When electrical stuff doesn't work it is a switch, fuse or fusible link. When you have multiple circuit failures it is likely a bad fusible link. Get out your shop manual for the car and check which fusible link feeds power to these devices; then, test it. If the fusible links all check good, it may be a major connector plug in the electrical harness that is loosing contact. Good luck.

SOURCE: Drivers door power window control stopped

Since it is only happening on the drivers side door to multiple switches and lights on that door only, I think the problem is the wiring harness as it enters the drivers door by the door hinges.

Unless the batteries on your key have run flat and need replacement, the key needs reprogramming. Advanced diagnostics at an authorised service centre will sort both issues pretty fast.

Chances are the autolock doesn't work because it "sees" a door open. Check the plunger between the door and the frame of each door to see if the plunger is broken, bent, or otherwise not working.

Where is the main accessory power fuse located on a 1998 buick regal ls 3.8

Not a fuse problem .
Voltage is applied to the left front window switch through the PWR WINDOWS PWR SUNROOF circuit breaker and to circuit 143
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Circuit Description
The Body Control Module (BCM) controls the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) feature. The RAP feature allows for the operation of the following components for 10 minutes (or until a vehicle door opens) after the ignition switch turns from the RUN or ACC to the LOCK position:
• The radio
• The power windows
• The power sunroof (if equipped)
The BCM interfaces with the vehicle's power distribution through the RAP relay. The RAP relay allows the BCM to control the application of power to circuit 75. Circuit 75 provides power to the following circuits:
• Circuit 43 -- Radio
• Circuit 143 -- Power windows, and the power sunroof, if equipped
When the ignition switch is in either of the following positions, the BCM energizes the RAP relay by grounding circuit 707:
• ACC
• RUN
The BCM turns OFF the RAP relay when the ignition switch is in the START position. This action disables the RAP feature during the engine crank and bulb test.
When the ignition switch turns from the RUN or ACC position to the LOCK position with all of the vehicle doors closed, the BCM leaves the RAP relay energized for 10 minutes, or until any vehicle door opens. (The BCM detects a ground signal in circuit 49 or circuit 727).
The BCM resets the RAP timer when the ignition switch turns from the LOCK or OFF position to the ACC or RUN position.


I would check the RAP relay . Accessory Time Delay (RAP) Relay
Behind the IP compartment, attached to the underside of cross-car beam.

Check your wires and fuses, I am having a similar problem myself as the windows open, but not the sunroof and this is a feature that VW had on most of these models with power locks, even my 96 Gti did it. I will repost with what fixed it ASAP.

Driver side power window and lock not working

Check the electrical connections for you control switches...there should be at least two of them. Disconnect them and see if there are any recessed pins or dirt. Do this several times as there may be some oxidation on the connectors and doing this will help clean them off. The radio and door light works of the small limit switch on your door frame. Everything else works through the operators window/door lock control panel.

My 2004 jeep grand cherokee has issues with windows rolling down and the automatic door locks.. Neither will work on any door. The sunroof will roll back however.

Had a similar problem... the wiring harness that goes inside the drivers door had a broken wire, hence no power would go to the door locks or the power windows. Check the area where the harness flexes when the door opens and closes.
