Door Electrical Pins - Cruel Joke?

[Gray Matter Jeep]

Honestly Jeep, do you know we want to take off our doors or not?

Yes, I have taken my doors off before...

No matter how careful I seem to be, I still manage to bend at least one of these little electrical prongs.

Why not keep using the JK(U) connectors? They seemed to be pretty reliable (in my 2016 & 2018 JKUs).

What solutions have you used to resolve the problem?

Make sure the white part slides down over the pins before plugging back in. My JL never had a problem, but both JT ive had that part stays. It causes the pins to bend.

Be careful and fix any bent pins. Remove doors in the spring and reinstall them in the fall; minimizing risk.

I feel your pain. Each time I put the doors back on I wait to see what won't work.

Is there a map of the pins anywhere?

I'm pretty sure the only thing not working this time around is the motor to adjust the mirror & possibly the blind spot detection.

If I had a map of the pin locations I could focus on the correct pin(s).

What I found works for me is to not use the lever to pull things together, but hand-connect things, push things together straight and then finish with that stupid lever. Too many aim, then use that lever to pull the connectors together.
