out through the door and the weather boot will have to be inspected thoroughly for any damaged wires.

The power windows are not working at all. Tried the fuses.

ok,make sure you tried all the windows on all the door switches,,,,what i think you may find is broken wires,sounds like it,,,,,when you open the drviers side door,look in the crack where the body of the car meets the door and you will see a black wire harness,you are going to carefully cut open that harness loom with a sharp razor knife,Be careful not to cut yourself and not to cut into the wires inside the loom,,,once you got it cut open you will need to inspect the wires inside,,they get dry and brittle from all the opening and closing of the door and the wires chaff open and short and some even break apart,,ive seen 6 broken wires in 1 ion door jam,,,,all the wires for all the windos run thru here because of the master switch being in that door...,,if oyu do find broken ones go get the pinkish red **** connector,make sure they are heatshrink connectors so they are weather proof,fix all the wires and heat the connector up to shrink it tight then electrical tape over each connector seperately,then put loom back on and electrical tape the complete loom from door to body,,,,,and all should work...ive never seen a bad windows switch knock out all 4 windows so i doubt its that,,,but good luck,hopefully this helps you
