My biggest irritation is that when the passenger door is opned nothing happens.
The window is supposed to go down slightly and then go back up when its closed and it doesnt.
Also the interior light doesnt go on.

Not sure what is causing this..... or even where to start troubleshooting,

I was hoping it may be something simple like a fuse, The passenger door works perfectly.

Are the 2 doors on diffrerent fuses?

I am comfirtable taking the panels off and am willing to try anything to pinpoint the problem...

Has anyone else here experienced this?

 

Welcome to the forums!

Having done the driver's side on Awesome I'm familiar with the why of this. The switch that says "door open/not" is in the latch on the passenger side, and the entire latch must be fully replaced with a new one. It will come with a new lock actuator as well, or did last I checked. Get the actual Ford part.

I'm sure that's not what you wanna hear, but it's the most likely thing. The other thing is the wiring between the latch and the body control module in the passenger kick panel, or the body control module itself has corroded in a way that's unlucky. You'll want to get the shop manual and do proper diagnostics, but checking the wiring is probably in order. May be as 'simple' as taking the door panel off, getting in there and disconnecting the latch connector for the switch, and jumpering it to see what happens.

Hope that helps!
