2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Driver side door switches are not working. Dome light doesn't turn off after doors are closed. Instrument panel lights aren't working probably. When headlights are on, can only get instrument panel lights on dim setting by putting switch to Off position. Otherwise, there are no instrument panel lights in any of the On positions. Doors do not lock when acceleration reaches 15 mph. Driver side door must be locked and unlocked with key. Have checked fuses and disconnected and reconnected battery with no luck. Which relay are all of these connect to?
My power locks, windows didn't work and the dome lights would not turn off after closing the door. I removed the black boot that was attached to the drivers door by lifting upward and pulling away from the door. A heavy gauge black wire was broken. I removed about 3/16" of insulation from both ends of the broken wire and connected them by using a connector that both ends are placed in to and then "crimped" both ends so the broken wire made contact with each other and everything worked perfectly! The hardest part was replacing the boot. Total cost to fix is $0.50.
I've had the same re-occurring problem for the same vehicle... apparently the cold climates (of Chicago in my case) combined with the frequent use of the drivers side door is just an issue that the Jeep folks did not properly engineer. I've done the "quick fix" to 3 or 4 wires now - they seem to break most during the coldest days of winter. I'm shopping for a complete new replacement wiring harness now. It's just getting a little crowded in there for my fat little fingers.
FYI: for the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo
THE JEEP/CHRYSLER PART # for the door wiring harness thingy is : 56042221AH
Dealer Retail: $204.00 ... or $147.62 through http://www.moparone.com.
I like the quick fix too, but too dang much trouble to fix yet another broken wire or two every winter...
We are having the same problem with the black wie and the orange--today--HA--say where did you get your new boot from for .;50 cents--Thanks,, [email protected]

The black wire going to the controls on the driver side door was sheared in half. If it breaks again, I'll replace the whole wire. Thanks TiisAu

The same thing is going on with mine right now. Did you figure it out?

There is a rubber boot about half way down between the driver's door and the body of the Jeep that houses a wire harness. After checking all the wires, I saw that my orange wire was broken. After doing some online research, I found that other JGC owners who have experienced the same problems have had a broken black wire. Check out the following:
