unlock didn't work

[GuttaFixIt]

My unlock wouldn't work in my 2000 Venture. I looked under the rug on pass. side and found the wires. Just wondering if the factory used tape that looks like black duck tape to me. If so why not heat shrink? I posted couple pics with yellow and white (unlock) wires. Not sure what the yellow goes to but both of them were rotted.
The unlock works now. Bad place to put all those wires I think.

Wow! I have the same situation on my 1998 Montana. I peeled back the carpet under driver's side and tried to find the bad connection and I was unsuccessful. I will try again when the weather gets better. Good Job!

If picture 2 is the tape, it is NOT stock, someone probably spliced in for a keyless entry or something.....

I had the same problem on my 99 Venture a few years back and after reading this forum found the fix. Unreal that those wires are held together with just electrical tape. I'm a big GM fan, but this just screams of cost-cutting and shoddy work.
