When I first got my jeep a year ago the power windows didn't work so I went in to the door boots and found the broken wires, connected them and then everything worked fine. Yesterday I wired up some off road lights and ran some of the wires under the dash near the gas and brake pedals and today the power windows don't work; only the drivers side works(I can still roll all the windows down from the drivers side but each door doesn't work). So my question is could I have hit something when I was running wires under the dash?what would be the probable cause? Thanks!

Anyone?

Not trying to be smart, but did you check to see if you hit the window lock switch? Could be that it went bad also.

Yeah the window lock switch did work before this so I don't think that that is it but I don't know it could be. I'm goin to mess with it again tomorrow

Jeepxj1234

And yes I've done that before and the window lock switch is already unlocked haha that was te first thing I checked.

check the wires that you repaired in the past, maybe while pulling the fog light wires through you might have tugged on the harness and caused the crimped connector to fail

That's what I was kinda thinking. I'll try it tomorrow thanks for the replies.

Well I went over a bump today and all the windows started working again. I guess there's a loose connection somewhere. I'll deal with it when they stop working again but thanks for the input.

It has something to do with the child lock control. My xj did the same thing then I found a write up to bypass the child lock relay with a paper clip. 10 mins later all my windows worked and it was a free fix. Look for the write up. That relay is on the driver side behind the kick panel.

Alright cool thanks! I'll look in to it.

Just did the fix myself. It takes ten mins.

Remove the Drivers Side Kick panel.

White connector with Black, Yellow and tan wires...unplug so you have some room

Dont cut the wires...just take about a half inch or so of insulation off about two inces from connector on the Yellow and tan wires.

Twist the two together...its done easily without even cutting teh wires.

Wrap with electrical tape.

Your windows should work. This bypasses the window lock mechanism and then everyones windows work...but you can't lock the windows anymore....

Replace the kick panel...done!
