Not really TDI related, but my passenger front door is totally dead. No power window, lock, mirror, nothing. Fuses look fine. Has anyone else come across this? Any specific ground I should be looking for? I don’t have a wiring diagram

thanks!

Sounds like fuse right off the top, but if you say that's OK....physical damage to wiring? Rodents dining on your wiring?
If you have VCDS, see if the car can see the passenger door module? And errors?

How does the accordion boot in the door hinge area look?

follow up. Door module could not communicate in vcds, pulled the door panel, cleaned module connections, all is fine now
