Driver door window and lock do not work - all other windows and locks work Sign In

2007 Pontiac Torrent
3.4 L V6 Engine size
95,000 Miles

I have purchased this car used from a car dealer about a year ago and the lock and unlock button on the driver side door did not work but the remote would lock and unlock the driver side door. The passenger side door lock and unlock works and that also will lock and unlock the driver side door. When the car goes in park all the doors unlock and when the car goes out of park all the doors lock. The driver side door unlock and lock button does not work, but everything else does.
Recently the window stopped working - It is closed and will not move down. I can push the button to open the window and do not hear the motor moving at all to move the window. All the other windows do open and close still. It can't be a fuse I believe because one fuse works all windows.
The door lock and unlock button on the driver side did not work and a few months later the window did not work - Both problems happened at different times.
I am thinking it could be a broken/split wire that caused this - Just my thinking. What do you think?
Both problems are on the same door - not different doors.
The driver side door.

It's picking on driver's door so would check for wires that bend in door jam being broken - including a ground possible. Try wiggling the boot hiding them while door is open it might get window to work and locks if they should with door open.


Up to you with auto locks to just look in owner's manual for a way to defeat that (usually just a plug you undo listed to do so) if you don't really like that or want that. Reason is if you are in and out a lot that's a lot of work on the actuators you might not need to do that,

If you know how to read a wiring diagram and troubleshoot the circuit I will get you the schematics but if you don't have electrical knowledge, it's probably time to visit the local shop.
