When you try to lock the doors the driver side locks but the passenger side doesn't and also the same for as unlocking them and also the power windows work on the driver side but not on the passenger side. the passenger side power window button doesn't roll up or down you have to do it from the driver side.

I could give you some very complex diagnostic instructions. but I'll tell you how I do it when these cars hit my stall: first place your ear against the door latch area and press the door lock switch, if you hear anything at all, you will be needing a door lock actuator. Very very very common! Next pull back the door boot at the driver side door jamb and inspect the wires for breaks, especially the pink wire. I have attached a circuit test for this circuit to test for continuity. Other tests would need to be performed with a scan tool because the windows are controlled by the gem module.
