Power Windows/Power Mirrors Problem

[mccoynuts]

I have a 2011 Dodge Nitro Shock. The “Drivers Side Control Panel” for the “Front Only Drivers Side and Passengers Side Windows” is intermittent (will not go up or down occasionally). However the Front Passenger Window works properly with the “Passenger Side Control Panel”. Also the “Rear Windows” work properly from the “Drivers Side Control Panel”. Also the “Power Mirrors Control Select Switches L and R” fail at the same time the power windows fail. Taking to dealer for service tomorrow. Suspect problem lies in the drivers side door wiring harness as mentioned in past threads. Will update upon findings from dealer service.

More than likely it is the harness: pinched wire. Also, loose connection. Harness plugs into switches and door jam. Good luck.

This is an update to my original post. Before taking to dealer for service, I decided to try one last thing. It was mentioned in previous posts that the "Drivers Side Control Panel" is easy to remove. I applied pressure to both side edges of the plastic panel face and it lifted straight up out of the arm rest (held in place by four pressure clips). Once the contol panel was free of the arm rest, there are two wired plug on type connectors attached to the bottom of the control panel. I decided to try and reseat the connectors by unplugging them and then reconnecting them (in case of a faulty connection due to oxidation on the contacts) and this procedure corrected the problem. I reinstalled the control panel and the windows and mirrors have been operating properly ever since. Only time will tell if this problem will reoccur.

This is a follow up to my original post as the problem has reoccured. Both of the front power windows and power mirrors have again failed (intermittent). I tried reseating the connectors to the "Drivers Side Control Panel" again but this time the problem remained. Returned vehicle to dealer for service under warranty. Problem was corrected by the dealer. The description on the service ticket was described as "Replacement of the right side door control module". Since this was an intermittent type of failure, only time will tell if it is finally fixed.

Thanks for your update(s) MCCOYNUTS. Hope this works and could help others that may now be out-of-warranty with the same issue.
