If anyone is interested, I have both front door harnesses which are wired for power heated mirrors, power door locks, power windows. These were pulled out of my JLUS when I upgraded to harnesses that support blind spot detection (WIP). I have the mirror jumpers, but no others.

Also have power heated mirrors available.

Howdy RocketScientist -- I'm interested in the door harnesses. I have a brand new "Sport" with power nothing. Ordering the factory power door lock latches.

I have the doors in, but have been unable to get the tailgate to work. I think I might need to buy a latch for the tailgate. I have a 2019 2 Door. Is there an easy way to figure out if it has a tailgate power latch installed already or not? It does have a 4 pin connector already that does not need to be replaced.

If it has all 4 wires going into it, it should be the Power Latch. where are you trying to tap into it?

 

[winkopp]

It does have 4 wires at the latch. I tapped into the two unused wires. I thought the other two wires were for the door open logic. The two wires I tapped into were Green/white and green/brown (I think from memory).

I check to make sure the other two wires are for door open logic, and they are.

I pulled the swing gate latch to check the part number. It is different from the part others have installed,
68282968AA

The part on my 2019 jeep is: 68283296AA, so I am going to order the new latch.

 

[RubenZ]

Maybe the 2018's had a overabundance of latches that they used the power ones for the rears. Or maybe because yours is a 2 door. Who knows what FCA Does.

 

[winkopp]

Well it seems the "Latch-swing gate" part number 68282968AA is no longer available any where in the country. My order at mymoparparts.com was cancelled. If anyone knows of another part number that will work or knows where to get the part please let me know. I got the other latches from mymoparparts without any problems, except some delays.

 

[RubenZ]

The part just updated probably. Maybe someone with Mopar service account can check on correct part by looking up a model from sport S or Sahara.

Just got the door locks installed as well as a switch for the driver door to unlock/lock on my 18 JLU and was told the rear latch didn't have power either. @winkopp did they tell you the part was discontinued?

Try these guys...

Tell dealer to look up part by checking the vin from a Sahara or Sport S with factory power locks.

Also, I’ve debated putting switch on driver door too. How much were those parts?

They installed a universal switch right by the driver door handle. They charged me 10 for the switch and another $20 for labor. I'll snap a pic and post here tomorrow. I'm sure they could have done an OEM switch if I had ordered one. But I didn't want to wait for it. It came out pretty good so I'm happy with it. They installed quick disconnects on all 4 doors as well.

Total was $460 for labor and misc supplies.

Nice

That install is very clean! Can you please shoot over the links for the universal switches used?
