2008 Equinox Sport-No pwr window or lock drivers door
Help! My 2008 Equinox Sport has been bullet proof until now. Suddenly the drivers side pwr window quit working. Was intermintent for about a week then quit. At the same time, I've noticed the pwr lock for same door does not work, with remote or pwr lock button or when putting car in gear. Pwr mirror function still works for this door.
Any ideas?

It is a 2008 so you should still be under the 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and be able to get this taken care of at your dealership. I hope it gets fixed.

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately, I am over the 36,000 limit. My next step will be the dealer, but I always try to figure it out before that step. I don't want pay ahuge a bill for something I caould have fixed.
Thanks again for your suggestion!

Your issue is contained in the door harness and most probibly within the door conduit itself ... sometimes one can expose the door harness and make the repair by disconnecting the door conduit from the door side and body side, remove the harness tape, repair the broken wires, with wire connectors you can obtain from your local auto reair outlet. If these not enough room, then removing the door pad is required.

I just repaired the broken wire issue. Actually, there were 5 broken wires, all at the same location. I removed the door panel (easy) and then removed the kick panel(easy) and unplugged the harness at the front pillar. I then unpluged all of the harness components and removed the entire harness. I soldered all of the broken connections and shrink wrapped the individual wires. I then pulled another shrink tube over the open area on the harness. There are no longer any individual wires to break: They are all in on large mass.
Everythin works as intended and I hope it stays this way for a long, long time.
P.S. I had about 1.5 hours into repairing this. Not as bad as I thought.
