Default Driver's Side Mirror and Window Not Working

Passenger side mirror works fine. Driver's side won't work at all. I will add that often when I attempt to close the driver's side window it will go up about
half way and then go back down. However, if I hold the window button with my finger in the up position, the window will go up completely and close.

Maybe these two things are related??

Yes, both the side mirror and the window are controlled by the MPX door computer and those your problems are probably related. The quickest way to troubleshoot would be to replace it. A skilled person would check inside of it using an oscilloscope. I have experienced to fix it once but it was a time consuming job. The problem was caused by the oscillating voltage regulator.

Are there electrolytic capacitors in the door computer?

Yes, there are. As far as I remember, there were 4. None of them were QAS capacitors though.
