1997 BMW 528 passenger front door electronics dead shorted

The master switch from the driver's side powers all the doors and windows thru an intergrated module/processor

Fuses are in the glove box, did you check them?

Hey Doc its your kind of vehicles take it from here holler if you need me

sorry took so long to get back , went through all the electrical, no blow fuses, no shorts, saw that another pwerson has a 1999 doing the same as my 97, you suggested removing the door panel. from what i am told by BMW local shop this will require tearing up the panel to access the actuators and unlock the door and troubleshoot the rest of the electronics in the door. any better idea than tearing up a 500.00 dollar door panel.

That's my only way out of testing it, is to it take apart one way or the other it has to be fix-Sorry I have no other idea

If the door is completely dead and the panel might be damaged during discovery, try sourcing a replacement panel from a salvage yard. I am aware of what you are going through and I wish I had a magic bullet, but if the actuator is dead, there really is only one way to go, and that might require a replacement door panel. Try Autobahn salvage @ (619)444-2290, they do only BMW and PORSCHE.

afterlooking at the messages and looking at mitchell1 i registered there and looked over the wiring diagram. then went to ebay to find prices on the panels and parts. one thing to note the curtesy light still works. leading m,e to think its the door module located under the panel. thought Ford has some piss poor designs. but BMW takes the cake on this one.
The bulb is not bright

You said it brother. I wonder if anyone at BMW is listening to this.
