   Many of times i have repaired burned wires inside a harness. A lot easier and   
   cheaper than replacing the whole harness. I hear todays cars computer   
   technology runs on two wires on whats called a buss. Cars today are made to   
   be serviced by the stealership where the electronics can talk with the   
   manafacturer. No thanks!   
      
   My old 1988 LeBaron premium coupe still runs like a dream with it's mostly   
   original components including the turbo charger. Passenger side window went   
   down last week and didnt come back up. Removing the door panel and tapping the   
   motor with a small hammer got it back up, so im thinking the brushes are shot.   
   Googling found rebuilt motors for under $60. And that regulator had gears and   
   replaceable motors. Never find that today.   
      
   Some years of Jeep Liberty's had a single unit (bycicle cables and motor) that   
   came only with the window glass!
