My passanger door latch seems to have broken or gotten stuck. First off it wasn't latching shut, stupidly I kept at it until it closed. Now it's stuck, I can see the wire at the inside latch is stuck in a half way position, but I'm not sure how to proceed. My front windows and sunroof are inoperable (actually the sunroof did open to tilt mode, leaving me with another problem) and I can't reach the fuse box because it's behind the door that doesn't open, and I can't do much about the latch without getting the window open! Any tips, I'd love to hear them!

Well, may not be a fuse issue, could this be the switch board that's at fault?
The drivers side window is dead.
Passenger window clicks when trying to close, silent when trying to open.
One rear window does not close, but does close with the switch on the door (it's always been that way)
The other rear window works fine.

I figured it out, a previous owner seems to have spilled something brown and sticky over the switches, so eventually it worked its way to the electrical contacts I suppose. Some electrical cleaner and prodding with a pocket knife and I have the windows working again.

Which means I could get the door card pulled away enough to see what's up with the door! Turns out the latch at the end of the cable for the inside door handle was stuck in an open position, so the door wasn't actually unlocking. Showered everything with some air tool oil spray (all I had at hand) and eventually managed to free it up.

I like when these things work out without my wallet taking a beating :)
