2005 NBC Driver Door Lock and Mirror

Hi, power door lock on driver's side does not work, yet the button on the driver's door will lock/unlock the passenger door. Also, the joystick will control the passenger mirror, but not the driver's. Any thoughts?

Yes, I had the same issue with my '99 a few years ago. There is a (rectangular) control modulator attached to the window motor on the driver's side. The assembly is sold as one piece but you can pry off a couple of plastic tabs, remove the electrical connector and just pull off the modulator without fussing with the motor. The entire assembly at the dealer costs over $400 (five years ago) but cost me only $65 at my local German car salvage yard (PartsPlanet). They warranteed the part for 6 mos. and I've had no problem with it since...
