WIRING HARNESS

DESCRIPTION

The wire harness supplies power (12v), ground and
various electrical signals to the side sliding door for
various power door functions. A plastic chain or wir-
ing track covers the wire harness assembly (Fig. 16)
and is used to protect the wire harness from abrasion
and/or tangling. This wiring track is replaced with
the wire harness assembly.
The wire harness assembly is a replaceable compo-
nent. Consult your Mopar parts catalog for specific
part numbers.
