Default HELP! Window switch won't work, along with door lock, and seat settings on driver dR

So long story short, I locked my keys in the trunk and didn't know you could get to the trunk from the back seat. So when AAA unlocked the car, it engaged the anti theft locks and I was no longer to open the trunk from the electric switch inside the car.

We were trying to hook the switch up to the battery and shock it with 12v to open the trunk, and also tried bridging the relay, neither of which worked, but they did spark a couple times.

Now my driver side window will not roll back up (it did roll down after), my door lock switch locks all the other doors, but not the driver side. The click locks all the doors except for driver side. And the seat setting buttons do not work.

Has anyone ever had this problem? Do you know what might be the issue?

In the process but I need to get a fuse tester.

Is it possible that the ECU in the door is fried?

Lol i just checked every fuse yesterday. The drivers door ecu should have a fuse call FL Door or something like that in the driver side kick panel body ECU 2.

Hoefully you can fix yours i had to take my car to the dealer.

similar type problem here: yesterday i had my window half way down... I went to close it and instead of going up it went down. I pulled the button to go up again... and it went further down. I clicked the button fast twice and it went back up. I haven't tried rolling it down since cause its raining off and on right now... Ahhhhh i wish mine was a fuse but since it still moves i doubt it.

Any update shoelace? Cause now my locks arent working right. Open the door... No dome light but when i shut the door the dome came on and the locks worked. Maybe a loose connection in the door panel? I wont have time to check mine till sat.

Shoe- not sure how you where trying to jump it but there is a chance you could fryed the wiring . Check all your fuses and main wiring in the drivers door. I've had my door panels off enough times i'm rather confident there is not an ecu back there. Just a basic switch box for the windows

Sloew-Look in your owners manual there is a fuse diagram

Blackgloss - sound like your car is having issues beyond the basics. if closing doors turns on lights and up is down in your switches you probably are going to need to grab a test light and spend a lot off time tracing wires and re wiring things. Doesn't sound like the same issue.

There is a multiplex ecu in each door. 260 bucks from Carson.
