sorry it is a 05 aviator
 






I don't know what a "moudro sume ware" is but an Explorer would have broken wires in the wire bundle that goes to the driver's door.

is there a body module ore computer i have look at the door wires they are fine if you lock the door from the pas side it blows the same fuse you can use the power door lock switch in the rear it works fine
 






There is no computer or smart phone app that checks for broken or shorted wires. You just have to get in there and dig until you find it. I would say, "Start with a wiring diagram" but the idea that the mirror switch has an effect on the door locks tells me it's a problem in the wiring. Those two circuits don't touch in my Explorer and I don't know why they would touch in your car. That's the obvious place to start, and I always start with the obvious.

Take off the driver's door interior panel and move the rubber boot out of the way to inspect wires in the hinge area.

i have had all the wiring out of the drivers door my lincoln has memory mirrors seats there must be a memory module i think under drivers seat i have not taking it out yet
 






Yep, I'd check wiring under drivers door hinge boot. there are several 12 gauge wires constantly being bent at a 90. eventually they will fatigue
 






BTW, I do like the comment about there being no app to troubleshoot it.

i have had the hole thing out of the door it is fine
 






If this year vehicle has a GEM module, I would start looking there. Lots of info about water leaks dripping down the a pillar to the GEM and causing a lot of electrical nightmares like this.

From what I read it is located at the rear of the interior fuse panel, under the dash.
