It took me a while to find this, but here is the definitive answer to where the ECU is for the door.

I would urge him to do the homework and not jump on any information here. IMHO (unconfirmed as I have not worked on it) the door ecu is under the instrument cluster near kick panel.

Armed with circuit, any one can trace signals to the ecu. <= this is worth pursuing.

Thanks for your help Salim as i told another member i will try to snag the door switch and the ecu in the kick pannel hopefully for under 200$ and give it a shot the only bad thing that can happen is it not work :-)

The door actuator is expensive and the ecu is not too expensive, but the problem can be in the wires or the connector. I would still say do the diagnosis. If you throw parts at it, you may still be at square one, but then there is a chance that you have replaced the failed part.

Be very careful when it comes to opening the door panel and working with the the actuator/door-release. If assembly is not done right and you put the panel back, the door can remain shut and you have to destroy the door panel to get to the innards.

I sincerely hope that you did not take any offense to my posts.
