Thanks jfroese0132,

This was the exactly what happened to mine. I'm at 100k miles. Guess the constant opening and closing to let the Mutts in and out, wears the wire to the point of breaking.

I also soldered the grey wire. Guessing it will hold up for a while!

I have Max Care, but the dealer close to me in Southern CA, San Juan Capistrano, is so busy and so terribly slow. I can predict this is how it would go.

I would set up an appoint for a Monday. Pay ahead a diagnostic $180 fee, Drop my Jeep off Sunday Night. Call them on Thursday and they would not have started it yet. the Following week it would be ready, Tell me it's not covered. After I ask them to check again and to spell my last name correctly, they punch it in - Hey it is covered.


I really Miss the Dealership in Marshfield MA......

When it stops working again I will order this one
