4 years later and this video is still helping, ive been trying to figure this out for months, thank you

Thanks Axle!! My problem started two weeks ago on a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado with all the electrical do dads. I'm 81 and have a lot of odd experiences with vehicles the last 60 years. I was about to take it to a dealer but decided to google the problem. Hallelujah!!!! I found you. There is a "You Pull it" yard about ten miles from me. My son had found a brand new jack for a 22 year Toyota about two weeks ago. So we went looking for Chevy trucks, Suburbans, Tahoes etc: it seemed all the doors had been cannibalized and we were having trouble finding one. Finally my son saw one laying in the floor of a well cannibalized Tahoe. They charged me five dollars for it. It works perfectly! Thanks to your video's problem solved and very inexpensively. I had decided to order from Amazon if this didn't work. You're the man!!

Thank you so much for this video. After 3 months of my husband trying to figure out what was wrong with the window. I removed the device and unplugged the cords and reinserted them. And BAM. Fixed it.... All in 5 minutes....

This video is great. Man I had the EXACT same thing happen to me, lights and all. Now I know exactly what direction to head in. Keep it up brother.

Thanks for the video - I had all the same symptoms - I tried the quick and dirty fix you mentioned - I unhooked the battery - waited 2 minutes - now the window works, the keyfob works and the mirror works. Hopefully I don't have the same problem again. I really appreciate folks like yourself that create these videos - KZfaq is my first place to go and find answers for my car repairs.

Wow, had the same problem. can’t believe that’s all it took. Unplug and plug back in. Working perfectly!! Thanks for the video keep up the good tutorial 🤙🏼

Wow! Every single problem I was having with my truck all makes sense! Thank you!

My 2003 Yukon had all the power in the door go away. I replaced the regulator with motor because it was dying anyway and checked the switch module which was still good. As long as I had the vehicle the driver's door acted weird. If I opened it all the way it wouldn't have power but if I closed it or even just ajar it would work. Finally it stoped working all together. I checked the wiring harness between the door and the jam and sure enough, the black wire was broken in two. I butt spliced them back together and it works perfectly...God is Good!

The end of your video helped with my issue. I had finally bought a new module and was so happy it worked. I put it in last night and today my battery was dead!! The end of your video explained it! After my battery is charged I hope shutting the door to install solves the problem. Thanks!

Thanks...went to a truck used parts dealer ..junk yard.. ...$35.00 replaced passenger door switch module and everything is working again....mirror, window and locks.....awesome...had checked fuses, wiring harness, disconnected battery ...none of that solved the problem....

Thanks for the video. I have a 2005 Suburban. Turns out my passenger door module has a broken retainer on the second plug that allowed it to become disconnected. Plugged it back in and taped it up with some electrical tape. Everything works on that door now.

Thank you for your video. I did what you said and my door works on the passenger side along with the mirrors. I can't thank you enough

No problem man , great show by the way very insightful. Keep the good work going .

Thanks for your vid's on this. I have an early 04 GMC Sierra reg cab 132K mi. I also had a door slam, but on the drivers door by my wife.... I cringed when I heard it, but let it go out of experience. I did roll up the passenger window after the slam but then the door died. I try cleaning the old module... I took it apart PITA and used contact cleaner... this did nothing.... so I bought a new module on Ebay... this worked. There is a 7mm screw holding the front of the module trim, so the stem it screwed into broke when removing it, which I epoxied ( Smith bros. epoxy ) back on. The module is designed to come off with the door panel off. I used some silicone on the screw stem when replacing it and worked the front of the module & trim piece in first in a Front Down Rolling motion.... ( removal is the reverse, back edge up and out first ) ... It's a tight fit, but fit nice when back in. So it's either take of the door panel off or do it this way. A few gremlins but very good trucks.

Thanks Axle, saved a lot of frustration.

Thank you, I love the way you compared that to women and web md because I've been googling and I was about to tear the door apart.

6 yr old video. Wow that's exactly the problem I have with my 2003 Tahoe . Everything you said no key fob either. Just for shits and giggles I went out and tried my passenger power mirror and nothing the drivers side works ! So glad you made this video!❤

Great Vid. quick ? though . I have a 03 LT Astro and the drivers side and passenger side door locks will not work on either side using the door lock button . BUT I can control the windows from both sides . Any suggestions ? Thanks Joe

I think you just saved alot of ass chewing from my wife! We just got a 2004 Suburban 1500 Lt 4wd and it has a few quirks. The power went out completely on the pass door. I checked all of the fuses. Now I'll just by a DCM. Thank you 😊

Thanks So Much!, a mechanic told me i needed a costly fix, i tried unplugging the battery and all was fixed. Now the dash lights wont turn off automatically haha

Same problem on my '04, carefully took the module apart using several screwdrivers to wedge tabs apart and clean both sides of circuit board and the black tabs on the green silicone pad with rubbing alcohol and a q tip, reassemble and hopefully you'll save yourself 200.00+

This saved me sometime for sure thank you so much for the video

Sorry to ask... if the problem started after you slammed the door, it is possible that some connection came loose. So, I assume you tried the simplest, which is to disconnect all the cables and them reconnect them. Before you tried hooking up the module from the other vehicle? (I just noticed that other people just disconnected and reconnected. I am going to try that first.)

