Default 05 driver side control panel not working...

The driver side control panel doesn't work. No locks, no windows, no side mirror adjustment, no light on the window lock. I popped off the control unit and unplugged and replugged everything back in. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Everything works fine on all the other doors.
Any ideas?

Thanks!!

I'm sure that at some point it has. Not sure how recent however its been. I would guess its the unit on the door just because all the others work. Even the doors will all lock except the drivers side with the keyless fob.

Does it look like you can get the board out of the door and clean it with electrical cleaner? I have done that on other boards and they worked fine after cleaning the rust & calcium off from water damage. Sometimes they do blow resistors etc and need to be replaced.

When you say "board" do you mean the guts inside the black box that the window & lock controls are on? or just clean the 4 or 5 plug connections in the bottom of the box?

Which sub model do you have? LT LS etc. & motor size. I can get you a schematic for it.
