The windows do not work on any doors. The driver side door will not lock when you hit the door lock button on the key. It appears the computer thinks the driver side door is stuck open because when it is opened the dome light does not go on, only when one of the other doors is opened. I beleieve it is a switch somewhere but I checked the fuses on the fuse panel in the cab and under the hood and they all looked ok. Any Suggestions.

Check the wire harness between the body and the driver's door for broken wires.

I checked the harness it looks ok I am pretty sure it is the latch, I will probably have to order a new one. Any suggestions where I could find one. I checked ebay and they have them for older models but not so much newer models and they run $70 +.

You could check with your local salvage yard, or you may have to buy new.
