Check the door wire loom, at the door hinge point, for broken wires and cracked wire insulation.
My son rescued his "dream car" Fahrenheit #1132 from some kid who used the car to learn how to mod cars in all the wrong ways. Example: he covered large sections of the exterior in plasti-dip, and decided to cover the fog lights with cardboard and dry wall screws. About 6 months ago we noticed that the passenger door window was taking longer and longer to to go up and down. He stopped using it while it was up, and saved up to buy a replacement motor. We replaced the motor, and it made no difference. I had my husband try to adjust the side view mirror and we turned on the stereo... nothing happened. There's no power going to the passenger door, and the display is showing the passenger door is open all the time. I'm female, but I've always had the ability to look at electrical components and they just make sense to me. However, there's too many possibilities with what the previous owner may have done. I removed a big section of the dashboard, saw where the bundle from the components in the door get combined with another bundle of wires that go down under the car seat, and up further into the dash board. Are there any tips or tricks anyone can tell me that "Should be checked first ?" It looks to me like everyone here knows there stuff, and the Fahrenheit is a unique model, I'll take any advice and be extremely grateful for it!!
So, the night before I had to take the car to our favorite electrician, I saw a buried article about the MKV wiring harness having a tendency to get damaged inside that rubber housing (allowing the wires to run into the frame and connect under the dash), and he found the damaged wires in their. However, the door is still experiencing some interesting quirks that lead me to believe the module either needs to be cleaned or replaced. However, when we went to go pick up the car, the ignition is now refusing to turn. It moves only the tiniest bit, but not even far enough to reach 2nd position (Accessories), and it was being a problem for the last month or so. It won't even turn on to run diagnostics. Anyone else have this problem?:iono:

I guess it's not your problem but sometimes with the steering lock you have to wiggle the steering wheel to get the lock to unlockSo, the night before I had to take the car to our favorite electrician, I saw a buried article about the MKV wiring harness having a tendency to get damaged inside that rubber housing (allowing the wires to run into the frame and connect under the dash), and he found the damaged wires in their.
