Drivers door light says it is open ? Help me please ?
« on: December 08, 2017, 09:01:42 AM »

The overhead panel shows the drivers door is open when it is shut. Aso all the controls in the drivers door have stopped working at the same time !

I can't even see a door switch where are they hidden ?

are talking about your Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD .
there's a door control module that goes faulty. the switch is in the door lock i believe.

check the wires between the body and door (in the black rubber boot) you may have a cracked wire

Check them again. one of them is also causing your heater malfunction.

Thanks Mike it makes sense that it's the wiring as two failures at the same time seemed a bit of a coincidence the heater control and the door lock / panel power. The electric windows have also stopped working.

Is there a short loom you can replace easily or is it a matter of finding and replacing any broken wires as you find them. I assume it could be more than one. Any advice as to what grade / type of wire to replace any found broken ?

Thanks ted

IIRC you can take the loom out, I soldered all new wires in on mine, no point just doing 1

As soon as the warmer weather is here I will take a look. I have a feeling that there have been previous repairs to the wiring inside the door as when I replaced the door card clips a couple of years ago  as some were missing I could see some wiring had been badly taped up.
