'04 Grand Cherokee Electronic Problems

[phlax18]

I have a 2004 GC Laredo, the the power windows don't work, the interior lights never turn off...have to turn them off manually. The power door locks also don't work on the driver side....and the keyless entry locks and opens every door but the driver door...is it a wiring problem or a fuse problem...or what is it?

You probably have a broken wire in the harness going into the drivers door.

I have similar problems with my 2004. Dealer says the body control module needs tp be replaced

That could be the case,but I would take a look at the wires in the drivers door jamb.I see this a lot

I had the problem with the drivers door power lock (unlock) not working. It turned out to be a bad actuator inside the door. I guess the drivers door gets used a lot more than the other doors.

i agree w xj, i had this problem in my jeep. you just open the door, pull of the flange cover, slide it over to reveal the wires and look for the frayed covering. Mine was the ground wire. I just got a wire connector, spliced it together and then wrapped it w/ electrical tape. No problems since. Good Luck.

I have the same problem/ Started with key fob not unlocking driver door (this problem came and went for a few weeks) then interior lights not shutting off (also coming and going), now along with all others issues listed above...none of the power windows work and no remote mirrors. Vehicle just went over 70K when first issue arose. Does this sound familiar?

How do you remove door control unit from driver door?

Like i said before, try to undo the flange between the door and the car first (use a flat head screw driver to pry it off) and look at the wires, it may just be a frayed wire that you need to splice or just put tape around. if this isnt the problem then you need to get a special pry bar from a parts store to pop off the connectors around the inside panel (there is about 5-10 of them around the panel, and be careful b/c they break easily) and then you can lok at the connections for your locks and windows. Try the wires first though.

THANKS - ericpaul80 - hadn't had chance to try out prior to my post. Just had chance to look at. Removed boot. Found GROUND wire severed completely and two others crimped. Repaired and taped up, re-installed. All works fine. Thanks again. vbmenu_register("postmenu_5569361", true);
