Both power windows on driver side stopped working. Both passenger windows work, with their door panel control. The drivers main controls also are able to roll them up and down. Also, my power side view mirrors do not work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Have you tried removing the door switches and swapping the switches (for the back door) and see if that helps? Also, best to test for power at the mirror, if that is okay the mirror will be faulty if no power. Check the loom through the door opening, you often get broken wires there.

Thank you I will try that. The only thing I have done so far is change the 30 amp fuse due to me not knowing how to check the fuse to see if it was good or not. Now I have a meter and test light. I will try what you said to do and let you know how it goes. Thank you for your help and your time.

You're a genius. I started with the loom through the front door, and found a couple of wires that we're broke, also a couple not making good connection. Thank you so much for your help. I automatically at first thought it was the motor. I'm so glad you gave me that advice. I was already pricing motors. I was glad I was sitting down when I got the price from the first place I called. If I wasn't sitting down, I'd be picking myself up off the floor. Now my mirrors and both windows on driver side work. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
