I wouldn’t spray it with anything...at least not the contact areas. The only spot that may make it easier to feel the reassembly is on the white cam areas and the post that move in the cam slot. Me, I’d spray it on a Qtip swab and use tha to apply it to only those areas.Sometime in November, I noticed my automatic locks weren’t working in the vehicle. They worked with the fob or proximity system. I guess the last time I pulled my doors somewhere in October the harness pins wore out.
My dealership had to reorder the harnesses for both front doors. They finally came in this week and sorry OP but my dealership (Larchmont Chrysler Jeep) did it under warranty. They’re a great service dept.
Anyway, I said to the service manager “I love to pull my doors and hope I’m not discouraged from doing it”. He said “the Jeep’s designed for the doors to come off, use it at your leisure “. (Which is what I wanted to hear).
I’m definitely going to take an extra minute on each side when disconnecting/connecting the harness in the future just to make sure everything is straight so as to hopefully not have this happen again.
One question for you guys. Do you think it would be wise when the doors are off next Spring to lightly shoot the end of the harness that comes off with the door with a dry lube? It’s liquidy but would be dry by the time I reinstall the doors. I’m wondering if this would make the plug and connectors seat easier.
Maybe try one side to see if it helps for comparison.
