Welcome to AF!

Your door is not useless, it still keeps you in and the weather out!

Start by checking all the fuses (probably not the cause if only one door is inop, but always start with the basics. You'll probably need a wiring diagram to test it. It seems to me that they are three seperate switches (and it's very unlikely for three parts to fail at the same time) mounted in a common trim piece, but I have been wrong before. Does the power lock work on the drivers door if the switch is pressed on the passenger door?

So I go to this get-together at a friends house, not remembering it's a few days before Halloween. I see a bunch of dirty looking strangers. Then I see a guy that was clearly wearing a Halloween costume and I make the connection, and say "Oh yeah, Halloween... y'all goin' as a group of bums?". Turns out they weren't wearing costumes.

Re: door lock/window/mirror buttons died

Do you know how to use a multimeter to test voltage?
It sounds like the shared positive or negative wire isn't connected anymore...
