After nearly two years of sporadic operation of the power door locks and intermitic power window control on the passenger side, I decided today to remove the front drivers side door panel and have a look inside since I will also install new speakers in the front doors.

While the have the panels off I want to clean and lube door locks and mechanism and any power window hardware that would benefit from a good cleaning and lubrication. I am planning spray some penetrating oil onto the locking mechanism, let it drip dry and then spray a liquid grease on them but I am open to suggestions.

I have checked for broken wires in the bellows between the body and door and found none. Am I missing anything shat should be done while the door panels are off or anything that should correct the problems with the power door locks and windows.

I have ordered a replacement passengers side control module and will be following the resodering procedure for the drivers side safety lock repair.

 

Reads like you have it figured out. The passenger switch and the driver side lockout.

 

Today I removed the front and rear door locks on the drivers side, sprayed them with penetrating oil, blew them out to clean and then sprayed them with lithium grease. While I was in the doors I cleaned and lubed the door push button and key lock.

After cleaning the lock assembly I connected the actuators to the battery, I do hear the actuator engaging but I would also expect to see the lock mechanism lock and unlock but it did not. Am I correct in assuming I should see the locks engaging when the actuator is under power? Perhaps the actuators are broken inside.

Power window channel. The channel faces the outside if the jeep so I used a mirror to look at the tracking channel, it is very clean, looks new but there is no lubrication that I could see, should this be dry?

Is there any cleaning/lube to do the power window motor?

 

I now have all windows operating as they should and the electric door locks are working on all doors and the hatch with the exception of the drivers door. I can hear the electronic mechanism working but there is no movement of the lock so I assuming it is broken inside. I ordered a universal actuator from amazon and will give it a try.

Repairs.
1) Drivers Door Control. Found window lock button solder cracked at PC board connection, soldered to correct.
2) Passenger door control, replaced.
3) Cleaned and degreased all door locks including push button and ley locks.

 

I just wanted to give an update in hopes that others with power window and door lock issues find these posts helpful.

My drivers door lock is now working. I bought a set of 4 aftermarket actuators on Amazon for about $16, I only needed the one but for the cost I just figured why not get spares incase I have later problems.

I followed the installation write up in the tech write up/how to section and now all is well. No more having to manually lock doors!

 

Mine come and go too in my '00. I have fixed most things on the Jeep. Bought it as a minor fixer upper. Neglected but not abused. Needed some TLC. Figured in the spring will tackle the locks. Was going to clean, lube, check connections, wiring, and see if I might have tweaked the rod when I was in there a couple times. Could you post a part # for the actuators you bought off Amazon, hell for $16 I'll try em, and a link to the write up? TYIA.

 

Go to Amazon and search B00P2KANI2 $14.85 shipped for a set of 4 if you have Prime.

 

If you want to truly fix the Windows you need to take the door panel off and take out the control panel for Windows and open it up and re soilder all the points inside. Did this a few weeks ago they work like a dream every time no issues at all. There is a video of it online just google something like jeep Cherokee XJ power window fix the right way

 

Thanks. Found the write up too in the Tech Section. Maybe in the spring.

 

If the problem is with the one door then check first all the locks whether they are working or not. If they are working then the problem must be in the solenoid and if not then check the fuse.I also have the same issue and after replacing the solenoid the issue resolved by local https://www.google.com/maps/place/Locksmith+Reno/@40.0776829,-122.0781746,7z/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sreno+locksmiths!3m4!1s0x8099156f37626e7d:0xc20685be8e7ecc71!8m2!3d39.455344!4d-119.759255.
