No power in driver side door

Nothing works on drivers door, no power windows, no door locks, no power mirrors, no trunk lid, no gas lid, but the other doors work fine and all power windows work fine with local switch.
I left driver side door open for hours, I hit the door lock on the remote and it beeped wich meant all doors were closed even though the drivers door was opened, I got in closed the door and went for a short drive, first the instrument panel said the door was open even though it wasn't then it wouldn't lock with the remote so I manually locked it with key in door and left it till the next day.
The next day I noticed the door light was out but the bulb was good. Now the door is completely dead. I tried disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes but there was no change. also checked all fuses, they were all good.
Is there a plug or some kind of fuse inside the door? If anyone can help it would be apreciated thanks.

I just fix the same problem :(
Two wires in harness were broke. Let me give you some instructions to fix this. 1- Remove the inside panel. then remove the conection that is in the middle betwen the door and the body of the car, is like black cover for the wires. In my case 2 of these wires were broke.
2- Remove the screws of the door in the frame then close the door and pull the door only a few inches just to have acces of your hand to pull the wires.
3- Add another piece of cable, to meke these cables longer, and put everything back.

You will have to remove the switch assembly and resolder the connections.

    It's under the buttons you push to open the doors.

Windows, side mirrors and door locks suddenly stopped working on 2002 Buick Lesabre Limited

The first thing to do would be to hook up a factory or professional type scan tool an check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's . This vehicle has very complex electronic's. Serial data communication network,class2 data bus . There are electronic modules inside the door's that control the lock's ,power window's , power mirror's . Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop . Not a fuse problem , driver an passenger door module each have thier own power supply. Two circuit breakers ,PWR/WDO circuit breaker 30 amp. You could check DRVMDL 10amp fuse ,located in the rear fuse box , PASSMDL 10amp fuse rear fuse box , RRDR/MDL 10 amp fuse rear fuse box . Rear fuse box is under the back seat . None of the window's , lock's etc.. work from any door switch ?
