Could be wrong but I think that there are different fuses controlling all of that equipment. My bet would be the main harness connector coming loose in the door hinge area.

From the pic below (taken from Elsawin), you can see there's a big plug connector with a locking tag, that may have come loose and caused a bad connection within the door. Worth checking?

Yeah the big rubber boot you can see with the door opened.

I'll be honest and say I've never removed the boot myself, but looking at the picture I posted, it looks like the boot itself has a locking mechanism. Looks like you have to push down on point A (the arrow in the picture) to release the upper part of the unit ?
