Looking into purchasing a set of half doors for my 2011 Sahara.
It appears Jeep has kept the same panel design for all the half doors for the JKs, but is there anything different on for those with electric lock installed? Or is it a "knockout" molded in, you remove if electric locks are to be installed?
The kit I'm looking at comes with a harness and 10 point connector, which doesn't state if it's the same for electric and non electric locks. Are there 2 different harresses, if so anybody know a Part # of the electric one? My Sahara has electric locks in the full doors so the power is threre to the connector to plug the door into.
Half doors are so rare in my area, (I personally have never seen anybody with them), that I have no way of seeing what I'm looking, to be able to identify the differences.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My local dealer just looks at me funny when ever
I make any inquiries.
JeepCACares you seem to have access to inside info, can you locate anything?

Sorry to revive a dead thread .....

I also have a 2011 and purchased a set of half doors with no power locks.

I am looking to adapt the half doors to work with my power/heated mirrors and power locks

any clue how to make this work ?

We talked privately and I gave you the heads up on how JeepsAreUs does it. The money was transfered stateside first of this week to have my buddy order me up a set. The doors will be OEM fractory half doors with electric locks installed using the factory electric lock/heated mirror wiring harness from the full doors. JeepsAre Us doesn't sell the remote/heater mirrors so I will be adding them from a separate source, the plug will be part of the harness they install. Jeep does not make half doors with these options, stock factory half doors will only get you a harness that signals to the ECU the door position (open/closed). These are what Quadratec is now selling, which for most people is perfectly functional. Some of us are just a little "----" when it comes to details (read "more money that brains!"). This "adventure" is likely going to take a number of months to accomplish as everything has to be dismantled (I choose the assembled option so I don't muck things up - you know that "real men don't need stinkin' instructions" thing - that be me), painted and reassembled.
I'll keep everybody in the loop as things progress, with pic's.

Doing the same right now, factory harnesses from full doors and power locks.

No i just need to find how to get the power mirror wire in without drilling another hole (mabye im drilling)

Thanks for the heads up about the "third" hole for the heated mirrors, would have been pissy about having to drill another hole through my freshly painted doors. I'll do it first thing and then send them off for paint. Was the third hole in the stock factory full doors? Never removed the mirrors so I've never seen what's under them, always thought just two holes. Let me know how things work out when you get everything plug in.

FYI this is where to drill the hole, i stole the pic .... i just drilled a round hole large enough for the plug to fit in.

Ill take some pics of the interior panels once im done mounting the power lock switches.

Here is a pic (sorry crappy cell phone shot) of where i mounted the power door lock switch

Is the rum affecting my eye sight (normally this only happens with women at closing time), but how does the door handle operate? I don't see the lever. Do the half doors use a different inside latch from the full ones or do you not have the handle installed yet?
Nice clean install though. I figure Jeepsareus will mount the button is the same place.

Nope the lever is there is probably just my crappy pics on my cell phone.
