Default New type of door lock & Window issue.

Just did the jump out for the windows, worked perfect.
Now I am down to..
the pass side door lock..When I wiggle the unit or wires from inside the door panel, it clicks like crazy but no door actuation..any ideas?None of the power door locks work because of this.
Pass window wont move. Has power to one tab in the connector to the motor. Power on one side only and only in either up or down(don't remember)
My Guess is a new motor for the window and hopefully a new pass side switch.
Sound good or anyone have some ideas?

All of the control wires for the locks run through the rubber tube that runs from the drivers door to the frame. Peel the tube out of the frame and check for broken wires, you may have to peel the tube out of the door too. If you find broken or frayed wires you should solder them together and shrink tube them as opening and closing the door can loosen the connections again. Opening and closing the door over the years is what breaks the wires in the first place.
If the wires are good inside the tube you may have a problem with the wire harness that runs under the carpet right where you rest your feet. For some reason Chrysler engineers thought it would be a good idea to run a wire harness right where you rest your feet. You might have to peel the carpet back so you can inspect those wires.
