Look to the wires between the door and the frame above the hinge. They break in the bend area some.

So I've looked at all the relays and fuses and I have had no luck fixing it. It's really starting to annoy me that it does this. If any one else has a solution please let me know

UR probably going to have to pull that door apart if U have power to it. If your DIY Electrical trouble shooting is lacking I suggest a Tech before Smoke-N-Joe gives U more fits.

It's all four doors, not just one.

Thanks Papa Tiger!

I pulled up the kick panel on the drivers side and closely examined the bundle of wires. I found some wires that were spliced together with electrical tape, not sure if this was done at the factory or previous owner, but everything works now.

That seems to be a common complaint when it happens. I wonder if it is "chain jerking" some ! U have to figure they had a problem, replaced the switch did some diagnostic work and didn't button up very well. : >/

Reviving this old thread. Today I have a little bit of time on my hands and was looking around on the Web and in the truck to see if I could fix my problems. The problem is, after I take my key out of the ignition, all my accessories are still on for 15 minutes. So I red online that you can disable the feature and I went to the settings of the truck and when I got there, it said data error. Now I changed around my relays to see if that was the problem and no luck. When I take out the relay every accessory turns off, until I put it back in. I've looked in between the door and haven't seen any bent areas in the wire (purple) . Any ideas guys?
