Wrong Master Window Switch and Mystery Connector
Hello!
First time post...sorry it is so long, but I wanted to give everybody a thorough description of the issues before I started asking questions.
2010 Grand Caravan SXT with the 3.8. Power windows (Premium), power sliding doors, non-power folding mirrors.
We picked up a Grand Caravan SXT project van with a couple of window problems. Both front door windows were taped up into place and had apparently been that way for quite some time. The door trims for both doors were laying in the back and hardware was scattered everywhere.
We replaced the regulators on both sides and while we had the driver's door apart, we discovered that somebody had replaced the master window switch with the incorrect aftermarket part. Not only that, they had actually re-pinned the small connector to make it match the incorrect switch!
I believe I have the switch issue figured out and have both front door switches on order. I returned the pin configuration to the original positions for when the new switches arrive.
However, I am quite perplexed by one additional 2-pin connector in the driver's door that doesn't seem to go anywhere.
I followed the 2 purplish wires to the Drivers Door Module connector 5.
The two purplish wires on the top left are pins 6 and 7 of the 10 pin connector. I pulled up my trusty OEM wire diagram on AllDataDIY.com and found out that their wire diagram is NOT EVEN CLOSE to what I have here.
As you can see, their diagram shows a 3-pin flat connector, yet their description of the connector shows 5 wires. So, next I went to the Power Window Diagram to see what Pins 6 and 7 go to, and they aren't even depicted.
I guess at this point I need to see where I can access some actual Dodge wiring diagrams, because it looks like the aftermarket info isn't helping much.
So, 2 questions:
1: Does anybody know where this 2-pin connector goes?
2: Does anybody know where I can download genuine Dodge wiring diagrams?
Thanks for reading the long post!
