Throwing parts at it isn't the way to find the problem. It needs to be troubleshooted using a wiring diagram. If you have the tools and know how to read one, I will supply it to you.

If I don't have the tools I'll buy them. Please send. Thanks!

You need more than tools to do this but I'll post one.

I need the build date of the vehicle. It's on a sticker on the door/door pillar.

Okay. I'll have to look this evening when I'm home. All I know right now is that it's a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT. I'll reply again on Monday.

I need to know if it was built before 3/02 or after. The diagrams change.

Here's my thought: the ground wire in the driver's door harness is broke. You bend a wire hanger enough times and it breaks. I think it's the tan/blue wire. Can you confirm? I'm not sure, but I don't believe that would've changed after March.
