What is the reason that the window and door locks fail to work on a 2003C5

The electric windows and doors fail to operate and at times the gages stop working but the car seems to operate normally.

Hi it seems like a body control module fault. Bring it to someone who can plug it in and diagnose correctly. Regards Jim..,

I have a 2005 Buick Terraza. When I put in gear and drive it starts dinging and indicates that a side door is not closed. They are and I have cleaned the contact plate.

This warning indicator is controlled by the BCM - body control module . You cant turn it off , you need to fix the faulty input switch that signals the BCM that the door is open .

My odometer, outside temperature gage, and driver electrical does not work

check fuses first they are an easy fix.
the chime is probably just the door switch wearing out
Check at the door switches to see if you have battery voltage.
then check to see if you have a good ground.

Electric windows not working but locking the doors when you push it

Had the same issue, both doors controls stopped working at the same time making the power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks all stop working. However, when the engine was off the door lock would work. It could be many things, but the fact that they all quit working at the same time suggested it wasn't an individual motor. I pulled the door main control panel and with a wiring diagram checked the continuity of each switch through the electrical plug out back. You can get the diagram off kiatechinfo.com

The main door control turned out to be good (expensive part). It wasn't getting power to the control, which meant it was either a broken power wire or a bad ground interrupting the circuit. The easiest to test was the ground. I ran a small wire from the negative battery and put it in the main ground wire on the back of "main door control panel". Worked perfectly on both doors. Apparently the ground for the door accessories are somewhere on the floor board, they corroded from a leaking sunroof. Never could find the bad ground so i just ran a new ground wire to it from the engine (drill a screw into body and attach wire)

Driverside door lock & window stopped working.

It may seam extremely complex this problem however its likely vary simple.What you need to do is fine out what works and what dose not . Dose the keyless work on other doors the battery is G or NG. You also mention the remote starter stopped working and D and P position no longer works correctly with the controls /switches in the drivers side door only' not the other doors ..
The control panel for the locks and window switches are on the arm rest drivers door it tends to get wet rain snow window open over time bad connections /switch contact and that is the point you need to look at first . Get some electrical contact cleaner spray into the switches not to much spillage use a tube or it may damage trim materials .
Then use the controls back and forth if you see any improvement of function starts /then stops any change you found the problem .Its in the door.
