I have this problem with my WJ. I have watched a few videos on how to do this repair and this video makes the most sense to me. So many people cut the boot and even one person did the repair with house wiring marrettes. Now I know I can pull the connector into the cab and not fight the wire in the door jamb. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Only 266k on the clock? Just getting broke in! I'm closing on 280k and have had to repair wires in the driver door several times. Getting ready to do it again with that kit from Rock Auto. Not looking forward to soldering 10 wires cramped up under the steering wheel, but we do what we gotta do! Thanks for the video, shows me I did earlier repairs the hard way (didn't pull the flex boot back through the bulkhead).

Excellent content...loved the technique... my 2004 is now experiencing the very same... didn't know how to remedy it. But this was epic.

I think you made the best fix I have seen on the WJ! Did that take care of the intermedentant instrument problems also?

Dealing with this myself right now. Looks like the red and black was already redone, hoping I can at least get my windows closed tonight.

Good job Sir. It took some time but you did quality work. I have the same problem, I’ll let you know how I did. Thanks

I noticed one fix where a guy just removed both plugs and installed newer, longer wires, put them in 1/2 loom and back into and through the rubber, and soldered them together on the other end also. I guess the only issue comes if you have to take the door off or replace it right? Do you see any issues with doing it that way? (I know you wouldn't do that for a customer, but it's my rig!)

Damn you Chrysler! Had a '94 Grand Cherokee, got rid of it in 2018. Bought the 04 WJ, and the first thing I noticed was that boot. Knew this was going to happen, Why do these idiots keep re-inventing the wheel. .

How to disconnect wires from door and pull through to inside of Jeep? Maybe easy but confusing to me. Thanks.
@daviddawson77415 жыл бұрын
That's great information, but how do you undo the wires to begin with? I already slid the red tab up, but it still won't come undone. That was a vital step that was skipped in this instructional video.

I also need help with this part of the process. Spliced a couple wires in the past on my 04 but cut the flex and and was tough to work between door jamb.

After two years of spending money almost every month to fix "something else!" on my WJ, this is the problem that finally broke the camel's back for me. I have zero tolerance for a car that breaks by just looking at it. It is now being pulled apart at the local junkyard by other poor saps who bought these POS's. If they are smart they'll be sending their WJ's to the yard in the not-to-distant future.
