Default Driver Auto Windows up/down & door lock problem

Got two problems and not sure if they're related.

The driver windows auto down/up function is no longer working. I have to hold the button in order for it to fully open and close. All other windows are fine.

This is rare, but sometimes when I try to unlock all 4 doors from outside, the driver door side doesn't automatically unlock. I have to resort to putting my key into the door and doing a manual unlock.

If it is one touch lower/raise not working, try reprogramming the pinch protection .. hold the button down and let the glass travel all the way down and the hold the button up and let the glass travel up all the way. Do that couple of times and then test the single flick.

Search door lock actuator for lock.

If you are the DIY type, Lexmex posted a DIY on how to service the window regulator. I did not have enough faith and predicted that the fix will not last long. It has been many months and Lexmex has not had any problems.

Some serious diagnosis and repair is needed.

Salim,

Your faith may have been in the right place.

My window still works...barely.

I recently bought another regulator (still in the box) but I hopefully will get to it tomorrow morning. I have a hunch at this point that my regulator is bent somehow (given issues last time with how the 10mm bolts lined up) and got one off of Amazon.com

However, I plan to also take a look at the control module on the driver's side door and its contact points.
