When you unplug it your lights will not come on and it will be just like you have your door closed.

Ok I went out and took a picture to clarify this up for everyone. Find the plug in this picture behind the kick panel on your jeep and unplug it when you remove your doors.

It's not that hard I do this all the time on my 99 xj but all you gotta do is take the doors off grind the hinge pin out put the half that goes on the door on and put a bolt in wear the pin went there is no sag at all on mine and for the wires I jus unplug the factory plugs and feed them thru the hole and I have power everything

As far as finding the connector maybe try searching eBay for 21 pin harness you might be able to find something that will work. I couldn't find any grand Cherokee harnesses on there that had both ends of the connection. I also found out the zj harnesses are discontinued from the dealer and used to cost like 250$.

Just take a wrench and unscrew the button assembly, pull the plug off the back and you're golden. You don't even have to take off the kick panel. And I got plugs off summit , 2 12 pin plugs at my door for $25.
