Thanks Cherokee. Good idea. But I already bit the bullet and paid them to do the diagnostic. It makes sense that ddm module was bad, window, door latch, door lock and outside mirror all didn’t work and that module controls all of those functions.

Update on the Door Control Module (DDM)
They charged me $120 for the diagnostic scan. They did confirm a bad DDM, but as I mentioned before that DDM is part of the window regulator. Cost $280 on Amazon. I went ahead and ordered it and pulled the old one out. Less than 1 hour with help from a YouTube video. Now if I can just get it all back together when the new part comes in. 😄
PS, this was the same window module the same dealership replaced 2 years ago when the window motor went bad. $800 then. Ouch!

I do want to comment that the dealer mentioned they charged $75 to program the new module. Program? That had me worried. I didn't know what kind of equipment might be required to program the new module once it was installed. OK, pay attention... here's the secret $75 program.....after you install the new module and position the window back in place. Close the door, start the engine, push the window button all the way up and hold it for 5 seconds. Then push the down button all the way down and hold for 5 seconds. Boom! Programmed. 10 seconds = $75. Those "Stealerships" are really ripping people off in a big way.
Thanks for this forum, thanks to all of you who helped with advice, and I hope my little story might help someone else save some money.
