Replacing Wire harness for rear door
Replacing Wire harness for rear door
So I got my windows tinted and apparently the guy broke my connection for the courtesy light in the rear door. Didn't realize until I purchased my led interior kit and couldn't figure out why it didn't work. Well a trip to the dealer and they won't cover it so it's either get the tint guy to pay replacement for harness $240 at the stealership or buy the harness myself and replace.
Well I decided to buy the part online and replace myself. I have searched the threads and got the info to get the door 90% off myself. Just waiting for the part to come in and will do it.
My question is does anyone know if the rear harness just is a plug and play replacement? It looks like it connects to the window control but I can't figure out where else it connects. Namely is it just a unplug from door grommet or what? Can't tell from any of these pics. 2013 tech btw

UPDATE:
Replaced wiring harness. Took about an hour to do the whole thing.
Everything works EXCEPT the damn courtesy light. Now I am questioning whether or not dealership just didn't want to bother addressing real problem and pawned problem off on tint guy. I have seen several threads about Multiplex controller possibley being the culprit. I tested the connection to the bulb socket and it is only getting 8V not 12V. Anyone know how to test if it is indeed the Multiplex. Could it be a bad ground? There is a grounding bolt right near where the rear harness plugs into door pillar. The main wiring harness that supplies power to the rear harness connects right at this location. Any ideas before I try a different dealership?
