This is what I've used before
http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=70082997

It is just an empty shell, so you'll need pins (http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=70083346) and sockets (http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=70083349).

Now, the pinouts...
Mirrors - 3 pins (LR / UD / Common)
Speaker - 2 pins (+, -)
Tweeter - 2 pins (+, -)
Window motor - 2 pins (reversible B+/Gnd) (actually connects directly to control panel)
Door control panel - 16 pins
(LR A
B+
Ill +
--

LR B
RR A
Ill -
RR B
Gnd
Unlock
LF A
RF B
RF A
Lock
LF B)
Lock actuator - 4 pins (Lock / -- / Lock / -- )
Lock cylinder - 3 pins (Lock / Gnd / Unlock)

So, actual wire count is down at 26. That's still a fair amount to deal with in all honesty.

Get the right CPC and a few insertion/removal tools. Strip the ends of the wires and crimp on the pins, once all the wires are pinned seat them in the plug. It's not that difficult... gotta have the right tools and materials. With the right stuff It would take just a few hours.

Insertion/removal tools... I love the plastic ones for insertions..

Alright guys. I talked with Jessee Sirois on the "Xterra Off-Road" group on FB. He has power doors and this is what he did for his...

Quote: "Originally I just cut the wires and tucked them away. Bring that everything in my truck is automatic I had to fix it. Recently I got the door plug out of my buddies zj, and now it just one disconnect. I will be adding quick release for the hinges as well in a month or so. These are what the plugs look like. Because of how the holes in our door don't line up and how thick the bunch of wires is, you'll need to run it longer and tuck excess in fender. If I remember correctly I think the plug is like one or two wires short, so I just chose not to connect certain things I.e window lock and back windows since I dont have back seats anymore".

Yeah, very friendly guy. He said he doesn't get on the forum much, so I posted on his behalf here for yalls records. Hopefully someone can get this worked out and we can start talking doors off!

It's actually a very easy thing to do, everyone is just over thinking it really. I have done this like 10 different times on buddies rides. It's hard to explain the right way to do it and even harder to put it in writing especially when your like me and ADHD and do it by muscle memory and hands on vs trying to teach or show explain it

Just depends on when it is exactly and funds etc it's better to do it somewhere u have a garage and sometime the first time cause you never know what tools or what that you might end up needing every ride is different

Oh I was just talking about you explaining it better to me! Haha. Like I said, I'm wiring illiterate haha

But yeah, I totally agree. It needs to be in a garage setting ;)

I am curious about this now. I will have to look into it some more later. I honestly don't know what it looks like down there with the wiring etc...but I guess the problem most people have is fitting a plug that large in the door area without getting crushed as the door opens and closes? Is that why you need to run extra wire and secure in the fender?

Anyone try using multiple smaller plugs and running them inside the cab to plug them in? Obviously the issue is making the grommet water tight...but it would be nice to find a way to have the plug inside the cab.

I took off my door to do my heated mirror wiring. It's no big deal to realign, but it's a 2 person job to put back on unless you have a hoist or something to lift it for ya. I managed with a jack stand, but it wasn't pretty.

Not sure if you're looking at something waterproof speficially, but when I disassembled my old Mx-3, the doors had connectors. Could those work?
