When Tom helped me out with the step bar install a few weeks ago, we sprayed white lithium grease down the door to lube the tracks but didn't take the door apart to do it.

    It's a good point that maybe the driver's side lock was fouled. If both door locks run through the same circuit loop, it's certainly possible that a loose connector in the driver's side door could disable both doors. Thanks LDub.

    Tom, maybe we can take the door apart in a few weeks to check it out?

    It's definately a WAG, but the possibility that came most readily through the cobwebs...

    Hope you find an easy fix...and speaking of easy, you don't have to pull the door apart to check the switch connections, just remove the switch cluster...
