MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO WAS ACTING LIKE THE DOOR WAS OPEN (OVERHEAD COMPUTER WARNING DRIVER DOOR OPEN AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OUT), BUT WAS VISIBLY/PHYSICALLY CLOSED. THE WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS AND MIRROR CONTROLS WERE NOT WORKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE MAIN WIRES COMING IN FROM THE BODY OF THE JEEP INTO THE DOOR, (DOOR JAM/BLACK BOOT) IT WAS CLEAR WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THERE WAS A BLACK SEVERED WIRE AND A PARTIAL SEVERED ORANGE/WHITE WIRE. THERE WAS NO CLEAR SOLUTION WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED.
