This is too crazy. Has to be a short or bad connection somewhere is all i can figure. Can anybody shed any light on this?? Before you comment read my earlier post today to see what I already have done.

I want to tackle this tomorrow morning so any response is appreciated.
next time when you have the panel off, wiggle the connector body of the harness attached to the DLM. my car exhibited erratic window/interior light and window movement when the connection was wiggled.
I found bad solder joint in the printed wiring board inside the DLM.
reflowing the solder joint fixed problem.
