Re: 97 PA no pass PW, Door lock or mirror adjustment

The 10A DDM fuse is intact? Is there also 12V at the orange wire at the drivers door module (DDM)?

How about power at the red power feed wire (terminal A) at the DDM? That comes from the RAP circuit breaker.

What about the 12V logic supply coming from the yellow wire at the DDM?

Nope - You're good. I misread the post thinking it was the DDM. What threw me off was the mirror adjustment. Some of the items still apply, however.

The PDM still needs B+ from the RAP circuit breaker on the A terminal. The DDM also needs to provide 12V via the orange wire (terminal 6) to the PDM at terminal 1. The window functions return to the DDM before the window motor is operated. The passenger side lock functions also return to the drivers door before the locks are operated.

Blue I don't have the wiring diagram, but he also has to check the grounds for the PDM........also the power wires for the PDM may be a different color...
