The wires often break inside the accordion bellows between the driver side door and body. You pull the bellows back and find the broken wire and other wires starting to crack . You know a splice at the flex point is not a lasting option.
You unscrew the fastener, separate the connectors, remove the terminal lock and carefully extract the OE terminal with the broken wire.
Auto Zone, and Napa have no selection , and the dealer doesn't sell the terminals (said they used to sell a door jumper harness kit for $350, but it is an obsolete part now , LOL)
I go to some little Mom and Pop run Auto parts store with a real book catalog of wiring terminals with the illustrations and order a package of 10 Standard Motor Products OE Style Terminal CG51 for like $7 Crimped and tinned 14 gauge and 16 gauge wires with plenty of length and replaced the other 4 damaged wires and terminals too . FYI the Jeep was a 93 Cherokee, but the Body style was used for many years. You might want to keep some Standard Motor Products CG51 OE style terminals in a tray somewhere. Female tubular style 3/32"