Did your passenger speaker stop working as well? I have the same problem and my speakers on that side don't work wondering if the module has something to do with it

I replaced the window and lock switch for passenger side and it still doesn't work from using the passenger or drivers side switch. Curious if you had any ideas?

Quick tip, with truck shut up open drivers door, sit down, stick key in, do not turn yet, hold the unlock down, shut door while still holding down and cycle key on to acc and off then on to acc , two times to the acc. horn should beep and this will reset the BCM and if need be you can also reprogram your key fobs at this time. My truck used to just die out sometimes and this would get it to start back up almost right away. Turned out bad Ground at fuel rail to block and bad fuel pump. runs like it should now. Thanks for reading, hope this helps someone.

Hey man I hope you see this I have a 2007 gmc sierra 2500hd classic (old body style) and after washing the truck my windows rolled down but the passenger windows wouldn’t roll up. The speakers and locks still work and I hooked a battery to the windows motor and that rolled em up so I know the motors are working, but neither the individual door switches or the main driver door switch will roll the passenger windows up or down. The rear passenger will click the same as when the windows is all the way up or down but won’t move and the front passenger does nothing at all. Think I should just try the switches like you did?

Nice video. Hopefully it will help my 2003 Avalanche too. Door locks started going crazy last week locking & unlocking while driving. Got home disconnected the battery for about 10 min. to clear codes. The truck hasnt started since.. Smh.

Great video!!! Got a PDM out of the junk yard for $10.15. Only thing is I don't have a green plug. What does that green plug control?

Wow thanks a lot man I’m trying this out today when you said nothing works on the door and the key fob doesn’t work I knew this would solve my problem

ey this is good information thanks now I now what to do 👍

Thank you for figuring this out. It was giving me a headache

Thanks brother! You just saved me a lot of time and trouble shooting!

Does the mirror work now?

2007 yukon GMC master switch ????

Have the same problem as it was working then it was not working then this past Sunday it started to work again. I think I have a loose wireless or 2 going to the module and will check it out. I may also have some green corrosion on one of the plugs or module itself. Great video by the way.

Great video well done, and very informative.

I would love for you to look at my vehicle...2001 Yukon Xl....only 2 windows work and those are on the driver side. My passanger side windows does not work from the passenger or driver side....I hear no motor running and now my driver side window acts crazy...I noticed it after a day of rain and my window was slightly cracked. It will roll down by itself when the truck is turned on and will take its time rolling back up...I usually have to play around with the switch (pushing up and down back and forth) until it finally decides to roll back up....its frustrating😣

Thanks my window on the passenger side of my 2003 chevy hadn't worked in months went on ebay order one hooked it alarm went off,got everything put back together and reset my key fob and good to go now👍👍

Would you assume its the same for a 2011 Tahoe LTZ 5.3 I was getting a jump start, after the front right door has no power at all. Great video. Thanks in advance.

I had a similar situation but different side mirror work,no windows or locks , keys and fob not working, start up but turn off instantly my because the security system cause fobs not working mine happened when I closed the driver door. Bought a new window control module didn't solve it I spent 300 on it at oriels turned out loose wire in the connection harness long skinny one with the swing lock on it. I cut the top open hard to explain but so I can push the pins down with a metal pick then glued it in place with luiqid electrical tape. Inside the pins of the harness they move up and don't make a contact

Did the light on the passenger door turn on every time you opend the door? Back when you had that problem going on?

remember to reprogram the keyless remote as thats part of the programming of the PDM, also if your truck has TPMS, that also needs to be relearned

I actually heard my truck honk at me when this happened to my passenger side door control module--also, 2 years ago, my fob stopped working, but everything else worked until now, and I remember back then, my horn honked at me when it happened--the truck will let you know when something happens, but just with one honk, and its done...lol crazy

Question! Have you done any videos on how to disable the auto door locks. The give instruction online, but just a overview.

Going to try this, and yes internet searching does take you down a rabbit hole. Great vid!

