Default Electrical problems

My wife has a 2000 grand caravan and she has some odd electrical problems, all on the drivers side. Her door window will sometimes not come back up. And the rear drivers side window will sometimes not open or close. Seems to happen when it's more humid. Now here drivers side brake light is not working. Yes, I changed the bul. I'm not as familure with Dodge as I am with GM. Is there a ground bus for the drivers side that I can check?Or is there something else I should be looking for? Thanks.

Are there other relays besides the ones in the box under the hood?

My wife has a 2000 caravan also,she has experienced the same problem about two years ago on the rear windows and the same on the passengers window at about a year ago.I traced the problem on the passengers window to a bad switch in that same door witch solved the problem in the door only. More recently The brake lights have stopped working and yet the cyclops center brake light still is working.The bulbs are good,the sockets are clean, dry,and not corroded.I hear tells of hidden body modules that can only be trouble shot by shops scheming to drain my pockets.
Is there any hope ? This van has just turned 175K miles and my wife feels very comfy in her aging van.
