Consumer Description

WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN DOOR AND BODY ON DRIVERS DOOR SUSPECTED DUE TO MULTIPLE COMPONENTS RELATED TO DOOR NOT WORKING. FIRST FAILURE WAS THOUGHT TO BE DOOR SWITCH NEEDED REPLACING AS DOME LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN ON CHIME WOULD NOT SOUND WHEN LOCKING DOOR AND RADIO WOULD CONTINUE TO PLAY AFTER DOOR CLOSED. 5 MONTHS LATER THE POWER WINDOW FAILS TO OPERATE. (FORTUNATELY IN THE UP POSITION) EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASED ON VEHICLE, WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN DOOR AND BODY NOT COVERED. RESEARCH SHOWS MULTIPLE OTHER CASES OF PROBLEM BEING IDENTIFIED HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F1C2EEA THE WIRING HARNESS IS EITHER TOO SHORT OR INSTALLED CORRECTLY. I WISH TO BE SURE THAT A REPLACEMENT HARNESS DOES NOT EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEM AS IT WILL LEAD TO A RATHER TOASTY EXPERIENCE CALLED A FIRE IF NOT REMEDIED. *TR
