Today on Workshop Quick Takes (wqt): Modern vehicles rely on looms of wire that sometimes pass through flex points, such as door and liftgate services. The design of the transition determines how much wear and tear the loom can accept before wiring materials will work-harden and fail. At that point, accessories will stop working and extensive short-circuit damage can occur at unexpected locations throughout the vehicle.
Today, we look at the poor design of the liftgate loom on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee (XJ), which applies to many models in the XJ series and other vehicles as well. Many people have encountered this problem and repaired it to OEM spec, but we think the OEM design IS the problem. So: how we can we make it better than OEM? Join us for the process of upgrading the pass-through to a superior design that will prevent the same failure in the future.
