first post, hello all! just bought a 2000 sport (my first Jeep) and it has all of the classic electrical problems. I started with the By-pass and the windows work just fine, thanks for the tip. I am not concerned about the lock, so no great loss. I am however frusterated by the non working mirrors though, I need to get to that boot and take a look at the wires. My guess is that the mirrors are not working because of cut wires. any one have that problem as well?

Next I have to tackle the A/C problem. I have been searching the threads and I am uterrly confused. I have nothing, no blower for A/C or heat. Not sure where to begin, any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

The problem with my jeep was that the power window lock switch was messed up. I took the drivers side door module apart and sure enough the solder for this switch had broken (lost contact). I desoldered the old stuff and resoldered a new contact. Put it back together and it works great. the individual swiches were kind of a pain to get off the module but don't be afraid to get tough with them, they won't break unless you get ridiculous on em. Great detailedpictures at the link below.

I did the paper clip fix and it worked great! Thanks now I don't have to near can you roll my window down blah blah blah from all my passengers.

Oh and I noticed the passenger window goes up and down faster now. Must have been a voltage drop too.

 

Tried the paper clip into the connector on my 00... worked great! Can't believe it was that simple. A more permanent solution would be just to remove the tan and yellow wires from the connector and connect them together with a butt connector, but for the now the paper clip will do just fine!

 

I think xj2000 post should be put into a write up, if not already. did it once before and the paper clip fell out. had a fun time trying to find the thread again

 

Anyone try this bypass on a 94 xj??? I am going to look into this tomorrow after work.....

 

THanks for the suggestion. Where or how did you find out, which wire was for what? I could guess the broken one is causing the trouble, but what if there are multiple, like on the pic? Is the a diagram or something available?

 

Just see what color wire is damaged then find that same color wire inside the door. There isnt but so many places it could go. Windows, lock, speaker, or mirror about covers the options.

 

Going to do this tonight, hopefully all ailments are cured.
Thanks!

 

Since my kick panel was already off it only took a few minutes to strip the ends of a 3" wire, bend, and tape in place. Windows work perfectly from all doors and they are faster too now...WOW

 

Anyone tell me what this little guy is for? 99 sport

 

That is for the tweeters in the classic and limited. If you decide to get component speakers with the external tweeters you already have the wiring run, but make sure the wires are not broken in the boot where the splice was made.

 

Thanks xj2000. Easy to do and minimal effort!!

 

Thanks xj2000 works great.

 

thanks for the bypass. took all of 15 minutes. good stuff.
