I have a 2024 Rubi X with BSM and proximity locks. I am buying half doors that are also equipped with BSM and proximity locks, but seller is not sure if they came off of a 2022, 2023 or 2024 model. Will I be able to just plug the wiring harness in from the half doors and the BSM and proximity locks will work, or are there additional modifications that are required?

They should be plug and play
Before I posted the question, I performed a basic google search and received conflicting answers. One answer indicated that for the 2024 model year, the door wiring harness is slightly different and “reprogramming is required to get the computer to recognize the half doors”, based on your response, that is not correct?? Thanks for your reply!!!!

If the mirrors have BSM and the door handles have Passive Entry, they should be plug-and-play. Just plug the doors in, and there shouldn't be any additional programming or modifications required.

mine is a 23 rubicon xr. I think the doors I bought were from a 24 gladiator. It was plug and play for me. Honestly I don’t lock it anyways. Too easy to break into with 1/2 doors.

Thanks for the info, they are scheduled to get delivered today. I’m having them painted at a body shop which has a great reputation. I almost fainted at the cost, $1k each to “blend the color to match the vehicle”.

The seller is driving 7 hours to deliver the doors. Although he assured me, they are in perfect condition, this is the only photo he sent. I did tell him the doors must be like new. I just noticed something in the photo, look for the black arrow. Because I have no idea what the hell I’m looking at, it does look screwed up. Does anyone know what the arrow is pointed at?

The last two doors (looking at the photo left to right) are the rear half doors, upside down. I would have expected to see black trim there, or at least an opening that matched the color of the rest of the door. Maybe they taped over that section?

That’s just dust/dirt on the door seal.

Did I read that right, $4k to paint them? Wow, I paid $1k to have mine painted. I stripped them down and took the painter four shells and eight hinges, I left them my cowl panel for color matching and they came out great.
