For the past few weeks my power door locks stopped working and keep blowing fuses. Pulled both door cards and checked all known areas. Fixed 2 wires and problem still exists. Not sure of my next move so here I am asking for help.

As of yesterday, most of my power windows stopped working. Drivers window is the only working switch. The really odd part is when I touch the 3 non-working switches my radio turns off then comes back on and my interior lights dim!

I'm thinking I need a new switch panned but before I pull the trigger, does anyone have any insight to what may possibly be wrong??

Thanks!

Did you check the drives door wiring that goes from the body to the door ? the wiring can brake there and short out .

I recently pulled my door panels for speaker, window, and power mirror issues. I found multiple old, dried out wires that needed replacing. You said you recently pulled your door panels, but my guess is you there is more bad wires if you are having stereo and interior light interference as well.

Before replacing the switch assembly, you can simply try heating the solder and adding new solder. I did that a few years ago and it fixed issues I was having at that time.

Yes, took the harness apart as well.

The passenger window started working again so I'm going to pick up a switch panel.

The real problem is the power door locks blowing fuses. I've checked everything from the switch all the way into the body and still haven't found anything...

Did you check the wiring at the top of the liftgate ? Wires sometimes get pinched there.

SeniorXJ

No. Are you saying the short can be anywhere in the whole jeep that would affect the power locks??

Is the ground wire from the body to the battery in good shape? A bad ground there would cause the lights and radio dimming when you try to draw a high load like the power windows.

I have a full audio system. The battery under the hood has four 1/0 grounds. The motor has four 1/0 grounds. The battery in the back has two 1/0 grounds. I'm very good with my grounds and wiring to say the least.

All the problems you mentioned went away. The only persistent problem is the power locks!
