Door Accessory Power Connector

[Luco]

I have had some issues with my power locks locks and proximity unlock on my passenger door. I disconnected the door accessory plug that you disconnect when removing the doors. I found several of the contacts bent and one contact fell out in my hand. I carefully straightened the remaining contacts or pins and plugged the door back in. Every thing was working except the unlock button on the inside of the door. This sure is a poor design for a plug that is meant to be removed and reconnected. I foresee many issues with this plug as time goes on. I have to assume this came from the factory this way since the doors have not been removed. My wife noticed the lock not working when I began investigating. I am going to request the dealer replace the plug since it has to be weakened from bending. I also sent a message to Jeep Cares regarding the crappy design.

The pin that fell out was probably the unlocking terminal... The plugs are a bit delicate and i agree to a weak design, but alot of people make the mistake of trying to push the plug together causing it to become cock-eyed and bend pins... You just need to get the two side circles on the plug into the slots and let the locking clamp do the rest

I have a similar issue - the power locks work from the key fob but not from inside the vehicle. I can't unlock or lock the doors from inside the Jeep (2018 JL Unlimited Sport with a 6-speed manual) using the buttons on the doors, and the doors won't unlock when I open the driver's door. I checked all of the UConnect settings and made sure the options were selected, and I haven't forced any of the electrical connections together at all. I will check the connectors and the harness when I get home tonight, but it seems to be a different issue.

Thank you. I have an appointment for September 5th at the dealership from which I purchased the vehicle. As soon as I get the details on the repair I’ll let you know. I’m assuming it’s one or more loose pins on the door connector.
