[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 440972, member: 18877"] is the button a toggle one? like a retractable pen or caps lock key or is it like a door bell that springs back up after you push it? The fact that it is tied into the door wiring limits what can be going on. It could be related to the heated / power mirrors if you have them (You didn't mention what year you have) Power windows, or locks, or the circuit that tells the jeep when the doors are open. So push the door with the doors open and when closed, may be a difference. It is possible that it is some sort of security thing that reacts to door being opened I guess... It would be a very strange place just to get power from. It appears to have a quick disconnect, so you could try and remove it and see if anything goes wrong. Or disconnect the door connection and see what happens. I will guess that nothing will and you are missing the other half of whatever it does. garage opener or something. [/QUOTE]
