Not being able to lock, or unlock your doors from the convenience of a push button can be frustrating. If you have an alarm system that automatically locks and unlocks the doors, well it can be down right time consuming as you make you way to each door to manually lock all your doors.
My 1998 has had the typical issue where the locks wouldn't work. You would hear them clicking but something wouldn't cooperate.
One day I was trying to lock my doors, and it was doing that typical click click click, then it just stopped! I kept pressing the button and nothing it was just DEAD (or D E D, DEAD! as we say in Texas). The unlock worked just fine. A friend of mine say "it's a relay" which I was a bit relieved since relays are just plug and play. Not these!
He was right it was a relay, but these relays are special order and INSIDE the passenger's door panel. Read below and see.
Two relays part # JJM1-12V-H11
:link: (http://www.mistersprockets.com/jjm112vh11-p-12390.html) $7.50 each
** Sometimes I think this goes without saying but... You shouldn't attempt this unless you feel comfortable in what you are trying to do. You could very well cause this part to fail and have to replace it fully. You also could start a fire if you don't do this correctly. A fuse would probably catch it but who knows you might have foil wrapped around all of those! rofl.
The 4 relays I ordered came in today. (2 Jeeps, 4 relays. Besides it's a min $25 order)
I took the inside passenger door to expose the PDM. I removed it, popped the switch covers off and took out the circuit board.
The relays are the black square-ish boxes in the middle side by side.

Estimating where the back of the relays are I carefully cut a rectangle in the plastic.

Using a screwdriver I carefully pry up the plastic I just cut.

Then I remove the cut section all together!

Heating up the legs of the two relays and using compressed air to blow away the molten solder I can use a small screwdriver to unbend the legs of the relays then gently remove them from the circuit board.

I put the new relays into position.

SUCCESS!!!!
Taking the PDM back to the bench I put the plastic door I cut out and then use duct tape to secure it back into place. It is plastic and non-conductive so I really wasn't worried about critical placement. I can't think of any good reason that this needs to be covered back up but this looks a little more professional. ;)

Now I just took this and put it back in the inside door panel, hooked up the wiring and the manual lock/unlock rods.
Popped the door panel back into place, and put in the 4 screws that secures it to the metal door.
That's it! I have both electric lock and unlock again.
