Only the driver side window seems to be working (4 door), all other
windows will not roll down. The driver side lock does not turn on or
off the alarm, only the right front passenger key lock activates the
alarm. Also the heater does not "heat" the blowen air. This all
started one morning, and not sure where to start to find out the
problem(s). Any help would be greatful.

Check the wiring for breaks in the rubber bellows of the drivers door.
Usually the sheathing cracks and allows moisture into the wire which then
eventually breaks. Failing that, you'll need to take the door card off to
check the wiring further inside the door for the same cause.

Not sure about the heater problem though.

Audi 100 what year / series?

If this is the T44 ('89 - '91) I would suggest fixing the broken wires in the
drivers side door hinge area (inside the rubber accordion looking tube). this
might also correct the lock.

Heat could be the controller for the heater flap. Controller is up behind the
glove box. It could also be due to a sticking heater control valve (just behind
the head).

The heater and flaps are also operated by vacuum so I would check to be sure
those lines are not damaged.
