This customer came in requesting to have his master window switch replaced based on the research he had done. I decided to check the fuses first and the driver door harness but then proceeded to install the new switch as i didn't see any problems.
I show you the 2 most common reasons the power windows in your 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee don't work and A faulty master switch can cause a multitude of other electrical problems in these rigs as well. `

Yes!! Jeep rolls up. Nothing works on drivers door: locks, windows, mirror, lites etc. Open the boot, splice the broken gnd wire. Everything works. 10 min. and done. This info is NOT in the repair manual. Saved me a ton of grief and time.
Thanks a million!
Watched your video.
Found broken wire at door opening. All fixed in ten minutes.
Great productive video.
Hope you feel good knowing you are helping out us Limey's across the pond.
Cheers Martyn. Cornwall UK.
Solid video, quick, to the point & no bs, wish you could do more JGC videos,, lots of easy things to DIY & make em purr,, nice work champ!!
Thanks man I appreciate that. Yeah I kind of shoot videos that are pretty random whenever I feel motivated or have the time. Work on all makes and models
just finished watching this vid and immediately went to go check my jeep and after 10 min i found out the prblm obviously it was the wires and fixed it in under 10 min thank you nononsenseknowhow
great video, started with removing the boot to inspect the wires and yep found it was my black wire.. so for now i spliced it and now everything works as it should, windows door locks etc..
thanks
Had similar problem,on my 2000 grand cherokee...and it turned out to be really simple. Battery connections. Mine are all new,nice and clean...but one of the wires was not making good connection. If you are chasing the problem of no windows working,intermittent console....clean and tighten your battery terminals. Could aave a lot of headache
Good luck 😎
I love people that do good videos. Just easy and to the point. Subscription earned
You were right on! After watching your video I went out and found the broken power wire in the door wire bundle - caused by the wire being worked/creased and over time failed just as you identified in your video. Repaired and returned to service in less than 20 minutes from start to finish. Very thankful to have found this video. I'm a new subscriber!!!
Awesome to hear the video helped out and thanks so much for subscribing
Thank You. Saved me Hundreds of dollars. I checked harness once quickly. After tearing everything apart I was about to order part when I watched your video. Rurns out my harness was broke farther in where I couldnt see at first
2022 and this video just saved the day. Broken positive wire on a 2003 Grand Cherokee. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you so much! Easy peasy, my friends groundwire had broken. We stripped the ends and used a B connector and it was fixed. This video was super helpful.
Clear and concise. Just the info I need. I'm subscribing, of course.
Great video 👍🏼👍🏼 I almost spent over $250 on the switches . I looked at the wires , and driver door had a wire cut into . Easy fix so far spliced it back together. Thanks for the video it saved me money for sure .
For anyone that thinks the pace is too fast, the settings for the video can be changed at the bottom of the screen to a slower playback speed. Just a helpful tip for all the newly independent people out there. Thanks for the great video. I sent it to my niece in college, who can't roll up her jeep window.
Thank you, sir, for taking your time for thoroughly explaining the "how". Your is the FIRST vid that shows HOW to unhook the door clips and HOW to take off door boot and HOW to replace master switch. I'M SUBSCRIBING!!!!!!!!!
No problem at all man, thank you very much for taking the time to comment. Means a lot to me and I greatly appreciate please subscribe!
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow You're very welcome my friend. Did as you said, checked ALL the fuses, OF COURSE they were all ok. lol Then checked the door boot and found 1 wire causing ALL my problems, fixed it and good as gold now! YOU are the Master my friend. Gave you an absolute Thumbs Up and Subscribe!!!!!
Thank you Bud, 4 years later. I've got electrical gremlins in my '01 grand cherokee. The more grounds I cleaned and replaced the worse the issues become.
Nice! Went out and fixed my windows in about 1/2 hr! Thanks! Subscribed!!
Man, thank you. The exact same vehicle and year as mine even. I have all the other related issues you mentioned as well. Not a hard fix at all thanks to you and you saved a veteran a ton of money doing it myself. Liked/subbed....
Awesome to hear, and can't thank you enough for that! Thank you for your service to the country as well!
Thank you for this video. Because I had the same problem with my Jeep. Checked those door harnesses and found the same broken wires and one that was about to in the driver door. Reconnected them and my back window ups again.
Thanks again 😊
I have the exact same problem. Found that the ground has a break somewhere. I took a pice of wire and stuck it in the master switch connector and found another ground - the ignition switch and everything worked but after watching your video I need to check the passenger door. Wiring diagram shows a ground there as in your video. Thanks dude good stuff.
