Help: Driver Side Controls not working

Phoenixg · 10-13-2019, 11:05 AM

Hi,

A friend and I are trying to find a solution this issue:

"Window controls and mirror folding button does not work on driver’s side, passenger’s work, sunroof works, but the controls on the drivers side are dead"

Any advice? TIA.

Check continuity between the door controls and the body.

Take off your driver door panel from the inside and inspect the wiring/connectors. Probably need replacement or repair. Beyond that, replace the driver door control unit something could have burnt out.

Believe it or not, it fixed itself LOL. Thanks a lot for the advice guys, will look into the root cause of it to be preventative about future occurrences.
