Suddenly all my window and door buttons dont work on driver door except driver window. Also gas tank door button stopped working too. Checked fuses and found nothing wrong. But driver side is only window it will control. If I need to remove the button unit I would need some guidance getting it out.

Hello,

This could be a problem with Ground 46 of your vehicle. In the diagrams down below I have include the ground distribution wiring diagram for your vehicle as well a picture of where ground 46 is located for your vehicle. Please check the ground and make sure that it is clean, tight, corrosion free, and making good metal to metal contact. Please get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you. Will be doing brakes, finding the heater fan problem from another post on here, and try to figure this out. Will post results and or ask more questions. (Lol) I'm thinking my daughter left the windows open and it may have gotten wet at one time, but i'm hoping not.

And just to verify, the passenger window works from passenger side switch. So motors are okay.

Hello again,

Yes. 75% of all electrical problems in automotive circuits are going to be ground problems, and all of the symptoms here all point to that ground. Please let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

Most ground wires are going to be black, and your vehicle is no exception. In the diagrams down below I have included the power door lock wiring diagrams for you for reference. Pleasego through these guides and report back with what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Success! Did find ground was a little loose but still didn't work. Decided time to pull door panel and check for power. Found main socket fell out of the unit. Somehow the blue pin that secures it failed. Had to zip tie it into place to keep it in. All is well now. Thank you
