Exclamation driver side door problems

my drivers side window started acting up a couple days ago then went down and stayed down. i need help bad i went to a indy to get it fixed but now i have several problems 1) my airbag light came on and 2) it seems the one touch operation doesnt work going up and 3) when i hold the remote to lower the windows all go down except the drivers side 4) the power locks now are starting to work off and on 5) sometimes the drivers side switch does not open any of the windows until i jiggle the wires in between the drivers door harness if any one can help before i go to dealer i would greatly appreciate. i have searched the forums and the only one i saw was the door handle replacement which did not help

i would start by isolating that switch. Did the indy take the door panel off?

yes he did he said he could fix the problem but as im reading on i think i got riiped . he just replaced everything back in and it started working except the one touch mechanism going up and the drivers side door lock wouldnt work while using the key fob all the other three doors would work.

as far as i know he didnt i was relatively close to him he did take the regulator out i assumed he was testing it because when he put it back in the window worked it wasnt until i left that i realized the one touch operation didnt work at that point i tried to open the windows by holding the key fob and realized all worked except the drivers side window. and it wouldnt lock the drivers side door

is it possible that all the lock problems are connected to the window problems

Well this is kinda pointless unless you going to try to do it yourself. If you take it to the dealer you know they have the parts and experience to fix it. If you try yourself there are always SRS reset tools floating around on ebay. Like I said try isolating that switch and report back. While your at it R&R the negative terminal off the battery and see if you get some better responses from the FOB.
