My guess would be a red 4.0 mm wire broken in the accordian tube between the door and the body. DCMs usually stop completely, never to work again.

My door quit today. Had previously lost remote lock. Taking advice here, removed accordion boot and found two severed wires. I think this is the problem. Passenger side is good. Will splice extra wire lengths tomorrow. If no re-post, that was the issue(s).
