you checked the fuse but did you check to see if any power was getting to the fuse in the first place. The source of the fault may be further back you could run a temp lead direct from the battery to the fuse and try that.

I was at work at the time and didn't have any tools or a meter with me, I did wonder if there was a connector plug and socket somewhere that might have come adrift. |

First opportunity with time and weather to have a good look at it, firstly I did the reset, disconnecting the battery for ten minutes and touching the leads for 30 seconds, I have checked the rear fuse box and I have power to FA4, next I removed the B pillar lower trim and removed the multi-plug and I have power there so it seems power is getting to the door.

The door module controls both the locking /unlocking and the window operation, all fed from the same fuse.

I've just checked with the side lights on and the window switch is not illuminated. |

I've been driving the car with the problem for nearly two weeks since I noticed it so unfortuneately I don't think it is going to fix itself. |

Okies. Have you tried holding down the inside opening switch (on dash) and trying door handle at the same time? (Obviously with help unless you are stretch Armstrong!) |

Unfortunately that's the front door, I have tried today to remove the trim but no luck, with the door locked shut it is proving to be a bit of a problem, I've managed to get the four retaining screws out and I have some trim removal tools but you can't get them in so I have just made some out of some thin stainless strip I had and will try that tomorrow, but if anyone has removed the trim with the door shut I would love some advice! |

Trim removal wasn't so bad after all, having spent a long time trying to get at the bottom to remove it that way I gave up and went in at the top at the rear with a trim removal tool and went for broke, the corner popped out and I worked my way around the door from the top, the only damage done was one broken clip. |
