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!
