I have a 2018 Rubicon build date 9/18.

It’s not the same plug for the door latch. I hope I’m able to buy a pigtail. This is harness 68299333AF.

Tried installing and it appears that it’s a different plug for the door latch! Urghhh

Since it lists your other part number as suppressed, my guess is, they are simplifying they SKUs and moving to a single harness for each door.

I had this issue with mine as well, but didn't realize that both sides had different part numbers. Try switching each harness to the other door, if you bought the two part numbers.

After a couple hours and 2 broken extractor bits. I got it all back together. No idea why those were so fused in.
I had this happen to one bolt as well. I took the whole window track, and everything attached to it, off the door and drilled out the bolt on my work bench. Added about 30 minutes of work. Luckily my spare bolts bin had one that fit. Sucked but worked out pretty easily.

Do the wire colors match up? Assuming the top connector is the new one and has five wires instead of four.

Like @jeepster345 says, you have the driver and passenger door harnesses switched. I got out my old ones and that plug is different. Drivers door has five wires and the passenger door has four in that plug.

I have all the parts except the wiring harness. Im going to just wire up my own harness. I found the plug that goes in to the handle online after lots of searching. Im wondering if anyone has any experience on here doing this and what kind of pins i need for the plug that fits under the kick panel.

Someone had mentioned a few days ago about breaking the bolt and yes the driver side bolts for the windows was a pain I thought I would break them. Whenever I felt tension I would turn the wrench the other way and finally was able to loosen. It had a green loctite it looks like.

Another issue I encountered while installing was the harness to the door handle. First, I left the harness to the door handle hanging down but whenever I would roll the window down it would push on it. So I learned to tuck it towards the door latch and make sure it clears the track when the windows are rolled down.
