I'm having a heck of a time figuring out what is wrong with my SUV. The rear driver door is getting no power. I put a meter on the speaker wires, nothing coming through. The power window/lock is also not functioning. I have not changed anything in the vehicle recently, and it is only 1 out of the 4 doors that this is happening on.

Any ideas on where to start? I've been googling for a good day and haven't found much.


2003 Durango, 4.7L automatic

 

Does the auto lock function on that door when you hit 15 mph? Can you control the window or locks from the driver’s master panel?

 

Thank you for the quick reply!

No, the lock cannot be controlled from the drivers switches or unlocked from the passenger switch either.

 

This is from Chiltons:
One Window Inoperative
The window glass must be free to slide up and down for the power window motor to function properly. If the glass is not free to move up and down, the motor will overload and trip the integral circuit breaker. To determine if the glass is free, disconnect the regulator from the glass. Then slide the window up and down by hand.
There is an alternate method to check if the glass is free. Position the glass between the up and down stops. Then, shake the glass in the door. Check that the glass can be moved slightly from side to side, front to rear, and up and down. Then check that the glass is not bound tight in the tracks. If the glass is free, proceed with the diagnosis that follows. If the glass is not free, determine the cause of the condition.
If the only inoperative window is in the driver or passenger side front door and the preceding checks have not identified a problem, refer to window motor). If the problem being diagnosed involves only the Auto-down feature for the driver side front door window, but all of the power windows are operational, replace the driver's side window/lock switch. For diagnosis of the window/lock switch, refer to power lock switch. For a rear power window problem proceed with the following:
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Unplug the wire harness connector from the power window switch unit on the door with the inoperative power window. Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity of the power window switch wire harness connector and a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the power window and door lock master switch as required.
Connect the battery negative cable. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch output (run) circuit cavity in the body half of the power window switch unit wire harness connector. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the power window and door lock master switch as required.
Test the power window switch continuity. Refer to window switch. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, replace the power window switch.
Check the continuity in each circuit between the inoperative power window switch wire harness connector cavities and the corresponding power window motor wire harness connector cavities. If OK, refer to window motor. If not OK, repair the open circuit(s) as required.
NOTE
All passenger door power window switches receive their battery and ground feed for operating the passenger door power window motors through the driver side power window and lock master switch and wire harness connector.
Window/Door Lock Switch
Check the circuit breaker in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty circuit breaker.
Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery voltage at the circuit breaker in the junction block. If OK, turn the ignition switch to the Off position and go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the circuit to the ignition switch as required.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power window switch unit from the door trim panel (passenger doors). The driver’s door switch is included with the Driver Door Module. Refer to driver door module switch tests. Unplug the wire harness connector from the switch unit.
Test the power window switch continuity. See power window switch continuity to determine if the passenger door switch continuity is correct in the Off, Up and Down switch positions. If OK, refer to window motor testing. If not OK, replace the faulty switch.
Power Window Switch Continuity
Switch position neutral, continuity between pin 2 and 5, pin 4 and 1
Switch position up (front passenger), continuity between pin 6 and 5
Switch position down (front passenger), continuity between pin 6 and 1
Switch position up (rear passenger), continuity between pin 6 and 1
Switch position down (rear passenger), continuity between pin 6 and 5
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the window/lock switch power window and power lock switches receive battery current through the circuit breaker in the Integrated Power Module (IPM). If only one LED in the door module is inoperative, replace the faulty door module. If the driver side front door power window operates in a normal manner, but the Auto-Down feature is inoperative, replace the faulty window/lock switch.
Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. Remove the window/lock switch from the door trim panel. Disconnect the door wire electrical connectors from the switch.
Test the switch continuity. See the window/door lock switch test to determine if the continuity is correct for the suspect switches in each switch position. If not OK, replace the faulty window/lock switch as required.
