Sounds like you are having changing levels of problems with more than one component... with the only coincidence being that they are both in the same door. I'd check the main plug connection to the drivers door for any signs of water ingress and/or corrosion. It is in the door jamb right under the upper hinge and unbolts with a 10mm.
