1997 grand cherokee power door locks
Hi again all,
Ok, Having a senior moment. A few years ago I was chasing a short that was draining my battery and was advised to try disconnecting the power door locks which ultimately was not the issue. Now, three years later I'm trying to reconnect the power door locks on the two back doors as well as the passenger side. I can't freaking remember how I did it!! I seem to recollect disconnecting individual connectors but obviously there not located in each door panel since I just removed a rear door panel and there was nothing accept the power window connection.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

The following comes from the '97 ZJ FSM:
"The Drivers Door Module circuitry controls the output
to the driver side front door power lock motor. The
Passenger Door Module circuitry controls the output to the power lock
motors for the remaining doors and the liftgate."
(1) If only one lock motor is inoperative, go to Step
2. If all lock motors except the driver side front door
are inoperative, the problem may be caused by one
shorted motor. Unplugging a shorted motor from the
power lock circuit will allow the good motors to operate.
Unplug each PDM-controlled lock motor wire
harness connector, one at a time, and recheck both
the lock and unlock functions by operating the power
lock switch. If unplugging one motor causes the other
motors to become functional, go to Step 2 to test the
unplugged motor.
(2) Once it is determined which lock motor is inoperative,
that motor can be tested as follows. Unplug
the wire harness connector at the inoperative motor.
Apply 12 volts to the motor terminals to check its
operation in one direction. Reverse the polarity to
check the operation in the other direction. If OK,
repair the short or open circuits to the door module
as required. If not OK, replace the faulty lock motor.

You are looking for a Pink/Black wire and a Black/White. Pnk/Blk connects to pin 1 of the door lock motor and Blk/Wht connects to pin 2.
