I dough changing the starter has anything to do with it ! Unless you pulled on the wires an one broke Ground or a power wire ! I'd check wires in the door , the boot going from body to door . wires like to break inside ! would cause windows an locks not to work !

I presume you did step one in the FSM book,
that says, remove neg lug first. on battery,? (starter pulls, ALT too)
if yes, good, if not , you blow fuses, or surge the snarf out of electronics,, (oops that can be bad) BCM scrambled?

first ,check all fuses, (any time electics fail , fuse be first)
then scan it, see if the PCM knows what's up.
keep in mind car is old and grands have complex wiring, (huge)
the book on it is free, and covers both your failures.
and all wiring.
only right front door.
ill just look at the power windows. for you....
on this car the BCM tells the Passenger door module (brain)
to run the window motors using the PCI network commands.
fuse 12 blown kills left and right.
G300 ground runs both doors, but is split to left and right.
that is S338 or C314, wires, ground, if broken to door or in door
many things in the door die.
oddly does the right REAR window work, if yes, then that ground above is ok, so... you never said. the car has 4 doors.
why not say what all do.? or dont do.
the same door cont. module runs the locks and the lock is closed. the right module runs right front and rear. so.....?????
The door
switch tells the alarm , yes, door is locked,
if the BCM is scrambled, or the door cant talk to the BCM then the door module can report, the door breached (alarm) scan it, scan it again. for comm errors.!
the BCM talks to the module on the PCI bus. and if the PCM cant talk to it, you'd have seen that scanning the PCM. like all posts on this forum
you did NOT scan it first. (SNAFU)
the scans would show, DTC error BCM cant communicate to
Door right modules, so not scanning for errors , means
you miss all those facts.
or the BCM is scrambled, (the scan tells you that, too.)
you cant fix cars lacking a cheap scan tool.
unless super lucky and S338 is seen cut in door.



this is the real book, not fake and is free, not the constant spam as seen on this forum.

SOURCE: Power windows, door locks and mirrors inop.

Sounds familiar - I pulled the rubber boot back and found the black wire was broken. I stripped the wires and put on a couple bullet connectors (terminators) and all is good. Just wish I would have seen this post before I took the door panel off... Oh well...

I had the same problem recently. The dealership diagnosed the pblm as a corroded wire in the door frame that is responsible for all power windows and power locks locks. A simple rewiring and resoldering (approx. 150 CAD$) fixed the problem.

Windows will not work from drivers side master switch or the single door switches lock not working also remote mirrors dont 2001 jeep grand cherokee ltd

First thing to check is the fuses. Look underneath the drivers side steering wheel (to the left) for a covered fuse box. Remove the cover and find the fuse that controls the locks and windows and mirrors (two-three separate fuses) Pull them out "one by one" and see if they are burned out. If they are, replace them with the correct number fuse.If it is not the fuse, the door lock actuator has failed (for the door locks) or the master switch that controls the locks is bad. Go to your local junk yard and find a replacement for cheap

Check the wiring between the drivers door and the A pillar(the body of the car). Sometimes the harness breaks from opening and closing the door.
