Hello i could really use some of your guys help. I have a 2003 4 door tahoe and i have a weired sitution going on. The drivers side window/lock switch does not work. Only on the drivers side that i can not get the locks to work, all 4 windows, or the outside mirriors, But if i go to the other doors and try to use the locks or window controls they work fine. I purcheased a new drivers side window/lock control and that did not solve the problem. I have tryed to check every fuse under the hood and the one on the drivers side under the dash. this is really driving me nuts in to why i can not get these to work. Any of you help would be so very much appericated.

They show a 25Amp circuit breaker, one for the left doors, and another one for the right doors. Can you confirm that the Left Rear window switch works or doesn't work? If it doesn't work, then see if you can find the circuit breakers, it might be called "LT DRS" in the owners manual.
If the Left rear window is working correctly, then you will need to get a digital voltmeter and measure the voltage on the power wire going to the drivers switch. You need to verify that the switch is getting power, or not.
This may ultimately end up being a bad BCM Body control module, but I'd have the dealership confirm that before replacing as those are non-returnable and expensive.
Yes the front passenger, rear drivers & Passenger windows/locks etc all work. Its only the drivers side. I purchased a used drivers side window/door locks switch as mine is all one unit and tryed that and did not work. Thank you for replying
Since you replaced the switch unit, with the exact same symptoms, it's unlikely to have two failed devices with the exact same failure....so unlikely that is your problem.
At that point, you are probably looking at a failed BCM. You might try reseating the connectors on the BCM. If that doesn't resolve it, I'd pay the dealer to fix this, as you are likely looking at a BCM....but an incorrrect diagnosis can cost you the bucks of a BCM.....similar to you buying a replacement switch and that not being the problem.
Thanks in advance
Thanks,

I've replaced one of the right door fuses and was looking at also replacing one of the right door circuit breakers. A test of that circuit breaker, however, indicates that it may still be good.
Any ideas on what else could be happening?
Thanks for any info.....
Sorry in taking so long to thank & take you up on your generous offer!... I hadn't checked this site obviously in quite a while. I'm glad you got your situation resolved with replacing the door lock, but I fear mine is a completely differant animal! If I remember correctly you were only having trouble with your door lock, whereas on mine nothing works on any of the armrest controls, windows, heated seats, door lock, mirror, & most importantly the master window lock! We ended up taking it on vacation anyway, & my four kids had fun tormenting Dad that he couldn't lock out their window controls!!... I did speak with my local Chevy dealer & he said they have seen this problem related to the BCU module locking up. He suggested pulling the fuse to that unit, to allow it to power down completely. To be honest I haven't had a chance to try it as we haven't been using our Suburban since the A.C. compressor locked up. When it rains it pours!!...
Please feel free to contact me at my business e-mail, (meysingwholesale@hotmail.com) if I am relating your problem incorrectly or you have any other suggestions!
Thanks again!!
If you get a chance try pulling the fuse to the BCM on your wifes Yukon letting it power down. Replace it & see if your door recovers if functions. Let me know what results you got!....

This bulletin is being revised to provide the latest service information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-08-52-001A.
Condition
Some customers may comment that the RKE key fob does not function, doors will not unlock from the passengers door switches, or the passenger door window is inoperative. This condition may be intermittent.
Correction
Important
For clarification purposes, the following information is provided. The components involved in this bulletin are known by various names. The Service Information Document ID #849813 refers to the component as the Door Lock and Side Window Switch. General Motors Service Parts refers to the components as SWITCH DR LK & SI WDO. Within this component is a micro processor that is referred to as the Passenger Door Module (PDM). Techline equipment refers to the component as the DMP Passenger Door Module. This bulletin addresses issues with the software of the micro processor in the Passenger Door Module (PDM).
Perform the following procedure step by step (do not skip a step) to determine the proper course of action.
Determine the production date of the vehicle by viewing the certification label on the driver's door.
If the vehicle's month of production is prior to 01/03, GO to Step 2
IF THE VEHICLE'S MONTH OF PRODUCTION IS 01/03 OR NEWER, THIS BULLETIN DOES NOT APPLY.
Use the Tech 2 to determine the PDM operational software release number and system calibration number.
With the Tech 2 installed and powered up, Select F0: Diagnostics.
Select model year: 2003.
Select light truck;
Select F1 body:
Select the proper Product line:
Select Passenger Door Module;
Select F1: Data.
Select F3: and record the "Operational S/W Part Number" here _______________. (If the "Operational S/W Part Number" is not displayed, go to step #4)
Press Exit Once:
Select F4: and record the "Cal Module 1 Part Number" here ________________
Compare the Operational S/W part number and the Cal Module 1 part numbers for the proper repair procedure.
If the Operational S/W part number is 15173756 and the Cal Module 1 part number is 15186199 or 15181562, use normal SPS reprogramming procedures to reprogram the Passenger Door Module (Techline refers to this as the DMP Passenger Door Module) with software from TIS version 2.0, or newer released early February 2003.
If the Operational S/W part number is 15191371 and the Cal Module 1 software is 15186199 or 15181562, use normal SPS reprogramming procedures to reprogram the Passenger Door Module (Techline refers to this as the DMP Passenger Door Module) with software from TIS version 2.0, or newer released early February 2003.
If the Operational S/W part number is 15202869 and the Cal Module 1 software is 15186199 or 15181562, go to step #4 below.
If the Operational S/W part number is 15202869 and the Cal Module 1 software is 15105148 or 15105149, the vehicle has the latest calibration release. Refer to Service Information (SI) for additional diagnostic aids.
Evaluate the vehicle options for proper operation from the PASSENGER DOOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY.
If the passenger door window and door lock function as designed, however the remote keyless entry system is inoperative, use normal SPS reprogramming procedures to reprogram the Passenger Door Module (Techline refers to this as the DMP Passenger Door Module) with software from TIS version 2.0, or newer released early February 2003.
If the passenger door window, door locks and remote keyless entry systems DO NOT function as designed, replacement of the Switch, Dr Lk & SI WDO is required. Refer to the Parts Catalog for the correct part numbers.
After replacing the switch, re-synchronize the RKE key fob. Refer to the Transmitter Synchronization procedure in the Keyless Entry sub-section of the Service Manual (SI Document ID #660745).
Know when to take it to the dealership, and say 'fix it'
It pays to have an idea about what the problem could be BEFORE you turn your car over to the masked-men.
When you say 'no power'; does that go for windows, locks, mirrors, seat heater(s)?

Also, the two keyless remote controls stopped working because of this door problem and I was able to reprogrammed them by following the instructions at this webpage http://www.ehow.com/how_6337935_program-entry-remote-chevy-suburban.html

Can someone help me my window-lock-mirror switches on the driver door don't work I don't have no power the only thing that works is the spiker but all the other doors work fine
If that is the case, the new module comes without software and must be programmed once installed in the car. That means you will need access top GM's programming website https://www.acdelcotds.com/acdelco/action/home as well as a compatible pass through programming tool which includes but is not limited to the GM TechII.
