Front Passenger Side Power Everything Don't Work

Got a weird electrical problem. Nothing electrical works on the front passenger side door, that is: power mirrors, power locks, power window. Only thing working is the right flasher in the mirror.

 

I swapped C1 breaker under the dashboard, left of steering. On the driver side fuse panel, I checked the fuse for the passenger side module, and all those pertaining to locks and windows.

 

Driver side and both back doors work as normal.

 

I'm going to take the door skin off this weekend to make sure all the connections are connected, but I'm looking for other ideas too.

 

Thanks,

Marc...

No, I have not.

 

Decided not to start taking stuff apart unless I would have an idea where to start. I bring it to a friend, he's a Dodge mechanic, but good with electrical problems. However without wiring diagrams, not sure how much troubleshooting he can actually do.

I had that problem with my previous 2003 drivers door. Turned out to be the controls. Once replaced, everything was golden :dunno:

I'm not questioning you here, just asking myself some troubleshooting questions out loud here.

 

The power locks, power windows can be controlled by both the driver door and passenger door, if it was the controls, should they work from the driver side controls which works for the other 3 doors?

 

The power mirrors can only be controlled by the driver side, the driver side mirror can be adjusted and folded, but not the passenger side. Since there is no controls for that on the passenger side, would that rule out the controls?

 

As you might have figured out, I'm going at it by process of elimination from simple to more complex, that's why I went for the fuses and breakers first.

My money is on something came unplugged. I'd check the connection where the door harness plugs in. I think this is behind the pass. kick panel. I wouldn't suspect the controls beacuse you can't move the mirrior so no power is reaching that door. find a tech on here and ask them where the door harness plugs in at to be sure, or just follow it where it passes through the A pillar into the cab. It has be on the cab side since nothing is reaching that door only. my 2 cents

I believe all the power for the window and the mirror goes through the driver side switch.

This may be something that the dealer will have to diagnose. On these new vehicles, the computer controls everything. The BCM (body control module) may be the culprit here and they can hook up the Tech 2 scan tool and check it out. Expensive dealer shop labor wouldn't be my first choice either, but maybe money well spent in this case.

If the door and switches are anything like the 2011, you can pull the door switch panel and check for things unplugged. On my 2011, it appears that everything plugs into switch module and then there is a single harness that goes down inside the door and through the accordion tube to inside the kick panel.

Well, I'll check the door switches this weekend and see where it routes into the cab to see if it's connected there too, than go from there. Sounds like I might have to bite the bullet and go to the dealer.

 

One more thing, the LED flashers in the mirror do work though, but not sure if the power source is different.

It takes less than 5 minutes to pull the switch module (no need to pull door panel off). I use a putty knife to spread the force.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
