Default Re: H2 Passenger door

I'm going to suggest you come at it from a different approach here.......

When I have any electrical issue, it has been my experience to always try and start from the simplest issue and work back to the more involved. This is a more systematic approach to the problem. So, with that being said, why not start at the easiest solution and double check all the fuses again with a meter.

Fuses may "look" fine, but depending on where they break sometimes they can fool you. Its not often they break in the edges as they tend to break in the middle of them so you can see it easier. But a simple meter confirmation will definitely rule out fuses for you.

Next, I'd go with taking the door panel off (its not difficult to get apart) and check your connections of the wires to the switches. The OEM connectors usually have a clip on them that keeps them from falling out of their sockets but its always good to get in there and physically use your fingers and give a little wiggle or push just to make sure one of them didn't pop out some how.

You also could use your meter to test the continuity on each of the switches as well since your there. Use/add clips instead of probes on your test leads to help aid your process.

After that, look for loose ground wires. H2's have several grounding places that are used to secure/complete their circuits to grounding spots. Trace the door wires all the way through the door and also into where the wires go into the door from the lower kick panel. Pop off that kick panel and follow the wiring up into and behind the dash panel.

Hope this helps, let us know how things go. If this doesn't work, we can go further into it from there. At this point your basically looking for these issues:

*loose connections
*poor ground
*defective switch panels
*short circuit/pinched/exposed wiring

Good luck
