My dealer parts guy says the proximity caps have magnets in them to make the system work. He said he wouldn't think proximity would work with the standard caps.
That makes perfect sense: no different that the magnets that are in places in my home (door/windows) that close the circuit to security zones on my alarm system like windows and doors most commonly used by thieves to seek entry.
Speaking of the pins, does anyone know were to get the connectors for the body side of the door harness? They are the male companion from the door harness. I am adding Proximity to my Sport S and have added the wires to connector xy315a and would like to not have to add a separate weather pack connector for the Proximity like @JLMOPARMAN did.
Here is what I used. I can confirm that they do fit and work. I know that you can probably find them cheaper but this company worked with me to help identify the proper size terminals that were needed to add the missing sport s wiring.
Keep an eye on your BAM order status. I'm dealing with an unresponsive BAM for these exact parts. I ordered mine about 2 weeks before @Gregj. I got a shipping notification that made it seem like all parts shipped. I only got the 2 caps. I emailed them immediately, and they said the other parts were on backorder, but that they'd ship when they came in. 2 weeks later, Gregj places an order and posted in the forums. I let him know that the parts were on backorder, and not to get his hopes up. Fast forward, my BAM order still shows "completed" and I only have 2 of the 6 parts. Gregj apparently got *all* of the parts last week. so now I have 2 voicemails, and 2 emails to BAM since last week, and 100% radio silence. My guess is, their system thinks my order has been completed and shipped. meanwhile I've only got 2 door caps. I'll be honest, I've ordered a LOT from BAM.. but, I think this may be my last order with them based on the lack of responses to my emails and voicemails.
For clarification I placed my order with BAM on 6/13 received an email with backorder status on 6/15, received notice of shipment on 06/18 and received parts 6/24. On 06/17 i ordered the parts that were backordered from BAM from Thunder CDJR and have not heard back from them yet. Since I have most of the parts I went ahead and ordered the rest of the parts needed to put on My Sport S. I did the wiring needed on it yesterday and tested it out with the door from the other Jeep and it works so now I am just waiting on door handles and door harnesses for it to be completed.
Hmm, thats a possibility, maybe? My guess is, if they were willing to send a partial order of door caps, then they would have also sent a partial order of door handles when they came in.. rather than trying to wait for a complete order. From a purely logical standpoint, it seems they'd either be ok with multiple partial shipments, or holding everything until they had all parts in stock. If it's the wiring harness specifically, it seems a bit odd that they'd send a partial, and then try to wait until they had everything? Based ont he fact that my order status still shows as "completed" my guess is, they think I've gotten everything, and thus.. I'm "not waiting on any parts"
I can see that ship partial or wait for complete order issue going either way as they have no idea if the purchase is for a shop ordering for multiple jobs or one person ordering for their own vehicle. I know if I were a shop with multiple jobs on hold because an unrelated part was on backorder I would not be happy!
