Faulty Liftgate Wiring

[Jeepster19]

As years have gone by the wiring on my lifgate has taken a beating to say the least.Where the wires pass thru the body to the liftgate for the rear wiper,defrost,license plate light and third brake light have become brittle and some have completely broken in two,no third brake light or rear defrost.I finally decided to remove the wiring harness completely and get it repaired.Total cost was about $65.$15 for the harness from the local pick&pull and $50 to take 2 and make one.Here are a few pics.http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/jeepster19/7fb35961b1ad29c5a815779fb7d3d779.jpghttp://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/jeepster19/149f8338364ccd2ccb2b3e6ee072be9f.jpghttp://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/jeepster19/66dedc1383e29610c6efa8bf3302f5eb.jpghttp://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss179/jeepster19/82651441b6052d6da0922b5488ad9983.jpg

That's kind of scary. I would have thought it would have lasted much longer.

I just had to fix the wire for my third brake light at the hatch.

I just rebuilt my rear wiring it is more come in I guess than people think. when I was picking up supply for it I run into 2 people in the parts store who had the same think going on. so it is fixed for now but I'm going to redo much better.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with the problem.The wires just fatigue over time from the constant opening and closing.:xj-black::D

Took a look at mine after reading this thread. Looks like this may be in my future. And what kind of bumper is that on the front?
