Door wiring is prone to cracking with age. a few months ago, was out ripping some trails. I put the pass window down with the switch on driver side and all was well. A day later, put the jeep on the trailer to head home and couldn't get the passenger window to roll up.
Couple things came to mind. The rig is over 20 years old and the motor was likely tired. the passenger window's attitude has been in steady decline since I've owned the jeep, 8 years IIRC. I thought it had finally bit the dust. I also recalled pulling the window up with a friend holding the switch in 'up' position last time out.
So I tore into the door panel. Jumped +12V to the plug and lo! The window rolled up with ferocity and vigor absent in today's generation of young men, no this window acted like a real man in his fledgling years, aggressive and determined.
With the 'business end' of the door working in excellent condition, what can be done to simplify the series of plugs and wires in the passenger door? In my amateur judgement, I just need power coming from a 2 position momentary switch. Really only care about driver door controls, if the passenger can't agree with my window adjustments next to their seat, they can GTFO. The other 3 windows work fine from driver and their respective door control.
Anybody ripped the wiring guts out of the doors and made life simpler for window operations?
