Similar electrical issues with driver's side door controls. Power locks, power window, and power mirror on driver's side are not functioning. I can manually unlock the door, but the buttons on driver's and passenger's door as well as the remote/key unlock the three other doors, but not the driver's door. all window control's on driver's door work as well, except for driver's window. Mirror controls for passenger side mirror work, but not for driver's side.

Hi Michelle , what make model an year vehicle ? On some vehicles this is function is controlled by a door module .
In order to control outside rearview mirror operations, as well as other door functions, the front door modules must be powered up. For this purpose, battery voltage is supplied from the rear fuse block, through separate circuits, to each front door module. Each front door module is separately grounded through a ground stake. The front door modules also use these power and ground supplies to drive the mirror motors, and to provide power and ground to window and lock switches and door lock actuators. In addition, the driver door module (DDM) uses these power and ground supplies to power the driver door switch assembly (DDSA) and integral mirror control switches.
Could have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes stored in BCM - body control module .
DTC B1544 01: Mirror Motors Common Circuit Short to Voltage
DTC B1544 02: Mirror Motors Common Circuit Short to Ground
DTC B1544 04: Mirror Motors Common Circuit Open Circuit
DTC B1600 01: Mirror Motor 1 (vertical) Circuit Short to Voltage
DTC B1600 02: Mirror Motor 1 (vertical) Circuit Short to Ground
DTC B1600 04: Mirror Motor 1 (vertical) Circuit Open Circuit
DTC B1605 01: Mirror Motor 2 (horizontal) Circuit Short to Voltage
DTC B1605 02: Mirror Motor 2 (horizontal) Circuit Short to Ground
DTC B1605 04: Mirror Motor 2 (horizontal) Circuit Open Circuit .
sounds like you have lost power to driver side control box sometimes the electrical connector comes loose or fuse may be blown for power windows, mirrors.
Check the electrical connections for you control switches...there should be at least two of them. Disconnect them and see if there are any recessed pins or dirt. Do this several times as there may be some oxidation on the connectors and doing this will help clean them off. The radio and door light works of the small limit switch on your door frame. Everything else works through the operators window/door lock control panel.
Power windows an locks work ok ? Do you know anything about automotive electeronic control modules ?
Power Mirror System
Power Mirror System Components
The power mirror system consists of the following components:
• Driver Door Switch (DDS)--An electronic control module with integrated switches and requires programming when replaced
• Passenger Door Switch (PDS)--An electronic control module with integrated switches, requires programming when replaced
• Power Mirror Direction Switch--Integrated into DDS and is a 4 position momentary switch that provides a signal input to the DDS for up, down, left/extend and right/retract with a mirror switch activation
• Mirror Select Switch--Integrated into DDS and is a 3 position switch that allows the operator to select the left or right mirror and also a neutral/fold position
• Left Outside Power Mirror--Contains both the vertical and horizontal mirror motors
• Right Outside Power Mirror--Contains both the vertical and horizontal mirror motors
• Body Control Module--An electronic control module that requires programming when replaced, serves as the power mode master and is the main message handler
• Memory Switch, if equipped with memory mirrors--Supplied power by the DDS and provides a voltage signal to the DDS upon a switch activation
• Horizontal and Vertical Position Sensors, if equipped with memory mirrors--Supplied a 5-volt and low reference by the DDS/PDS and provide a variable voltage signal to the DDS/PDS that is proportional to mirror position
• Powertrain Control Module (PCM), if equipped with memory mirrors--An electronic control module that requires programming when replaced and provides the message indicating transmission gear selection
• Driver Information Center (DIC), if equipped with memory mirrors--Part of the instrument cluster which is a an electronic control module that requires programming when replaced and is used to personalize the memory recall functions
• Fold Motor, in each of the outside mirrors, if equipped with power fold mirrors--Provides extend and retract movements of the mirror and is serviced as a complete mirror assembly
Each of the outside power mirrors contains 2 reversible motors to provide horizontal and vertical movement of the mirror glass. The vertical motor operates the up and down directions and the horizontal motor operates the left and right directions. If equipped with power folding mirrors, each outside power mirror will contain a reversible fold motor to operate the extend and retract functions. Each of the mirror motors are circuit breaker protected.
Do you know what DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes are ?
DTC B1023
Circuit/System Description
The driver door switch (DDS) and front passenger door switch (PDS) each contain switches that control power door lock and window functions. The DDS also contains the control switch for the power outside rear view mirrors. These switches are integrated within the door control modules and are not serviceable as separate components. The DDS and PDS monitor these switch inputs for internal faults and set B1023 00 if any are detected.
You could have any number of problems an without testing , hooking up a scanner that can check DTC'S in the door module ,electrical circuit testing etc... we'd only be guessing . Your best bet mite be to take it to a qualified repair shop.
Your chevy uses two fuses for the system. The power lock actuators are on the 15 amp fuse inside the truck. The fuse for the switches (locks and mirrors) are under the hood. For 99 to 04 (I think those are the years) there is a TSB on replacing the 3 amp fuse under the hood with a 5 amp fuse because this is a well known problem of having these blow.
Your drivers side window is a different issue. If the rest are working your problem is in the motor or getting power to the motor. The wires that go from the body to the door often crack and break with the opening and closing of the door.
