I just fixed mine with the same problem a few weeks ago. It was a broken
wire in the driver side door boot. I sliced it open with a razor to access
the wires and found the broken one. Fortunately for me the broken wire was
right on top. I spliced it and  taped up the boot with electical tape after
cleaning the rubber very well with paint thinner. Works now like new.
