No, bad as he was, he didn't have much to do with getting us in hock to China. That was the Richard & Bill Show. Nixon started it, and Billy Boy really opened it up when he lifted restrictions based on their human rights violations, and gave them Most Favored Nation status, make them equal trading partners with countries like Japan, Germany, England, etc.

That's when the floodgates really opened up.

door locks/window switch troubles

I have an 01 xj that would while driving randomly lock and unlock the doors. The windows would work from drivers side switches intermitently. Took panel off passenger door, looked at where the electrical connector went into the switches and it was barely even attatched!! Pushed connector, which had the tabs that hold it on broken, and taped it with electical tape to hold it in place and havent had a problem since. I think that whoever put the new speakers in wrecked the tabs on the swithes while being to rough taking the door panel off.

I am going to replace all my wires to the speaker and window switch as well. What size wire should I use? I want to buy the wire before I tear it apart.

"I tested the new driver door module I bought. The window lockout circuit was broken. So that's why replacing it didn't help me. I am having it replaced under warranty and I should be good to go."

Hi Rotorhead:
Did you solve the window lock issue finally? I am having the same problem.

Thanks,

First part of this video??

After finding a pretty good consensus on the forums that it's the window lock switch, I was about to by pass it when I came across this video. It worked like a charm.

They guy in the video talks about a first video removing door cards & replacing the wiring.
My 01 has a none functioning window switch on the passenger front door for the passenger front window, but it works from the drivers side control.
the auto function on the drivers window doesn't work and a few days ago i couldn't open the drivers door, the push button didn't seem to be working??
when I got in on the passenger side & used the central locking button it opened and has behaved itself since.
I have a feeling that repairing the solder connections on the drivers door console is the way forward but would like to see the door card removal process first.

Windows:
The infamous problem with only being able to roll down the windows with the driver door controls. The small green LEDs in all the window switches are not lit. BOTH THE DRIVER DOOR CONTROL MODULE AND THE PASSENGER DOOR CONTROL MODULE HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW UNITS. I have pulled back the rubber boots in the doors and looked for broken wires on both sides. The only thing I haven't done (because I bought a new switch) was to jump the window lockout circuit at the plug in the driver foot kick panel.

I'm not sure what else it could possibly be. Am I missing something?

Locks:
My locks don't work at times. Sometimes the switch is completely dead, sometimes only unlock works, sometimes only lock works. And sometimes it works fine. On both door switches. And again, both the control units in the front doors are new units.

Something related I discovered today is that the door lock switch on the driver side (didn't test passenger side) goes completely dead if the door dinger/chime/buzzer/whatever you want to call it is active. My ignition switch must be worn because the dinger usually doesn't work. You have to press the key in and hold it to make the door dinger work.

Ideas?

Jiggle your key switch till you see the green LED light Then try it. My ignition switch was failing causing intermittent problems with accessory devices.
