Default window switch relocation

anyone seen a write up on relocating 97+ drivers door switch? getting sick of fishing wires all the time going from doored to doorless and vice versa, and just had the thought tonight to just move everything I can out of the front two doors. thinking i could get it down to just the power for windows/locks and the speakers and make my life much easier (plus i figure im just going to tear up the wires doing what im doing now)

I saw somebody on here once who cut holes into the dash to the left and below the steering wheel. It was neat but I would want it to look real clean if I was to do that.

I think you can make quick disconnects from a grand Cherokee.

Yeah Id definitely want it to look clean. Was thinking somewhere on the center console like on some other jeeps, but then I suppose I'd have the holes on the door to deal with. I guess basically looking for ideas at this point.

Door plugs seem like one of the better options, as I'd rather not have to connect/disconnect 40 or however many individual wires each time.

Yeah unplugging 40 individual wires would be more of a pain. I think there's a write up on grand cherokee disconnects. I'll look for it.

Thanks. Any idea what the official name of the door plugs are or part #s. Haven't had any luck tracking those down so far.

No idea. I'd just hit up the junk yard and start looking.
