Drivers Side Wire Harness

Have a 2006 Equinox and the radio/ clock will not turn off when drivers door open (when poor off).It will turn off when any other door is open. Its says to check the wire harness. How common of a problem is this? Does it happen lots? Also could I have damaged the wire harness when removing the door panel or placing parts in the drivers side door? Just had work done on the vechile and the next day I noticed this.

Hello Jackie, You might have a broken wire in the wire loom at the hinged side or the door. When you open the door, the wire makes contact and the window works.

2006 escalade the left side of the driver switches dont work, ie left side front or back windows wont role up or down and the unlock doesnt work. The lock side of the button works and the right side...

has the vehicle been in an accident around the drivers door A pillar? Sounds like there are some wiring issues inside of the harness or connector that goes from the body to the door.

The Drivers side power Sliding door is not working correctly. Stops after moving 4 inches. will not re-engage unless door is secured, then same problem all over againm.

The most likely problem with your door is a broken wire in the sliding door track harness. Sometimes it is difficult to see the damaged wire, but this is a VERY common problem with these vehicles. The track harness is located in the lower portion of the door opening. It looks like a plastic chain with the wire harness inside. This design is to allow the wires to move with the door, which in turn usually causes the wires to break due to repeated bending. The harness is very easy to replace for someone with basic mechanical skills.

Where is the door contact switch?

Hiya
Check all 4 doors to see what works and doesn't work, be sure the interior domelight switch is set to turn on automatically when any door is open as well try the radio then open the 4 doors to see if it turns off...if your driver's side door don't work as you stated then that should be the door's "at fault".

GM built the door contact switch that's installed INSIDE the door-it's located inside the door striker/jamb area...it require removal of door trim to gain access.

However, you might want to try this visual inspection:
Check the thick wire harness located between the front-left door and door sill frame to see if any wire has been disconnected/cut or tampered with by previous owner.

Radio will not shut off until I open and close another door

The theft light coming on is normal. Also, the radio will stay on for about 10 minutes after the key is removed and you do not open the doors.
