The rear hatch release, elec door locks, power mirrors and power windows are not operating. Also the alarm does not chirp when locking the door. The #6, 11, and 38 fuses all look fine.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Check the door main wiring connector. Also, double check your fuses. The ones you listed don't relate to the circuits mentioned.

Fuse 14 solved all the problems except opening the rear hatch.

Where does one find a "door main wiring connector" ?

There should be a rubberized boot between the door and the frame. The main connector for all the wiring in the door is there.
