Power Windows...Door Jamb Sunroof not working

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

Stacy:  If your 5000 is like my 200, there is a thick gauge 10-12? wire in 
the drivers door jamb which, when it broke on mine no windows would work and the 
sunroof too..........  Connecting this wire makes everything work.  You'll 
need to spice the wires in the door jamb area.
HINT:  Place long wire in to make the spices (two) in the door and under the 
dash area. NOT in the door jamb as I butt splice themm in the jamb and they 
lasted two door openings.
