I am thinking somebody hacked your wiring. But I am having a tough time picturing what you are talking about. The 2 white connectors on the right run down the passenger side pillar to the footwell. I always assumed they connected to something that is connected to the passenger side door harness or directly to it. But with the exception of those 2 white connectors there is no other wiring running down the passenger side pillar in the 2 '00's or the 3 '99's that I have taken that part out of. The 2 '00's being dome light ones and the '99 being overhead console ones. But the wiring is the same set up between the 2 just overhead wiring has more wires.

Now those 4 connectors coming out of the boot. Now the overhead harness might have connected directly to one of those but I never really looked at what I was plugging the 2 connectors into when I did the overhead console install. Judging by the length of wire coming out of the boot though I am leaning towards plugging into something that connects to the door harness. They don't really look long enough to reach where I remember plugging the 2 connectors off the overhead console harness into. But I can't be sure of that.

Picture is always worth a 1000 words. This is supposedly a front passenger side door harness from an '00 I found on Ebay.

I apologize for all the confusion. It is just when you said "The wire from the RKE board to the door lock switch in passenger door lock switch had a bad spot in it from a screw hitting it" all I could think was there is no wire that runs from the RKE directly to the door lock switch. Not that I have ever seen at least. I was all confused. LOL.

Old fart with a wrench
Just to confuse things, my 2000 Cherokee Sport has lighted vanity mirrors. Is that normal or part of a special interior group? It also has no overhead console. I'm going to miss the map lights in my WJ.
