      Dang it, Ray!
      Every time I hear someone say "the door locks" I mentally play that clip from Jurassic Park.
      Add that to "gravity", "Silveryrado", and a few others.
      You're getting in my brain!!!

    Have an 2009 F150…knew exactly where the break was! I’ve fixed so many breaks in these flex door passageways! Locks and speakers going out. Mine had a rigid white plastic stiffener along with the wires….they would break at the end of the stiffener. Great design!

    I have installed complete wiring harnesses over the years. And I’ve had to troubleshoot wiring issues. I have had to remove the complete dash to get to some wires. People don’t appreciate what it takes to troubleshoot and repair a wiring problem. You did an excellent job, and whatever you charged wasn’t enough.😁

    • @MonkeyJedi99
      @MonkeyJedi99 2 месяца назад +2

      My previous car, a Saturn S, developed a no low-beams situation.
      I checked the appropriate fuse, then all the fuses, replaced the bulbs, cleaned the contacts and applied dielectric grease... nothing.
      I ended up, after an hour and change with a Haynes manual and a voltmeter, finding that there was an open in the fuse block.
      -
      I lacked certain tools to make the fix, so I had my mechanic turn the daytime running lights into my low-beams circuit. I gave him a wiring diagram for the fir, including what circuit to eliminate and he added a jumper.
      Et voila! properly functioning headlights!

    That can't be how that harness goes. Typically at the factory the doors are off and sent to a subassembly area where everything is put into the door shell. The door goes back on and then the harness is shoved through the hole to be connected to the body harness under the dash. That is how we assembled them at DSM/Mitsubishi in Illinois. Can't believe Ford has an entire harness with no connectors to separate the door from the body.

    Fluke makes back probe adaptors TP88 that install onto the tip of your existing probes so you can more easily back probe connectors. Fluke also makes TL910 DMM test leads which are more flexible than the stock probes and also have length adjustable probe tips which are good for back probing and also probing module PCB circuits.

    RRR, some of the king ranch editions have "rain close mode" option. When the rain detection solenoid/sensor detects rain, it will signal electronics to close any open window and sunroof panel. You showed the control panel for sunroof missing. My '09 was reversed. Everytime I washed the truck the windows went down and sunroof panel OPENED!! Sensor is located in drip panel passenger side by wiper shaft/drain hole.

    It's also known as "metal fatigue", first time I've heard it called "work hardening" but it makes sense to me.
    Nothing worse than the adhesive holding that plastic sheet behind the door panel, it stays wet and sticky for years and gets everywhere lol (it's like putty but stickier).
    All those grommets, where's "Wallace" when you need him?
    One of the worst things about working on anything in vehicle panels is they're exceedingly sharp and can cut you by just looking at them let alone getting wrist or elbow deep in the blighters 😆 🤣 😂

Found out I had speakers in the back doors lol. Fortunately for me, there's a connector for all the door stuff just inside the door. So I disconnected that and then fed that out without having to unplug my speakers, windows, locks, etc.

    Wow that harness is like the first thing put in. What a pain to remove (and reinstall). The worst kind of repair. What I do is to find the broken wires and push through new ones to replace them and splice in at each end, one splice in the door the other in the kick panel for each broken wire. That saves a little bit of the work.

In the middle of this wire loom that's all wrapped up that goes from the fuse box through the firewall into the engine compartment, there is one of those splices. The splice in the middle of that harness went bad. I just added another wire to bypass the splice and all was good. Good old Ford quality is job one crappola.

    My 2010 f150 king ranch had that problem but with the rear doors, driver rear had 3 broken wires in that corrugated pass through. Very tight wires. I soldered/heatshrink in an extra 2 inches of wire on all broken and 2 more that were barely hanging on. No issues since. I had to carefully cut the rubber corrugated tube to get to the wires, then replace it back and tape it up. A KNOWN F150 issue on those pass throughs.
