My driver door switches work fine. Allthe other doors have lost power? 2004 Grand Cherokee.

The problem is a cut wire in the harness that goes between the door and doorjamb.

It looks like a wire was cut partially through during manufacturing. There is no way in my case that the black, heavy gauge ground wire broke from ordinary use.

Take the ground off your battery before you start.

Pull the snorkel from the door. Disconnect the harness. Slide the orange tab to one side and pull apart.

You should see one of the wires that were cut. If not, pull the inner kick panel away from inside the vehicle. You will see the bundle of wires that go to the door. Pull on each wire, eventually the broken one will pull out.

The wire may be too short to splice back together so use a short piece between the two ends to make the job easier.

Strip and splice the wire and run it back through the snorkel, splice the other end to the wire on the connection.

Reconnect the battery and test before you reassemble everything.

This looks like sabotage from the factory.
