Windows not working

Just a little thought.

This broken/ stretched and broken wire issue found in the door's wire loom (rubber boot) has haunted many. The biggest headache was figuring it out and locating it in most cases.

Seems that you too have stumbled upon this post which has helped cut down on lots of hair pulling outages.

The right tools and parts might make this a pretty easy fix for a mechanical/electrical minded person.

I am going make two possible suggestions where you might seek some inexpensive help.

1) Local Jeep Club- They are always tearing into their stuff, might want to "show ouff" (show their skills) to a "helpless" gal! (lol!)

2) Local high school (yeah?)/ technical college (more preferred) automotive sciences shop (you know what I mean). Many times they will work you in for the cost of parts (probably minimal if it is a broken wire in the boot) and sometimes they ask for a "donation" for the service to help out the school. The tech school shop here wanted a whopping $25.00 donation after repairing an acquaintances vehicle. Things may vary depending on your location.

I am going throw in a third possibility, probably more expensive, but us Jeep people want things right! So this is the only way I can "anywhere" find "anyone" a decent/reasonable/ quality mechanic. To heck with all of that five star political/ survey junk filled out by people who cannot even pull their dipstick! My method puts you in touch with a "neutral" and experienced automotive industry kind of guy!

I try to send people to an inexpensive, but decent shop. I can kind of recommend a shop might near anywhere in the U.S. just by sending you to an experienced "car guy" who does not mind helping you at all to find that "special shop" whereas you might trust and grow dependent on in future years.

Let me know how it is panning out!

That is great!

Even though I jumped in in the middle of this thread attempting to help back in 2012. (I am a CJ guy)

Seems quite a few people have been helped by this!

I am going to make another request from the next person please snap a few pictures of the boot, the broken wire, the repair you made and please post them.

I think that would help motivate and explain things in a nutshell to the person after you!

Thanks,

The Medic

Check fuses, and make sure there is power to the switch.

You have the same symptoms?

What are yours?

This what MQUIN25 said a few answers above here.

"Thanks for the help. I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee and it had the same problems. Took it in to a mechanic who really does good work. Kept it for a few days and said I needed a drivers side master switch. I took it home read this website found the orange and black wires on the passenger side broken. Spliced a short wire into the broken wires and everything works. Inside lights. Remote key, all windows and locks and lift gate. What a great website."

Also in the reading of other postings this was not the fix for everybody.

MQUIN25 found 2 broken wires.

Could be a bad switch, maybe broken wires, maybe the wire broke inside the insulation and it's not obvious. Could be that this is not the correct approach for your symptoms.

Do you know how to perform a continuity test thru wires? (This would reveal a break/ an open circuit)

I may can help you with this test if you are lost.

This sounds like a door latch is not working right leaving the interior lights on. It will probably be the drivers door because it gets used the most. One of the micro switches inside the latch has gone bad.

It sounds like the BCM is having a problem which controls both the Fob and windows is your Jeep a 2004? I need to know so I can get you more information on what to check.
