So with the summer weather, I decided to take off my doors. I unplugged the harnesses and labeled each one. I took them off and put them on before with no problem. However after connecting the harnesses this time, the dang power windows won't work. I mean none of them. I tried all the fuses and they are good. Anyone know what I might have done? Keep in mind this is definitely my first XJ. I'm very green.

Also, is there an easier way to make all four harness into one harness connecting from door to fuse box instead of having the separate ones? Thanks!!!

Yea, I think that is what I'm going to have to do. I did find some sweet write-ups that helped me figure out how to make the doors easier to take on and off. I'm only 5'4 with 37s so it's hard for me to take doors off. Thanks for looking!!!

In the driver door sock(black sock between door and fender well) You will find that the black and or pink wire has broken from age. These wires become brittle with age and just break. When you loose everything in the driverdoor, windows and locks it is more than likely the black wire which is main system ground

You're saying that the pink or black one might have become loosened. I'll go back over those. Thanks for the input. Also, do you think it would be best to get a 12 connector to make things easier? How hard would that be to rewire it?
