Default Window + lock problem

When I arm my alarm it always locks/unlocks my drivers door but randomly will lock/unlock the other 3 doors. It used to work fine but now seems to be getting worse.

Today I put the drivers window down and now there is no power. None of the windows/locks work. Even when I try to put down the window using the REAR window switch it won't go down. But, the courtesy lights work.


I assumed it was the main plug in the drivers door that goes from the fender to the door, but why wouldnt the rear window switches work? I think it is partially the plug still.

Any ideas? I need to at least get the window up before tonight.

Was able to barely force the plug back together a bit more and everything works fine. I just need to find a better solution to keep the damn thing from coming apart.

I thought it was the plug but don't understand why the windows/lock won't work if the drivers door plug isn't connected. Oh well.

Everything is routed through the controls on the driver's door. If those switches are not connected, the switches on the other doors will not work either.
