Powerless Windows & Doorlocks
My 03 dodge 1500 5.7 hemi has no power to drivers side door controls. Neither driver door or D/S rear door contols work. Passenger side door locks work off the pass door lock switch but only unlocks 2 pass doors. The pass side windows do not operate using either driver or passenger side control. Its a SLT 4door. Checked fuses all good. checked connections at door jams inside boot, all good. changed control panel 2x no change. I was now going to start at the ignition switch and work my way to door but need some tutorials on what wires or relays or other items to be watchful for. Any help would be helpful. Scratching my head on this one. There is only 1 fuse panel under the hood according to the manual and everything inside that panel has power.

Detowman,
All 4 of my windows did not work. Here is what I found: I believe the wire harness has something to do with the problem. Today (10/11/14) I popped off the master switch, and seen the wiring harness from the small plug (forward) wrapped around the larger plug (rear) harness. I said to myself: "Self, why is this wrapped around this way?" I unplugged both, sprayed electronics cleaner in the plug outlets, and let them dry. I then added dielectric grease to the entire plug area and snapped all back together. Nothing. I unraveled the wiring, and held the small plug in while adding pressure towards the front, and adding pressure on the wires while pulling on the harness. All 4 windows operated! So, that is why the harness is wrapped around the other one. It is to add pressure (tension) on the wires. I am still working on the permanent fix, and will add more information as it becomes known. So, it may not be your master switch, or the contacts. I hope this helps. Let me know if you find anything else.

Window Problem
I will look after work today. If you are not getting current to the plugs, the harness itself may have a broken wire. It can usually be found in the tube between the door and chassis. This may br the problem because the constant open/close of the door. I will add more later this afternoon.