Great video!!! Lots of useful information at a perfect pace, really, really appreciate that!!!!! (really) not wasting time with "fluff" , rambling on or other off topic babbling. To the point quickly from an obviously very good (very smart) mechanic! Thank you! (I rarely comment, only on top notch content, it is appreciated)
I had (4) broken wires in the rear driver's side door jam, soldered in new sections of wire and good to go, thanks again!
Got you, glad to hear the video helped you out and you got it rectified! Thanks so much for your feedback also. I greatly appreciate it
Really appreciate this vid my windows just stopped working now I know where to start without going to a mechanic.THANK YOU!
No problem. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Good luck on your repair. Let me know how you making out
Very good video, nice and short and "to the point... " thank you 👍
Thanks for the help!
Passenger windows fixed ✔️

Frayed broken Wire
Thank you I’m pretty sure you just saved me
At least $100 I appreciate you - Smart man
Exactly my issue with an '04 Grand Cherokee Overland. Thanks!
Thank you so much, i was absolutely clueless to why my wj windows werent working
Rite on man . Good info. Not to fast at all. To the point.
I had the same problem . After the second time I bought silicone coated ELECTRICAL METER LEAD WIRE. much more flexible jacket and the wire has more thinner conductors. It was a pain in the ass but worked good.
a
Great video exactly was goin on broken wires
Thumbs up 👍 this job gotten bigger ✅
Terrific video. Clear and on point.
Thanks tony!
Thumbs up 👍 sent in. And thank you ✅
Thanks! Bought a beater and had two windows not working. I'm going to check the harness. I'm certain that is the culprit.
Very helpful video. I would have thought it was the switch and probably would not have checked the passenger side.
Thanks so much, saved me some work and probably some boken clips lol
Great video. Direct and to the point. I have this issue, but haven't been able to find the break. I assume can be in any of 4 doors or rear liftgate? Also, should I cut boot(s), if necessary, to get access?
Thanks for a great video
Great video!!!!!
Thank u fixed mine immediately broken wires. Thanks

Great video I learnt a lot from it thanks
Thanks and that's awesome to hear!
YES! Thank you!
great video. those wires are big issue on my jeep kinda wish there was a better way to get those harnesses in there.
Just dealt with the same exact problem today, broken wires and all. And it had a 20 year old alarm wired into master switch harness and all the windows. All that fixed and still needs a master switch lol
Quick fix, thanks!
No problem man! Appreciate you dropping a comment
Huge! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video, thank you so much, I'm having a problem finding a store that sells the wiring harness, can you recommend a online store?
Thank you.

Good job on the video thanks
Thanks for watching!
right on dude! I already know this harness is garb. was thinking I was going to have to fix it myself this time (4th) time. but your vid makes it really easy... and for that .... I THANK YOU!
No problem! Glad the video was helpful
Thanks for sharing this with me my 04 wj has no response for windows or locks on either passenger doors I'm anxious to use your techniques and it's pouring down rain right now. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
No problem! I'm glad it helped out
Hey man thanks again it finally quit raining and I opened passenger door sliced open the rubber boot and there it was a fat orange wire with a clean break like it had been cut I spliced about 4" of wire onto the severed orange ends and VIOLA windows and locks work perfect on all doors and either switch THANK YOU SO MUCH. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
Thanks
Great video question though...what is the middle plug for on the window switch. I went to replace my switch and it's still not working and the middle plug on my switch doesn't match up with the one on the car but I have the oem part
Helped
Awesome! You move at my place...... that's rare in yt vids
Thanks, mine was the black wire in the harness
As soon as I look on the passenger side I found the broken black wire 😮 then I checked the driver side and I had two broken wires, the black one and the orange one . Both are the fattest wires in the harness, I put them back together and what do you know I got my power windows back working . Thanks for the info !
Yess!! This worked for me...
Great!
Great vid tho mate. Just picked up a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 2nd Jeep I’ve owned. Had a 77 CJ5 Renegade with the 304, Dana rear end. I had it hopped up a lil and setting in 4” body lift with 38.5” Gumbo Monster Mudders, and Ground Hogs. But, this 2004 is actually in great shape but a few electrical issues with the passenger side power. And the dash lights are extremely dim, and interiors don’t come on automatically. Ever. Any ideas? 😂. I did subscribe and I’ll be watching your vids. Cheers.
That helped thank you
Anytime man, thanks for commenting
@Nononsenseknowhow Hey man great vid thanks! I have replaced all my wires and the only thing not working is the lock switch, locking them to be exact as the switch works to unlock the doors but not lock them. All wires are good, all fuses etc I replaced the master switch box and STILL have the "lock" part of the lock switch not working. Any ideas man? Appreciate it!
Awesome
Thank man...
Get some 2007 jeep GC vids on here ;) mine is having leaking issues from the dome lights infront of the sunroof and now only the drivers side window button isnt working. .
I never comment. EVER. This was a great video and I think it will solve one of my issues. Next is the passenger side air not working. Joy.
