Hello,

It sounds like there is a possible short circuit either on the supply wire from the fuse to the door module or a possible short inside the door module.

See diagram below, the 10A fuse, driver door MOD fuse, supplies constant 12V to the driver's side door module (located in door), on a red/white wire at pin A12. The fuse is located in the left rear fuse block.

Suggest to first check the wiring in the door shut, in between driver's side A-pillar and door. Ensure that the wiring is not damaged. If ok next unplug the door module inside the driver/s door. To do that you will need to remove the door trim so that you can access the control module.