I did everything you said to do but it's on my master door so if my driver door window that doesn't want to work one day it was working the next day it just froze up I was thinking it was a regulator I bought a brand new one put it on still doesn't want to go up and down but because that window don't work it doesn't let my passenger window work but my back windows work so what do I do now if there's a way that you can help me out I appreciate it I'm looking at fuses I'm not sure one place said look under the steering wheel column there's fuses down there I don't even know what I'm looking for I don't do wiring I could do everything else but wiring

Just purchased 2004 suburban the windows work up front but not in back plus the automatic door locks and key fib not working going to buy a new battery fir key fob any advice thank you

I have 97 suburban with power windows and locks not working. Did check fuses they're fine. Any suggestions?

I have been chasing this problem for 3 years, dumb me cut the wires to the door after an accident to remove the door. Replaced the harness on new door and boom no power to the door exactly the way you explained, nothing had power. Got two window switches from the junkyard and still nothing. Replaced all fuses, relays and checked all grounds, still nothing. Just replaced the BCM with one programmed for my truck, you guessed it still nothing. Replaced the driver window switch with one from the junkyard that I tested and worked and still nothing. Do I need to try a brand new switch? Or any suggestions?

i have the same case but fog light stopped and even HI light even both signal not working trunk won't open DMM not working i m not sure what the issue i checked all fuse it seems fine even door driver no button is working not able to unlok or lok car vy remote controol

Ok my door is completely shut , locked won't open! How can I 4emovw the panel without opening the door my window does work tho I just can't figure out how I can start the process to get to my lock latch hook to replace it.... Help

You mentioned that the module remembered its last setting with lights on, window up. Do you suppose that unplugging battery for a bit at that point would reset the module?

I just had this problem. Mine was intermittent and then completely out. I pulled the module and checked the plug-ins and then - as I had thought might be the problem - I pulled the wiring boot/sleeve off the harness between body and door and found an orange wire broke - I patched in with some wire and all is fixed again. Check your wire harness before spending $140 on a part. This repair cost nothing.

Ah , youtube, I have been reading my helms shop service manual, it has long testing procedures. Test for ground, check for DTC, relays, on and on. Like my Buick changed driver side master control all works fine. Thanks man.

Would that stop the keyless from going into program mode for the keyless fobs

Thank you so much for your very informative video I wondered if you might be able to possibly direct me where to begin looking at my 2007 Chevy Silverado Z71 crew cab. My symptoms are slightly different where the driver side door panel Works to move all of the windows all four windows. But the the back driver side door lock works intermittently power lock both with the key fob and with the driver door panel. Neither passenger side door front or back unlocks with the driver side door panel or the key fob. But when I push the unlock and lock button on the passenger front side door panel it will unlock the driver door and Intermittent Leave the Past in the rear driver door but I can't figure out where to begin looking to get the passenger side doors to lock and unlock I'm just not sure where to start I'm pretty Savvy when it comes to figuring things out but I have yet to be able to find a video or a Google link with the same symptoms. Do all of the windows work both from passenger side door driver side front and back they they work their own Windows the front driver and passenger side work all four windows. The driver side front door work unlocks and locks with a key fob and with the driver door panel as well as the passenger door panel. The rear driver side door unlocks and locks intermittently both with the key fob and the driver and passenger door panels. But neither passenger side door front or back works with either door panel or the key fob. But again that front passenger side door operates all the windows its own window and it unlocks the front driver side door and intermittently the back driver side door. I apologize for the long explanation I would really appreciate and be very grateful if you might have any idea on a you know what direction to begin with I would that would really appreciate it thank you

OMG, leave it to Chevrolet / GM to make something as a simple door switch so complicated! Thanks for the great overview. I'm having a similar issue whereby I was replacing my entire window regulator assembly and had to unplug the door controller during the installation process. Now the switch/controller doesn't work at all, and everything is plugged back in as designed. I bet I need to go reset the thing by disconnecting car battery for a while. I'm going to go give that a try, thanks to your video here....

Try This First --->>FIXED in a Different Way

Had this happen on a 2007 Silverado Classic. Driver door was completely dead (even courtesy light) after installing a speaker. I simply re-seated the long connector (with the pull over lever) and pulled out the power connector for a minute or so. My suspicion was it had nothing to do with this, but possibly from the position I moved the door lock harness to remove the door. To get the panel off, you have to pull the door switch back to the left - which I think possibly puts the DDM module into some kind of state. So I made sure door switch was pulled forward before I plugged the connectors back to the DDM.

This was very helpful.. thanks

I have no power with just the lock function on the passenger, I wonder if getting a new one will fix it. I've replaced every fuse, relay and both actuators, still no power with the lock function

Great video. Thanks so much!

My 2004 Chevy duramax just started to show driver door ajar and all dome lights come on. Also at the same time from my driver side window switch my windows will go up or down then stop then nothing then it will work again wtf is otg. I did get the window switch wet but why the door ajar message with all lights coming on?

