Thanks for creating this video. My 2014 has the same issue with only 70k on the odometer. Loved your comment about engineers. I am one and totally agree with you. Sometimes engineers are overuled by the bean counters. :(

Yep I got exactly the same problem on my 14 Sierra with 147,000 clicks. Winter driving and kids always going in on the drivers side. It all makes sense now. This truck is completely falling apart at the 9 year mark. Front Diff bearings, control arms, transmission problems, high pressure fuel pump, lifter issues, ball joints, wiring issues, its an absolute nightmare. Today the passenger air bag coded out. As a consumer I think we just need to unload these vehicles after about the 7-8 year mark.

Great video, Thank You! A couple of comments that may be helpful. Diagnosis: My driver-side door window would work intermittently. I found if I squeezed the boot between the door and the jamb while operating the switch, I could make the window work. Installation: Connecting the new harness to the door jamb (Not very clear in the vid). Make sure you pull the boot back beyond the connector (if you don't, the side of the boot may prevent the pink lock from closing). Push the new connector into its socket (you don't have to get it all the way in). Then raise the pink lock and you will see the connector get sucked into place. If it doesn't, open the pink lock and try again (make sure the pink lock is as far down (open) as it will go when you insert the connector). Then cover it w/the boot.

The Honda Civic & CRV door harnesses are prone to that (but usually doesn’t happen until the car is 15 years old).

All manufacturers using lighter wires due to lower current and they are all trying to save on every ounce or gram of weight. And copper is not free either. Thinner wires cost less. Phillip, do they just sell a pig tail and not the complete harness? Update us on the price if you wish. We know this wires breaking is common, but I have seen customers spend cash on new switches door latches just to find out later it was wires in the door jamb.

Release the rubber boot by inserting a small flat blade screw driver from the bottom. Slide the boot towards the door then unlatch the pink lever and unplug connector.

Wow, those are some really cheap components GM used. Shame on GM for skimping on wire like that. Terrible manufacturing practices, and I'm sure it has only gotten worse since 2014. btw, I assumed the topology feature on those Chinese scanners was a gimmick. but hearing you speak well of it makes me think they might have some value.

Because they are very low current wires they have reduced to wire size accordingly. Every manufacturer is doing it. I have changed door harnesses on Fords and Rams the same. Doesn't make it right but it is what it is.
