Tesla model S Driver side complete failure?

[BrandonAllen21]

Yesterday I got in my car i noticed that when i tried to enter, the driver side door handle wouldn't come out, the back driver side door handle was also not auto presenting. I went on the other side of the car and the passenger side front and back handles were presenting . I crawled in to the driver seat by climbing 7
In through the passenger side door and i started driving home. On the driver side i noticed that my window was down. When i tried rolling up my window it would not go up, infact I was unable to control all 4 windows from the driver side control panel. It was as if i completely lost power to that door. Now i can no longer open the driver side door from the outside and the handle will not automatically go in by itself. I notice that when the driver door is open, i can still control the other 4 windows but as soon as the door is fully closed it loses power again. If anybody could give me some advice id appreciate it this car is ruining my life more and more every day with these insane issues that its having.

I had this a while back, it was just a fuse in the drivers footwell (RHD car), so I think it's passenger footwell on a US car. They are 3 pole fuses though so took me a bit of searching on Amazon to find one but then it was all fixed.

Hi Rob, I think (hope) that I have the same problem:-
Drivers side handles (front and rear) will not present.
Drivers door window and mirror controller dead.
I can open driver's door slightly from inside but the window glass is not dropping to clear the 'frame'. I'm nervous about forcing door open as it may damage the glass and will almost certainly be impossible to close again. I need to open the driver's door to access the internal fuse box!

Does this sound like the same problem? Is there a trick to safely closing a door where the window is stuck fully up?

Oh - this is a 2016 RHD S85D.

You might want to read this discussion, there are other links too. Make sure you read them too.

The same exact thing happened to my 2013 S85 about 2 weeks ago. It was the "left door controls" fuse. In my case, it seems the controller embedded in the driver's door handle failed. Luckily, after replacing the fuse everything worked except that door handle. While I contemplated how to repair it, I tied a string to the interior handle, around the window and tied it to the outside handle.

I was able to replace the handle with a new V3 handle and calibrate it in service mode. It took quite a lot of customizing the V3 handle to mount it properly.

The important point here is that the window switch works when the drivers door is open but stops working when it's closed. That means it's not the fuse. Almost certainly it means the front door harness has failed, there is a wire that's getting pinched or broken when the door is closed. The harness on any door gets a quite a workout.
