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.

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

i stand corrected your'e right its just frustrating to have such a vehicle with the options that you like not working. i probably should have just taken it to the dealer. but money is tight so i thought it was a easy fix but those who are trained right should ultimately do the work im sure theres quite a few indy guys out there that are just as knowledable. so as far as my indy guy goes he was a stealer lol.

Likely the switch is bad... does the switch still feel normal? Sometimes the bad switch doesn't have the "clicks" feel when pressing.

One thing you can do is either swap with a known good switch if you have a friend with an X5. Otherwise any shop with the same diagnostic equipment as the dealer (GT1) can look at the switch status through diagnostic requests to condemn/confirm the switch operation.

Oh yeah, WELCOME TO X5 WORLD!!!
