A common problem in the 2004 jeep Cherokee is that the wiring that controls the interior lights and the power windows, breaks down. HERE IS HOW TO FIX IT
I found your video very helpful. Thank you ! But after working on my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee i found it was much easier to unplug the harness from the door, remove the interior trim panel and slide the whole rubber boot and harness through the chassis to the interior of the vehicle this gave me greater access to the wires and a lot more room to work . Reinstalling the boot was very simple .
I personally will send you that headlamp! You saved me $200 as well with this video. Bless you! I did my surgery like you did yours and now I gained AC controls back too. WOW... thank you!
Thank you so much! We had the exact same problem on my wife's Jeep. Power locks and windows didn't work. Also the interior lights stayed on. We had this problem on BOTH doors. Thank you so much.
You have to be kidding me!!!! The thicker black wire on mine broke along with the red/white wire for the left rear window. For the last few years you could only use the windows when the door was almost closed. fixed and now works like a charm!!! Thank you so very much! This was the first video I looked at too!!
Daughter just bought a 2004 last week, knowing the window switches were occasionally failing. Today, they stopped working completely and the interior lights would not shut. The system would chime when all doors were closed to alert the owner a door wasn't shit... I figured the wiring was gone, possibly in the boot, but didn't know where to start. One quick search and I watched your video... BOOM. Exactly the issue. Fixed it as you did (what a pain as the wire broke off so deep in the jamb!) and all is good again. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. In addition to the door issues being caused by the ground being broken, my hydraulic fan oddly recieved power again. I was about to get a whole reconstruction! Not sure how that happened, but it seems to have fixed several of the issues we were having!
im late but if you havent found a forehead light, i found a cheap one at harbor frieght for $2. they have more high quality ones for more $ but i found the $2 light works good enough and it came with batteries.. but great video, im going to be checking out my jeep for the wiring.. thanks
Guys, help me with this one: i have jeep kj 2003 2.8 crd. no matter which door i open dome lights does not light up but i get a message that a door is opened. door lock works, windows work, remote works... any advice ? could be this wire ?
Yup. When working with wires or nearly anything on a vehicle... remove a battery cable. Depends on model. Newer one with computers... can be messed up if disconnected. I am not a pro. Just a dude. That has fried lots of stuff for not disconnecting a battery.
Not necessary. It's not house current. I've delt with this before. (Hate that Jeep's have this problem) just splice and solder and you're good. You won't get shocked. It's 12v DC. Perfectly safe.
I'm having problems with my 2007 Jeep grand Cherokee I was changing my dome lights and the then the interior light didn't turn on and my radio won't turn off when I turn off the key and open the door
you do not have to cut the boot just push it threw you cave man my god stop hacking stuff up and take your time do it right you don't want the water or any moisture getting in where it can cause more damage

Thank you very much I found the problem in this sector of another broken wire, I'm very happy, thanks again.!!

OMG I love that guy! I want him for my mechanic! He seems fun. lol....
Anyway, thank u so much! Off to try to fix my drivers side lack of power!
Thanks for the vid grampa! Very helpful you made it look so easy!
Absolutely worked, super stoked!!!!!
Thank you so much! you helped me to fix this exact same problem
Hacks!, you can push the boot into the interior of the vehicle and get access to the wires, put shrink tubing on the wire before soldering.
Thanks very much as this fixed our problem perfectly!
I love this guy!! And good info I have this problem
I think that's what my Grand Cherokee has I'll have to look at it, thank you for sharing your video👍
Very funny and informative. Thank you very much.
im late but if you havent found a forehead light, i found a cheap one at harbor frieght for $2. they have more high quality ones for more $ but i found the $2 light works good enough and it came with batteries.. but great video, im going to be checking out my jeep for the wiring.. thanks
Nice job thanks 👍🏻
AWESOME! Thank you so much! Did the trick!
thanks. worked as you said it would
These videos so helpful.
please send a solution for ZZE122 TOYOTA FIELDER DOOR LIGHT MALFUNCTION WHEN ALL DOOR SWITCHES ARE OK.
Great job, my only suggestion would be to use shrink tubing instead of electrical tape. Have had this problem on both sides of my 2004 Grand Cherokee.

Thank you for having this it works ;)
I believe this has happened to my 2004 wj. Good video thanks.
Dumb question but do I disconnect the battery before doing this?
Yup. When working with wires or nearly anything on a vehicle... remove a battery cable. Depends on model. Newer one with computers... can be messed up if disconnected. I am not a pro. Just a dude. That has fried lots of stuff for not disconnecting a battery.
Not necessary. It's not house current. I've delt with this before. (Hate that Jeep's have this problem) just splice and solder and you're good. You won't get shocked. It's 12v DC. Perfectly safe.
I would. Always a good practice to remove the battery before working with electrics.
Wholly crap, that had apparently already happened to this truck 03 GC,& repaired horribly- beef it up if you can- Thanks for the post...
Thanks a million.
I did this and still having issues with lights not going off as well as the driver door not wanting work properly

This is what I'll be doing, again. Two wires broke right in the middle. I think it's why my battery keeps dying.

You stole my thunder, posted the same comment.
Great video,,,he's a funny guy, someone buy him a forehead flashlight,,lmao
What could be the problem with the interior lights do I have to check the same thing is it the ground wire that's on the driver side door
karetun dorost! hamin moshkelo dashtam man!
interior lights stay on and no window or lock control on the passenger side. tailgate won't lock either. trouble in the front passenger door?
I took off the boot and someone already has wires taped should I just go a head a do it myself AGAIN
Eric Garcia i opened mine theres tape. Looked in. The jeep there unclamped wires under the steering wheel.😂😂 i cant mess that up anymore than it is.
when I cap the wires do I tape it together
HOW DO YOU GET THE BOOT BACK ON THE WHITE PLASTIC PIECE?
Do you have to solder ??? or can you just tape?
My interior light is staying and can't get it to shut off is that the same issue?
Good job mister! I did the same to mine.
I hope your kids bought you that headlamp!
would this broke wire cause the ac to not work?
Yes
What's so freaking funny to the person in the background???
"Some people they'a dont like it, but I do" HaHa
You do not have to cut the boot !!
😂
Are you guys stoned?
Seriously...
Jeeps SUCK! Nothing but mechanical and electrical problems with my wife's 2007 Grand Cherokee! And the gas mileage is a joke! NEVER again!
