Tungsten Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I just ran into a stupid problem. I tried replacing the door ground switch on the passenger side because the rubber boot was destroyed and couldn't get the switch out. I pulled it out just enough but still could not see the connector enough to actually unplug it. I thought something must have been holding it so I pulled harder and managed to rip the wire out of the connector. Of course it's not a big deal as I can just solder a spade connector on and connect it with the switch. The bad part is I would have to take some trim off to get to the wire. What I want to know is did Nissan make the passenger side door ground connector wire too short or did someone else screw this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 replaced the one on the 88 with no problems, plenty of room to disconnect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoore4512 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The 95 was no issue either, maybe PO fubar'd it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 That's interesting... Maybe it's a 91 thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Inside there is a point where the harness is tied down with one of those black loops to the body. I think it just matters how much slack they gave the harness before they punched it close. Some I have pulled out 8 inches, some 1 inch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Well that's really annoying then. All my other ground connectors can be taken out just fine. The passenger side door one has zero slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoore4512 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Come to think of it, mine didn't have a plastic strap. Maybe it fell apart.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Another bad part is I can't take the spade connector out of the little plastic tube connector without mangling it. Once the wire comes out, you have to get another connector. I will just put a plain female spade on and plug it in to the back of the ground switch.
