      Yes!! Jeep rolls up. Nothing works on drivers door: locks, windows, mirror, lites etc. Open the boot, splice the broken gnd wire. Everything works. 10 min. and done. This info is NOT in the repair manual. Saved me a ton of grief and time.
      Thanks a million!

    I had the same problem . After the second time I bought silicone coated ELECTRICAL METER LEAD WIRE. much more flexible jacket and the wire has more thinner conductors. It was a pain in the ass but worked good.

    Had similar problem,on my 2000 grand cherokee...and it turned out to be really simple. Battery connections. Mine are all new,nice and clean...but one of the wires was not making good connection. If you are chasing the problem of no windows working,intermittent console....clean and tighten your battery terminals. Could aave a lot of headache
    Good luck 😎

    You were right on! After watching your video I went out and found the broken power wire in the door wire bundle - caused by the wire being worked/creased and over time failed just as you identified in your video. Repaired and returned to service in less than 20 minutes from start to finish. Very thankful to have found this video. I'm a new subscriber!!!

I had it hopped up a lil and setting in 4” body lift with 38.5” Gumbo Monster Mudders, and Ground Hogs. But, this 2004 is actually in great shape but a few electrical issues with the passenger side power. And the dash lights are extremely dim, and interiors don’t come on automatically. Ever. Any ideas? 😂. I did subscribe and I’ll be watching your vids. Cheers.

The engine runs fine and starts fine but thats it

    I have an 04 WJ 2WD and Casper the Friendly Ghost keeps rolling down the drivers side rear window with no one touching any controls. It rolls all the way down just like the driver's control operates its own window. Never partally. If I activate the passenger window lock it doesn't do it, but if I unlock the pass win lock it's liable to roll down randomly again. Sometimes but not always I can get that window to roll down just by unlocking the Pass win lock. Fun and games. No other anomalies. The Jeep is otherwise perfect with just over 100,000 miles. Switch? wires? or exorcism?

    Great video. Trying to fix my daughter’s Jeep. Same issue- driver front & rear windows work. Only the drivers side mirror works. And only the drivers door will lock with the lock button.
    Nothing on the passenger side works- windows front & back don’t work. Passenger side mirror won’t work, and neither door locks with the button on drivers side or the passenger side button.
    Bought a new switch on eBay & had the same problems. Found your video & watched it. I’m wondering if the harness on the passenger side Carries the power for for both doors AND the power mirror?
    Also, the fuse block diagram in the owner’s manual does not list a fuse for any of the power windows or power mirrors. Or power locks. I tried to check those 1st before taking the door panel off, but no listing for any of them. Any advice on those would be great.

      At 2:50 you can see their ground wire was broken off. For me, it was the stripped red and white one near the green wire. I bought my car used, and someone had already crimped the wire and that's how it came loose. I was able to get it back working, and if I have to I will replace the whole chain of wires. I am going to see how long this lasts. Thanks again for your videos. They do help years later.

    How do you pull that plug out of the door white connector.

    Is there a way to roll up a window manually? My driver window has been down for over a week and I took the door panel off and tried to pull the window up but it only went up about 3-4 inches and wouldn't go any more. None of my other windows will roll down.

      If the motor is shot, there is not really a super easy way. On some cars you can cut the lift cables and then manually push the window up and secure it. Probably best to just find out why it's not going up. If it's electrical issue you could take the door panel off and directly apply 12 volts to the window motor
