how I fixed my door lock issues with a new passenger side door lock / window switch module from Switch Doctor www.switchdoct... www.napaonline... www.12volt-tra...
“If you got an xj you know the doors can be finnicky” i didnt know til bout 20 minutes ago but now i did looking forward to doing this thanks in advance
Excellent presentation of the problem and the solution. Very helpful to provide links to the products you used. I just ordered them online. Will be doing this fix for my 2000 Jeep XJ Sport. Thanks so much!
Thank you for posting and your presentation with links. I just picked up a 2000 XJ today and it does have this issue. You helped me with not spending many hours researching the issue.👍
My door locks are hit and miss. I heard the clicks from the passenger door and found out about the switch module a few years ago then got too lazy to look up the parts. Thanks for the links and the quick video guide. It will make it a lot easier to get mine working again.
Well it worked for me, Nice. 1999 Tan Jeep Cherokee 2x4 Sport 4.0. IT also fixed the window, well kind of for the right front. It will go up and down from the master switch, but not up or down form the local switch. My guess is a loose or broken wire in that module cluster. Will look at that window some time later, but for now the locks work and the windows all work from the master control module. Next thing to trace down is the dash lights get out aka fuse #6 5amp. blows. Rumer has it that it is something to do with the rear wiper switch...Strange things could happen Heck I got married to a girl that came pre equipped with her new 1999 Tan Jeep Cherokee 2x4 Sport 4.0. Yes she has had her car/Jeep now for over 20 years.
Great video, I have 2 Jeep Cherokee Sports and will have to replace my switches soon. My door locks on both Jeeps click instead of locking. Thanks for posting. 👍
Gotta love the XJ’s or any jeep for that matter. I have a 97/23 that I’ve enjoyed for 11 years. Rebuilt motor, transmission and almost every part has been replaced. They are finicky like a woman sometimes, maybe that’s why we love’em
The door locks in the XJ are weird. They have that electric switch to lock the door but also that other lock above the handle. I was having trouble getting mine to work when I finally realised the rods leading to that switch were jamming up. Once I disconnected it, the door locked properly!
My power door locks work on all except for the drivers side rear door, would I just need to replace the switch on that door? Or could it be something else
Thanks for the video! I think I may have created this issue taking the panel on and off without the negative terminal disconnected.. I hear the click you are talking about. Would your rear windows work prior to replacing the switch? Also will the windows would the windows work? Thanks again!
The rear windows or any windows are separate circuit so they might work or might not. The drivers side controller child lock button sometimes is an issue, for 40.00 you can buy both and eliminate these. Another issue with XJs are the door wiring between door jam and cab. I think I've got another video on that. Hope this helps.
Would the passenger switch still unlock the rest of the doors? I ask cause mine does. Also the interior light on the door flashes while the ignition is on.
My driver side door lock works off and on, if it doesn’t, I can reach across and flip the passenger switch, then the driver side will work again? Think this will fix it?
Since this video, I suggest purchasing both the drivers side and passenger side switches from "the switch doctor " they work together and will probably fix your issue., you can get the set for around 40.00
Thanks for the video. I have a 2000 XJ and the locks have gone crazy.....they switch on and off nonstop. I pulled the fuse as a temporary "fix" and picked up a new master switch for the passenger side. Question.....does the key fob automatically work with the new switch, or does it need to be reset?
The key fob is not tied to the switches so it should still work. Just for your info the key fob is tied synced with a small PC board housed in the dome light fixture
@@MajorWeakness in the dome fixture??? Seems about right for XJ electronics lol. Half the time my wiper fluid light comes on I'm expecting there's a short for the power windows lol. Thanks again for taking the time to make, upload and answer out questions bud. Liked and subscribed. Cheers from Canada
@@MajorWeakness it's a 99. I think the reason it wouldn't lock was because the key was in the ignition. It's works fine when driving. Kinda makes sense.

It 100% works, you saved my Jeep bro 🔥

Happy Easter. Always something to do on an XJ but we do enjoy them. :)
Exact same symptoms as mine. Thanks for the overview on that will be trying it on my Jeep soon.
Hope it helps
@@MajorWeakness Problem is fixed, cheers!
@@zackfanelly7385 glad it worked!
Dude, just picked up a 2000 Xj and discovered I have this issue, going to order this and see it it fixes the issue! Thanks!
Glad the video helped...hopefully
@@MajorWeakness Ill report back when I give it a shot. Probably at some point next week. Thanks again!
Thanks again! Swapped it out and now works.
Glad it helped! I've got another XJ with the same problem, about to swap another!
I like the new radio!
Oh yeah! Great video!!

Yes they are weird, glad you got it working
@@MajorWeakness thanks…I guess it’s just a Jeep thing, lol.
@@officialWWM true!
Thank you for the vid!
The cc-150 does that same thing sometimes!
Is that the module that receives the remote signal?
No, the remote receiver module is actually inside the dome light fixture, see my video on this subject
ruclips.net/video/TIjVQbBWe0E/видео.html
My 2000 is doing exactly the same!
Nothing gets locked, so for my understanding the problem is that unit on the right front door???
Yes the passenger door lock controllers everything, it's the opposite if what most think
My power door locks work on all except for the drivers side rear door, would I just need to replace the switch on that door? Or could it be something else
Did u ever get it fixed

Yes the passenger switch can still unlock the rest of doors, not sure about the door lights as my 2000 model does not have lights on the door

@@MajorWeakness thanks, I already replaced the driver side, think it must be the other that’s causing it, hopefully no broken wires and all that crap

@@jalowey yes it is under the dome light fixture in 97-01 models
I installed this part and for some reason it will unlock but not lock. Any ideas?
Might be your actuator
What if the passenger side does not click
You might need a passenger side lock actuator and switch
What if only my rear passenger lock has issues?
Might be just the actuator motor in that door
Unfortunately this did not fix my locks :(
Must be wiring or actuator issues
I replaced the driver and the passenger switches and now the doors won't lock when the jeep is on. But works fine when the ket is off. Very odd.
What year is the Jeep?

@@VenomTT yes makes sense
how many clips come in a bag?
I believe 10
@@MajorWeakness okay. thank you
