Great replacement for a factory part.

If you are good with tools and can refer to YouTube videos, it can save you money. The replacement took about 40 minutes but was worth the time as I saved money to take it to the machine shop.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Unreliable

fits as it should

driver's door never seems to be "open" to turn on interior lights etc. Very annoying location and door access makes switching painful. However, this product fixed my problem and works like a charm. Reviews about this should not be dismissed due to the terrible design of the door. this product does what it is supposed to

Pros
  • decent performance
Cons
  • too long to wait

Incorrect Passive Entry Plug

Dorman states this item will fit the 17" Grand Cherokee but will not work with the passive entry system. This item has an oval end cap while mine has a double row "Square" end cap. This doesn't work with passive entry, you have to state this on the product. I didn't know until I took the whole door apart and it was a waste of 45 minutes to find out that it was wrong part was.

Pros
  • Multiple Competitors
Cons
  • None

More work than I expected but great result

For anyone with decent mechanical ability, installation is no problem. It just might take longer than you thought. Once installed, it's flawless. There is no good and accurate installation guide on the internet. Look at everything you can find and you will understand. The product itself fits perfectly and works flawlessly.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Sparse instructions

Difficult to install but problem solved

Took me about 3 hours on a hot day (with a few cool downs). The entire door panel should come loose from the inside and the window should be free to access this part. I found a good youtube video for the passenger side that is almost identical. There's not much leeway to tamper with the various links, particularly the driver's side door lock cylinder. But when everything is ready, my door closes again and opens again. I hope it lasts, I don't want to do it again.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Appearance
