No power to rear driver side door ?

[BMWX5CHI]

Ok so it looks like I don't have "power" to my rear driver side door. When I open the door the open door chime doesn't sound nor do I see the open door symbol on my cluster. Window will roll up and down from drivers control and lock actuator works fine.

I am currently replacing the insulation on all doors and "Refreshing The Interior" from Black to the Montana two tone leather. The "new" panels I got have the illuminated handles. All of the little LED lights turn on except for the rear drivers side as that is how I found out there was no power to that door.

Any suggestions ?

Sounds about like my drivers front door. No power to switches, no door chime, opening door doesn't activate interior lights, no LED handle illumination. I disconnected the connector inside the rubber boot between the door and jam, and discovered one of the pins had some very slight corrosion on it. Cleaned it up, and it's worked ever since. IIRC, the connector bolts to the jam with a 10mm bolt that needs to be removed before you can get to it.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks. Going to check all door jam connections and clean them with this. Also noticed on the window module switches green stains on the end of the connections so Im going to clean those was well.

Never mind found out the problem. I need a new harness. Wires started to spilt inside the rubber and some wires even broke off. Jiggling the harness made the power cut in and out. Good thing is I found a used harness off a 03 for $19.00 shipped on eBay

Here is a picture of the damage. I cut the harness off as you can see because I didn't want those wires to start shorting out and create a nightmare but the arrow shows where the wires are damaged. Two of the wires were completely cut off.