Same problem. Good hat!

Loved your presentation but wasn't my problem my problem was loose pdm fuse connection would like to know your introduction music Thanks

I have a 03' chevy Astro, the rear door and the passenger doors won't unlock even w/ the door key. What would be the issue

Thank you for the video.

ok what happened to my 02 Chevy K1500 my passenger door was sprung in the wind but didn't stop until my son the door he put down the window went put it up and not go

Thanks for the advice....

Can the window door switch stop my 2003 Silverado 5.3 liter from running?

Will have to check this out in the brothers truck. 2007 1500HD. His passenger door died out just after he got it

Thanks for the video! Holy crap. This video gives at least three great examples of why I hate, hate, hate electronic crap on vehicles! First, a "door control module?" WTF? Seriously?! A computer for a door???! That's nuts. Second, $130 for said module??? Also nuts! And, a door module that affects the lock, the window, interior lights and maybe even the seat adjustment? Who designs this stuff??? Insanity. The best repair for this would be, I swear, if you want to take the time to do it, to completely eliminate all the electronic sh1t and wire in a couple of regular, good ol' fashioned rocker switches to control all of this stuff! Worked great for decades. I'm fine with electronic fuel injection. It's efficient and cuts down on lots of carb adjusting. But, body control computers with submodules in doors??? NO! This is shear lunacy! Thanks again - I'll check this out as soon as I get home. Hopefully I can find a good replacement at the junk yard. If not, I'm going with hardwired hardware, whatever it takes!

hope you took the key out of the ignition,before you locked the truck, or will have a Dummy part ll lol.

What’s the peice called that all the wires run to behind that triangle cover on passenger side

Here is an odd ball situation. Drivers door DDM will work intermittently, it will operate the drivers door window sometimes the passenger rear door window and the drivers rear door window all the time and the passenger door not at all. Also the power locks work in one direction - lock, and cycle randomly while driving or parked. The passenger door mirror doesn't adjust and the directional in the mirror works sometime. There is like seven things going on and aren't contributed to a slam or anything just the way it is. The one thing for certain is there is power in the passenger door but everything else is a mystery. oh btw I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Great sir

Will try this my 2007 just did the same power mirrors , windows and door lock stopped working after the slammed shut speaker and seat still work though

I thought I had this problem but I wasn’t connecting one of the connections for the driver side. Connected it the right way now everything works how it should

Love the hat!!

Thanks I am having the same problem in my 04 duramax window was dead door lock was dead and interior lights stayed on when all doors were shut

Thank you I have a 2004 Yukon xl I’m having the same problem but in the back 2 doors this really helped!

First the the blower fan, then the fuel pump then the door module. Who is the manufacturer of there electronic equipment.

Just bought an 04 SS Silverado changed the door speakers out and i ran into this problem much help sir!

Disconnected my battery for 20 minutes and now it works.

Alex I have a Tahoe with a passenger door not working.. found a orange wire from the 26 pin connector came. Do you know what pin at goes to.

My 203 Chev Trailblazer has a problem, sometimes the power lock, windows and keyless will not work. It could be before driving and sometimes while driving. The issue comes and goes. I was told it was a computer problem.

I have a 2003 Silverado SS. Tonight I rolled my windows down and the passenger window wouldn’t roll back up. Has power to literally everything but the window. Doesn’t make any noise or anything. I checked the fuses inside and out they’re fine but the window is just dead

Do key fobs need to be reprogrammed?

Thanks you thanks you thank you

I took my door unit out and thumped it with a srewdriver handle. Everything worked after that.

I don't have power what i can do ?

Bought a new module still no power and it didn't work any HELP please.

Thanks!

How do you get it reprogrammed once you've purchased a replacement?

The proper way to take off the window switch panel on 2003 to 2006 and 2007 Classic body full size GM trucks is to remove the door panel first, unplug the switch harnesses and remove the bolt with the 7mm head towards the rear of the switch panel underside AND THEN remove it from the door panel. Otherwise you can bust it off and it will never stay on the door panel again. 1999 to 2002's can be removed from the top side without removing the door panel because these older models where designed to be held on with just clips.

I took my door panel off to remove a speaker and then magically absolutely nothing works on the passenger door. I plugged in everything back in the correct spot and I have no clue what’s wrong. Same issue no key fob working, can’t roll down window etc

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ELECTRIC WINDOW BEHIND PASSANGER SEAT WINDOW WONT GO D OK WN OR UP HELP

Thank u.

This is happening again to my 2018 Chevy Malibu none of my windows will roll up or down the dealership already fixed it once where they replaced the main switch and it worked for about a year and now it's doing the same thing except time it's all of the windows not working 😲