Well I can't thank you enough Steve. Comments go a long way keeping me motivated to continue pumping videos out when I have time. Thanks!
Great video. Trying to fix my daughter’s Jeep. Same issue- driver front & rear windows work. Only the drivers side mirror works. And only the drivers door will lock with the lock button.
Nothing on the passenger side works- windows front & back don’t work. Passenger side mirror won’t work, and neither door locks with the button on drivers side or the passenger side button.
Bought a new switch on eBay & had the same problems. Found your video & watched it. I’m wondering if the harness on the passenger side Carries the power for for both doors AND the power mirror?
Also, the fuse block diagram in the owner’s manual does not list a fuse for any of the power windows or power mirrors. Or power locks. I tried to check those 1st before taking the door panel off, but no listing for any of them. Any advice on those would be great.
Hey thanks for the video, how exactly do I repair wires if mine is broke?
I just had my power windows/mirrors and locks stop working on the drivers side. The door lock works on the passenger side but even my keys can't unlock the driver's door.
What do I do
Your voice and the way you talk reminds me of Teddy off of Bob's Burger.
lol
Thumbs up 👍
So if idont see any obvious snaps in the door harnesses and the Fuses are fine, do you think it's the master switch?
I've check both wiring harness none of them are broken. Do the rear doors have the same issue or is it just the fronts?
Checked My wires going into the door one was broke and nothing worked. Everything worked perfect when spliced it....
Hope this helps.
Your video helped me. Question for you. I got power locks to work, but not the Windows. What does that mean?
Good to hear. Probably another broken wire somewhere. Check both doors
Hello what would you suggest if the white connector is backing off the window master switch ? If i press or hold it just so the window works . So i don't know if its the switch or connector or part number. If i did order a connector and it says right door do you think it would be any different than the driver side.I may try to test this some how by moving driver door over to passenger side and plugging into it and see if that backs out as well and works .Any advice appreciated thank you
zip tie or a little silicone sealant should do the trick.
Hey great video! If i reconnected a broken wire and have power locks and mirrors back, but still no power windows… could you tell me what the issue could be? Thanks!
Did you find the issue yet?
I have a 2001 Grand Cherokee that we pulled the entire dash out to do a heater core and evaporator the radio stays on when the key isnt on the parking lights are on all the time even with the key off the new blower motor wont run on high and the gauges wont work but if you fiddle with the turn signal /headlight switch the gauges come back and it will be fine a few hours then cuts out again. i replaced all the battery cables positive and negative all the way to the starter and the fuse distribution box the relays chattter on the inside fuse block at the same time its got to be a bad ground, i took a wire and grounded it to the seat bolt to the black wire on the blower and bam everything comes back but if i leave the temporary ground to the blower motor hooked up the blower only runs on high! The engine runs fine and starts fine but thats it
How do you pull that plug out of the door white connector.
How do I get the boot back on the wiring harness.
any chance on a tutorial on changing the shift selonoid?
Sorry no I don't
Is this the same for a Jeep Patriot?
Can you state an average price to fix this issue as I am not comfortable doing it myself and would like to know the average price before I shop around
I have an 04 WJ 2WD and Casper the Friendly Ghost keeps rolling down the drivers side rear window with no one touching any controls. It rolls all the way down just like the driver's control operates its own window. Never partally. If I activate the passenger window lock it doesn't do it, but if I unlock the pass win lock it's liable to roll down randomly again. Sometimes but not always I can get that window to roll down just by unlocking the Pass win lock. Fun and games. No other anomalies. The Jeep is otherwise perfect with just over 100,000 miles. Switch? wires? or exorcism?
We have a 99 G C and the windows will fail on occasion, We found that disconnecting the battery cable gets them to work again. Any idea what is behind that?
Is there a way to roll up a window manually? My driver window has been down for over a week and I took the door panel off and tried to pull the window up but it only went up about 3-4 inches and wouldn't go any more. None of my other windows will roll down.
If the motor is shot, there is not really a super easy way. On some cars you can cut the lift cables and then manually push the window up and secure it. Probably best to just find out why it's not going up. If it's electrical issue you could take the door panel off and directly apply 12 volts to the window motor
*DOOR HARNESS: dealer only? for 2004 Jeep door harness is ok need body harness connector would you know what part number that would be ? Thanks
My right rear window rolled down but wouldn't roll back up, can't even hear the switch click, so I'm thinking wire in the harness but don't know yet
Def my door harness. Anyone know where or can get one?
what about if i've checked the fuses and both boots and the orange wire gets power but rest of terminals don't light up when i test them. but i don't know what's next because i've checked everything and all windows still won't move
Honestly I wouldn't really be sure without looking at it. nothing comes to mind off hand
👍👍💯
