Default Driver side electric window switch,door light and door lock not working.

As above for some reason the electric windows switch does not work and the interia light dont come on when door opens plus the lock wont open when using the key phobe,only works when you use the key mechanically?

Is there a fuse for all of this if there is where abouts is it?

I'm not certain I understand the problem; have you considered that it might just be a bad window switch?

Bump.

Installed radio and speakers in my Gf's car, and now the driver window, and driver power lock wont work from driver door. The lights on the switches wont even come on. The switch to open the passenger window from driver door still works though. Any suggestions?

Cool

Probably your power mirrors don't work either. It likely is the module that is attached to the driver's power window motor. The power door locks and windows run through this module. It is sold as one assembly with the motor, not separately, but you can separate it from the motor by prying back the plastic retaining tabs (I did this to save myself the hassle of changing out the window motor). The dealer sells it for about $400. I found one at a German Car salvage yard for $60. You can change it out yourself...

I was thinking it could be the module also based on all the threads ive read on the subject, but the power mirrors do work.
The only things that don't work are the are the (driver window and door lock on drivers door) the passenger window does work from driver door.

It's likely that the module is not failing all functions at once. That's just what happened to me. My pass. window worked from the driver's window switch as well.
The salvage yard that I used includes a 60-day warranty on all of their electrical components. If a salvage yard that you contact offers no warranty, it may not be worth getting a used module...
