Default Trouble shooting help

I have a 2004 WJ special edition, today after using the passenger door the over head console said the door was open when in fact it wasn't. On top of that both passenger doors windows won't work, neither will lock automatically, the passenger side mirror will not move, and the rear wiper will not work. I am thinking it is most likely a broken wire but am not sure where to start looking for it. Any help in the issue is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ya'll

Start looking at the flex cable on the passenger's door jamb. The rear wiper is probably unrelated. I fixed my rear wiper by replacing the motor.

Seeing as Most of your problems are PASSENGER side, I would say check the wiring harness. Start under the hood and check everything under the windshield/false firewall. then under the dash in the passenger front floor boards.

All you need to find would be almost any damage to the harness. Check near any holes/passages through the firewall, near the belts, and also wherever you find the harness split. Left and right. There may be connectors or pinched/stretched wires near the split.

If you find damage to the harness, very carefully, dig into it and check the wires to make sure none are broken/shorted. Repair the harness with electrical tape, or at this point you could buy some replacement hosing at the auto parts store, hardware store, or probably best choice, ONLINE. You just have that pesky delivery!
