Part 2: F150 Electrical Repair Broke Door Jam Wiring https://youtu.be/UM7wZiyp084
It was me
Is it me or is there no sound
Hi Ray. Not to be pedantic, but wouldn't the wires break due to metal fatigue, not work hardening? I know "words"! Lol
If Microsoft owned part of Ford Motor Company that would explain Ford having issues with Windows . . .
25:35 muffled That's what she said!
I was waiting until you would unclip the door wiring from a pillar for repair.
Hey Ray see this all the time
And the rest of those wires are just a heartbeat away from breaking as well…😮
Wow, that is a level of patience, and persistence I do not possess, I would just buy a new truck. Great job Ray.
Good video as always ray Broken wires In the Door jam Sometimes you just have to remove the wires for better access. Good Diag 29:51 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Everything about how that harness is put together just screams Ford. I'm a ford guy, and i hate doing electrical on fords… Dont put the damn wire harness behind the E-brake lol
I have a 2002 Ford F350 super duty. My trailer flashers wouldn't work, and I traced it down to a wire between the fuse box in the cab and the relay box under the hood. In the middle of this wire loom that's all wrapped up that goes from the fuse box through the firewall into the engine compartment, there is one of those splices. The splice in the middle of that harness went bad. I just added another wire to bypass the splice and all was good. Good old Ford quality is job one crappola.
America cars are a joke. The japs and Germans use a sub-harness that is replaceable. Disconnect the sub-harness clip a new one in and done in 30 min. American cars it’s an 8 hour job with 25 splices lol
Would it be acceptable to bypass the broken wires by splicing in jumpers? 😮
Wouldn't it be easier to remove the door and fish the harness out of it? 😮
Good one. Ranks up there with. FUR MISSILE. such a l**
Ford's Better Idea!
Fords and their wiring hopeless
It's crazy that they run that many wires through a door like that. Of course thats going to happen. And when you work with electronics and you know there’s actually no reason too. It would have been cheaper and easier to run power and network to the door rather than sending 50 plus cables. But then you add complexity of another module. Also reliability of the module. And the quality of automotive electronics is about the same as a Chinese e-scooter 😂.
On some of our stuff we run over a fiber network and wireless network for redundancy. But sometimes over a standard bus network. Mostly due to the size factor and voltage loss. And to avoid noise on the network.
Speaker trim piece looks like it might go across the top of the speaker inside the door to keep moisture off.
Had a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee that had couple broken wires in between the door jam in the door sleeve a few days ago guys been running it like that for over a year. Three wires spliced back together fixed!
I went through the same thing with my Jeep. Power window stopped working. Checked the wiring between the door and the frame. Found a bunch of wires that were damaged. Repaired them. Found out I had speakers in the back doors lol. Fortunately for me, there's a connector for all the door stuff just inside the door. So I disconnected that and then fed that out without having to unplug my speakers, windows, locks, etc.
Ivan from PHAD already had a similar problem a while back, he explained it well.
Honestly thought you lost your mind pulling all that wire. Figured you wouldn't find a break…but you found multiple. Good job, Ray. Wish I still lived in the Bradenton/Sarasota area.
Limburger or Blue ?
17:38 1/4 speed…. Looks a peice of tooth went flying out….

did something similar on my tacoma, had aftermarket alarm/remote start. it was dying on test drive, and it drains battery so i decide to take it out myself. with a 10mm socket and a flashlight. had to take most of dash including speedometer out trace wires, have some more to go found out why stereo/headunit didnt play any stations getting new 1 of those and redoing entire dash with leds and have to repair fan in truck too
Thanks for sharing a great video
Note to self: door wire life expectancy is ~16 years.
I had the same issue with my truck … 2011 f150, I cut all the wires and spliced in silicone coated wires.
Question; Is it advisable (when making electical repairs) to disconnect the battery to repair/replace broken wires?
You're amazing…copper is notorious for work hardening
Been there and done this many times. Nothing like standing on your head in a cramped area that stinks. And usually the dinger is going off the whole time you are trying to diagnose. So glad I am not in that field anymore. Props to all those who stick it out and make a lifetime career out of this. Wasn't for me. It is what interested me more.
That customer better include a generous tip!
made it
When you're doing that stuff in the footwell I get a crick in my neck, 'cos I'm trying to look round the corner in case I can see better — and then I realise what I'm doing …. ! 🙃
Being a retire atm tech, I come across power loss issues most being 24 dc that opens the safe doors scess. Usually the woke order indicates that the armor can not open the safe for replenish the cash. I found out over the e years that certain atm manufacturers zip tie cables too tight, which over the years the cables brake doe to wear and tear. A unfamiliar tech would find no power and would drill out the safe to access the power supply. I would cut all the zip ties and fix the broke cables , issues resolved. Saving the bank time and money without drilling out the door for hours. Cable management is look over too much.
Tune in next time for part 2, same Ray time, same Ray channel.
Guys, Ray's ability to read schematics helped him zero in…not hesitating on the dig saved more time.And lastly his physical dexterity and assembly familiarity got him inside fast.What you're seeing here is the best of this kind of skill set.
Terrible engineering. What they should have done was use ribbon cabling in that harness going through the door like they do in the steering column.
