  1. Update: Located 2 broken wires in drivers side wiring loom Located cold solder joint in drivers side window module for the window lock switch. https://goo.gl/photos/wiQjBQKGKaTRGvxH8 https://goo.gl/photos/8VJN5ypEPRM7o7Y19
  2. I am working on a similar issue. 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport 1. Randomly the window switches from doors other than the drivers do not work. 2. Doors randomly lock when hitting a bump 3. Rear window wiper actuates randomly when hitting a bump 4. Front door speakers do not work. I found your article extremely helpful in laying out my troubleshooting tests. However I can across a couple of videos on youtube who's process I am incorporating into the process. As my window and door lock problem is intermittent, a short seems more likely than the PDM. Steps being taken 1. Remove passenger door card and examine connections to PDM (Complete - No sign of moisture or damage) 2 . Disconnect the wiring loom boot from the body and push it into the door to expose the wiring loom contained inside. (This prevents cutting of the protective boot and it can be re-used. (Complete) 3. Remove wiring loom fabric protective coating and examine wires for damage. There are one or two wires inside that have a hard plastic cover. Opening and closing of the door results in breakage at either end of this plastic sheath. (Complete - Passenger side appears to be in good shape.) 4. Repeat procedure on drivers side. - (In progress. It is 107 degrees F here in Texas today and I don't have a garage to work in ) 5. Once wires are checked and or fixed it will be time to look at the inside of the DDM. I have found a common problem where the solder joints connecting the window lock out and door lock switches fail where they connect to the printed circuit board. All connections on the circuit board will be re soldered for good measure. I just wanted to add those small parts about the solder joints being prone to failure and the known issue inside the wiring loom where the wires go between the body and the door, just in case it can help someone else find their issue. I will update with what I find in the driver's door wiring and in the DDM itself. As for the rear wiper going off when I hit a bump I am at a loss on where to start with that. any ideas would be helpful. Ken Camer
