Driver electronic door controls dont work

blankstar43 · 11-17-2011, 10:45 AM

Went to roll my window down this morning and none of the buttons on my diver door work including all 4 window controls, the mirror adjustment and folding control, the window lock button, and the rear sun shade.

Has anybody had this issue or did I accidently hit a button somewhere that could cause this? If not I believe I have a slight electrical issue in that door somewhere and will need to get it looked at.

I'm pretty sure you can't press any button to cause that... sounds like a power problem in the door.

Agreed, sounds like a driver's door wiring problem. Have you checked the front passenger and rear door window switches?

yes they worked fine. Weird though, I just went to my car for lunch and the driver door seems to be working again. I'll be keeping an eye out for it to mess up again though as I do believe this is an electrical issue that will probably show its face again before too long.

These problems don't just go away, at least not in the long term. It sounds very much like there's a wiring connection problem - get it sorted before it gets worse and whilst you still have warranty.

well the warranty isnt going anywhere anytime soon, i have less than 6k miles on the whip.. Im wondering if I may have somehow deactivated the controls somehow tho? It seems unlikely and i have never heard of such a thing, but if it happens again its going into the shop the asap
