FORD:

ISSUE:
Some vehicles may exhibit a loss of some or all power accessories to either front door. This can occur on some vehicles if the door electrical wiring harnesses are corroded at the connector located in the "A" pillar after extensive accumulation of mileage. Electrical systems such as power windows, power door locks and power mirrors may malfunction. This occurs because water enters the connector.
ACTION:
Check the electrical system fuses and check for a corroded connector at the "A" pillar. If the connector is corroded, replace the connector with a new pigtail connector.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Check for any blown fuses.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Inspect the condition of the "A" pillar electrical connector. Refer to Figure 1.
NOTE:
TO DISCONNECT THE SHELLS, PUSH DOWN THE LOCK LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE CONNECTOR SHELL AND SLIDE OUT THE DOOR HARNESS SIDE SHELL. REFER TO FIGURE 2.
4. If you find corrosion at the connector terminals, repair the connector by using the following repair parts.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Inspect the connector and wire terminal condition of the DOOR side harness. Replace the door harness assembly with a new harness if necessary.
2. Inspect the connector and wire terminal condition of the BODY SIDE harness connector.
3. Repair the harness by using the appropriate pigtail from the Repair Kit Application Chart. If only one or two wire terminals are corroded and the connector shell does not have any damage, pull out the damaged wire terminals from the pigtail and replace the defective wires with new ones.
4. Refer to Figure 3 for proper wire arrangement.
NOTE:
USE BUTT-CONNECTORS TO CONNECT WIRES AND BUNDLE THE WIRES BY USING PLASTIC TAPE.
5. Apply some Di-Electric Grease Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A) inside the connector. Refer to Figure 4.
6. Install the connector.
NOTE:
BEFORE INSTALLING THE CONNECTOR, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE RUBBER BOOT IS PROPERLY PLACED OVER THE DOOR HARNESS SIDE CONNECTOR SHELL.
7. Reinstall the negative battery cable and verify operation of all door accessories.
