Default WG no power to drivers door, no windows, locks or mirrors

Ok, it's not the earth wire, it checked out fine. I had to run power directly from the battery to the window motor to get it to go up.
Any thoughts or suggestions on what it maybe?
I can't find the fuse or relay to suit. I know that sounds silly but it isn't labeled.

we had this problem twice... there's a wire(not sure which one) that gets caught and gets chopped in half...had the auto electrician fix it twice...first time was chopped completely and the 2nd time just worn through so it was intermittent....

Timbo I did a write up on this awhile back, it should be in the wiring in the door jam, the power wire will break you will need to put a new bit of wire in place, only about 4" need a multi strand bit though don't use the solid stuff and make sure your joins end up in the door/panel not in the closing bit, not hard to do but you will need to remove the kick panel next to the accelerator to get to the rubber boot which is a pain to put back in, you won't need to remove the door skin. So you will need about 4" of wire, a bit of shrink and skinny fingers would help not to mention a soldering iron .

And shock/horror I cut my bit of wire from an old 15amp extension cord and it's worked well.

Easy Fix, open door, pull back rubber boot, pull out orange clip holding connector block to door, undo 2 check strap bolts, remove 4 nuts holding door, repair cut wires,(mine was both power & earth) Hang door and re assemble, 1 1/2 hours max.

Thanks guys, found the problem. It was the main +VE wire going into the door.
Considering the earth wire went in exactly the same place a year ago it sort of makes sense.
Have it 1/2 fixed at the moment, just waiting for a mate to arrive to help taking of the door to get to it more easily. I'll then fix it and the earth wire properly.
Cheers for the help.

Done. But for some unknown reason the earth would only work when ran direct to the battery.
Weird?
