Angry Electrical guys/gals... I reallllly need your help

So for the past couple days I've een so busy and haven't had time to look into this myself and I started doing a little research and haven't came up with much yet but whenever I use ANY electrical signal on the drivers side (power seat, driver side window up or down, windhsield wipers) the "drivers side door" message pops up on the dash and wont let me use whatever it is that I'm trying to use. Sometimes it does let me after 1000 trys sometimes it doesn't. it's EXTREMELY frustrating and I even give myself some credit for not smashing the window yet because I've came close to the temptation.

This is definitely an issue somewhere on the drivers side electrical ONLY because the passenger side windows works fine (even from the drivers side passenger window switch).

Now in the electrical world this all makes sense but I haven't the slightest clue where to start looking..

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!:icon_ra nt:

Sounds to me like it might be a ground issue around one of the "brains" of the car. Those systems should have no relationship except for grounding.....just a thought.

Edit: Yup theres a decent size ground wire that I loosened which makes perfect sence as it controls most of the drivers side electrics. Let me know if you want a picture of the wire I'll post a pic (Probably uncommon problem though).
Thanks for sparking the brainstorm haha
