Helios you did flip the switch all the way to the left and not just to the middle positions didn't you?
Yes, flipped the switch to the left.
1- Have you disconnected the door panel for any reason? Could be a loose connection
2- Check to see if your VDI hinge has pinched the harness from the door.
No. I haven't disconnected the door panel. I wonder if perhaps rain/ water might have made the switch go bad or corroded the contacts for left functionality? Possible, but unlikely, I know.
I gave a brief look to see if the hinge pinched the harness. I didn't see anything, but I need to take a more thorough look.
