Hi! My drivers side window quit working, so I started researching the issue and found it was most likely the regulator/motor. Bought and installed the new regulator/motor. It still wont work. I started wiggling some wires and found that the blue, gray, and black wire going into the green plug that plugs into the door module (not the buttons you hit, but what that wiring harness plugs into) when those three wires are wiggled the window works just fine. Does anybody have a cheap fix or know the name of that wiring harness? Thanks in advance for the help!

Have you checked the connectors for corrosion?
Make sure the wire still has a good mechanical connection to the pin in the connector.

I checked for corrosion, and there is none. The connection is bad from the wire going into the plug. I looked closer and the black wire is the one with a bad connection.

The black wire going into the green plug has a bad connection. Anybody know where i can get a new wiring harness or how to repair this? I am kind of new dealing with electrical.

Thanks
