Question
QUESTION: I have a 2003 Chevy Suburban, the drivers side control panel on the door wont work, all the switches, heated seats mirror control door locks and window controls wont work. Any ideas?

ANSWER: Check all the fuses first then the switch itself.You may have to remove the door panel.Check all wiring and make sure the plug is tight.

QUESTION: I've checked the fuses and removed the door panel to check the connections, am i missing a fuse somewhere?

Answer
There are too many components for all these fuses to blow at once.You have mirrors,windows,seats,door locks.These will have seperate fuses.Using a test meter,check you have 12 volts going into the switch.Probe any terminal until you see power , earth the negative test lead to the bodywork.Probe the switch with the positve lead and if you have 12volts,its possibly a bad switch.
