Well, I finally have had it. Tonight I installed the 3rd Door lock mechanism and none of them worked. Guess I was an idiot and did not test the harness until tonight. That is where I am having the issue. The harness that plugs into the mechanism itself (I believe its and 8 pin) has a short. I can reach down there and when I touch the wiring itself it jumps all over the place (the window that is) and my door light goes on and off.

Any suggestions to this problem? New harness? Is there a way to make the existing harness work?

Thanks for the help. This forum rocks.
