sounds like your ground isnt grounding any more. check the terminals at the battery. do you have a sun roof? they like to leak and cause damage to wires and grounds under the driver seat area

Remove the driver'* seat (not a big job), lift the carpet and check the condition of all wiring and grounds under there. I'll bet you find corrosion.

That yellow connector is for the air bag. It has a safety tab that prevents accident disconnection. Pull the safety tab out and you will be able to get the connector apart. The safety tab is a narrow piece of plastic, and when you pull it out it will be tethered to the connector with a short plastic tether. It pulls at right angles to the direction you pull the connector apart.

Are the electric door looks working n the rear doors? If not, that will provide further support that corrosion under the driver'* seat has occurred.
Your driver window may be a separate issue.
There is a picture in the last post of this thread- may give you a area to look at:

Thanks for taking the time to update. I still take another look at the jumper junction connector under the drivers seat. You have to pull off black electrical tape to see it. More than a few of us have traced our no window or electric door locks to all doors except the drivers to that connection being corroded.
