Thats usually a common mistake because its the driver side that gets used the most,also its the one that gets all the rain on it.
Pull the driver side and push the connectors off and on a couple of times to clean up the contacts and see what happens.Take a look for any corrosion or discoloration of the pins as well!
Another thing as the car gets older it tends to be the wires going through the rubber tube from the door to the car body breaking from opening and closing the door for years.

So after taking the door panel off for the hundredth time. I was wiggling the connector into the motor and it would work then stop. So I took the connector off and spread the pins out a little bit on the female side and the problem has been fixed!
