Ok this is my prob. I was installing new doors on my XB and I needed to lengthen the wiring harness inside the doors that lead to the kick panels. Well I re-wired everything and now my windows don't go up or down and my doors don't lock or unlock. When I go to wind the window down the LEDs in my air vents dim.

Anyone have any ideas? I am guessing the simplist answer would be I got some wires crossed up when lengthening the wire harness. Any idea what specific wires they might be? :?:

 

sounds like you have some wires crossed...

did you cut and extend the wires one at a time...
did you solder or crimp the wires...


sounds like somone did lambo doors......

 

I cut the whole harness and took the harness in my house and soldered extensions onto the harness. I then went back out ot my car and sat there and soldered each wire back onto the car.

The driver side door is the only one I did like this. The passenger side door I actually took the whole door off and into my house and soldered it one wire at a time.

So I am guessing the problem is on the driver side.

 

yup probably crossed wires

new doors? for what already ;)

 

ugh looks like during my lunch I will be taking my doors off and checking 500 million wires

"new doors? for what already ;)"

didn't like em ;)

 

Oh yea my trunk doesn't open either I am assuming this is part of the same problem.

 

it could be either door...

it took the better part of a day (6 hours) to do the one i did.
one wire at a time...no probs...

i would start with the drivers door only because it has more wires...
pick one wire follow it through , make sure the colors, stripes, dots are the same on bothe ends....

it will take a while, but it is fixable...
if i was closer i would help...

 

Yea its def fixable. I just have gotten tired of taking my car apart and putting it back together. its been apart more than together. I have about an hour durin gmy lunch I am going to try and get the passenger side done. Atleast investigation.

 

hmmmmmm

PICS PICS PICS

dont waste time take pics of these "new doors"
ooooooo you got me all excited for lookin at text :mrgreen:

 

Well I just got back from lunch. Sure enough one stupid wire wasn't grounded. (the one wire i didn't solder) lol Everything works like a charm now.

 

now just make sure the wires don't get pinched when you close the door....
it will mess up the fenders too.
