I have an Jeep that has the same problems as others. The interior lights wont shut off and the driver's side door controls wont work. After reading this website, I took apart the door boot and sure enough, there was 1 large black wire broke clean off and 3 smaller ones partially cut. Great information!
The question I have is instead of fixing these wires (I assume taking the door off to allow more access to this boot is best) is there a new wiring harness that connects inside the cabin of the vehicle (down by your feet) that I can simply pull out the old wires and plug the new one back in?

Unless they changed the design, the harness unplugs from the door and the "A" pillar so you can work on it on the work bench. Let me know if your harness goes through a rubber grommet into the car. You could possibly get a new harness from Jeep, but it will be considerably more expensive than just repairing yours. There is no permanent fix either
