Consumer Description

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR ELECTRIC WINDOW AND DOOR LOCKS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY OR NOT AT ALL. I HAVE SOMEKNOWLEDGE OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SO I STARTED TROUBLESHOOTING THE PROBLEM. AFTER 5 MINUTES I FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM TO BE COMPLETELY BROKEN WIRES THAT ARE PART OF THE WIRING HARNESS RIGHT BEFORE IT GOES THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND PROTECTED BY A RUBBER BOOT/SLEEVE . ALMOST ALL WIRES THAT ARE PART OF THE WIRING HARNESS AT THIS LOCATION WERE EITHER BROKEN AS I MENTIONED OR THE INSULATION WAS SO BRIDLE AND CRACKED THAT THE COPPER WIRE STRANDS WERE EXPOSED. THIS IS IN A TIGHT SPOT AND WOULD BE HARD TO SPLICE. I TOOK A PICTURE TO SUPPORT WHAT I AM WRITING AND I'VE ATTACHED IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE HAZARD IF THE EXPOSED WIRES EVER COME IN CONTACT WITH CHASSIS GROUND.
