Window, Door lock, and puddle light issue.
About three or four days ago, I noticed that my doors would not lock via my key fob. So I waited about an hour or so to try locking my doors..and they locked as they normally do. The day after that, I had rolled my window all the way down to find it stuck(driver side front). I tried shutting off my car and restarting, but nothing worked. Hours later, I went out to try rolling it up..and all was good except for my key fob not locking my doors again. All I could hear was my rear door locks clicking. So now when I have to lock my doors, I turn the key twice to lock everything...but the front passenger door will not lock unless you flip the lock on the inside. On top of that, My puddle light in my driver side door no longer works. I pulled the bulb, and it is still fine. Initially I had thought that my door lock actuator had finally gone out, but now I dunno. I have been reading a lot about the door lock actuators...and I feel that I could have a different problem since nothing in my driver door works except for the window switches for the other three doors. Could it be the ecu in the door? I took it out today, and the mother board looks good as new......Has anyone had this same issue?

I would start by replacing the battery in your remote. I resolved some odd issues by doing this. Then you have to attack each issue separately they may be related but you will not know until you start ruling out possible causes.
doors would not lock via my key fob - possible key fob battery issue
rolled my window all the way down to find it stuck - I have this same issue on my front passenger window occasionally. I suspect the door ECU. I have figured out that holding the switch up sometimes rather then using the one-up feature will bring it up. Other times just waiting a few minutes will resolve it (for me).
Key fob not locking my doors again - possible key fob battery issue
front passenger door will not lock - Possible actuator
puddle light in my driver side door no longer works - Start checking fuses and wiring for correct voltages. Also check if the dash recognizes that the door has been opened. Does the dome light come on?

Today I got in my car and everything worked for about five minutes...than stopped. Guess my question now is, If the ecu goes out....is this what happens. Damn electrical demons
