#1 of 5 Door wiring harness problem by vice86 Jan 15, 2009 (10:19 am)
Anyone else experience this?....the wires that run from the door into the car that controls the windows, locks, side view and all that...a few of the wires actually came apart! Seems that a the whole harness was getting pinched as the door would be opened and closed until some of them actually broke apart. I soldered them back together and everything works fine now...but I've never seen that happen in any car before.   Started out with my lock not working...then my side view mirrors wouldn't go side to side, then a tweeter was out until I finally looked into it after the radio wouldn't turn off once you opened the door and wouldn't hear the warning chimes.

We had that same thing with our '06. Our driver window stopped going up and down and they found that the wires were breaking like you described. They said the harness was installed too tightly. They replaced our whole harness for free. We were just glad it stopped working when the window was up! Replies to this message: vice86 (Jan 28, 2009 12:19 pm)

Replying to: Canuck30 (Jan 28, 2009 12:01 pm) Dang...you got lucky then that it was under warranty...as for "installed too tightly"...that sounds like a problem from the factory that should be fixed if a lot of people are having the problem. My dad ended up ordering the harness BEFORE taking the door apart and realizing he could fix by himself....and getting stuck with a 195.00 harness that can't be refunded...D'OH.

I had this same problem, power window on the driver's side stopped working.   I was under warranty and had the harness replaced on my 2007 Torrent.
#5 of 5 Door Wiring Problem by caubrey Aug 22, 2009 (12:14 pm)
I have a 2006 torrent and my door lock quit about a month ago, and now my power window quit. I read your tip about checking the wiring going onto the door and BINGO i had 3 wires completely broke and 2 more on their way. Reconnected them and everything came back.   Should'nt this be a recalled item? it sure is a design flaw   Cliff
