I have checked all fuses and relays. It had started to kind of lose power but just every so often 1 time in 3 months. That was why it wasn't fixed I have lost a lot of my short term memory retention so I'd forget it happened. But then it go where it was on and off rapidly one day and after 20 minutes of driving home, I got out and tried to get back power but no luck. I visually and with meter checked all fuses. I need to fix the door pin it is sagging a little where do I need to check wires for breaks

Yep, so what happens is the power wire inside the door and the door jam becomes weak and breaks I would remove the door panel and the rubber boot between the door and the jam to see if you can find the damaged/broken wire. Here is how to remove the door panel in the images below.

Well, I appreciate you responding, actually I had just figured out there was a blue and black wire which both had been cut into completely. I just got. Couple inline wire connectors and cut the insulation of each wire back an inch on both sides. Then I slid both sides of same color into the connector and crimped both sides with the appropriate notch on my splice connector crimping pliers (determine what notch in crimpers based on wire size and or color of wire and connector). I also always cover each connector completely with wire electrical tape to ensure not to come apart during use! And I worked the boot back around whole bundle of wires passing through into the door. I zip tied both ends of boot I had cut off around wires and went around boot in couple places in center. Fixed everything on that door.
