check the wire harness at the driver side door jamb for worn or separated wires. This area gets plenty of abuse and would be a good place to start.

Commom problem, easy fix, broken power wire in driver door bellow,

Hint: add additional 2" of wire when you repair, relieves the stress.
Check other wires and repair, same +2", if you dont, you will be back..

aqua is right, you have a power wire problem at the door jam. thats why it works when you move the door and flex the wire.
