Ground Breaking Discovery! At least for me

I finally found the source of my constant driver's door problems. It acts stupid most of the time. It will think it is not closed and leave the lights on. It will allow the window to roll down but then not have the will to roll it up again (this is awesome in the rain). It has kept the doorlock button on the center console from operating normally also. The green window lock light blinks sometimes. That's when you know your day is going to suck.

The source of it is inside the wire harness plug inside the door hinge held on with a single 8mm hex head screw. The thing was riddled with corrosion!! How moisture got in there I have no idea. I just cleaned out with some aerokroil and a toothbrush and it is fixed.
