If you are running new wire into the doors and not using the factory wire. I have already done this and this may save you some time. Just a heads up it easier to pull the doors.

1. There is a center pass through on the door molex plug it is wide open to run your wires through.

Center Pass Through:

The white body plug clips locations:

a. one on the very top and bottom

b. one on the side facing you in the center and one on the back facing the fender area (very hard to get to fender side to release it.

2. The black molex on top has the release clips on top, the bottom white one is on the under side, I was not able to release the bottom molex.

3. This is a big one, on the white body plug the black rubber boot is held on with rubber tabs that pull through the side and hook, do not cut them, just pull the tabs down to release the boot. There are two on the front side and two on the back side of the white body clip:

4. I spent hours messing with the molex and rubber boot, decided to do like some others cars we have had in the shop and pull the doors. After pulling doors, running wire and putting doors back on, it was took 15 min. Recommendation save yourself hours and just pull the doors. These are bolts you remove not the body hinge side, it is the bolt going into the door there is one at the top and one at the bottom. You will also need to remove the Black door stopper.

You will remove the door stop from the body side:

5. I will get some pics up of the access point from under dash with access through body into molex, how to remove molex. This picture is from passenger side but drive side is the same.

There is not a lot of room in the rubber boot, but I did fit two wire runs through it. Could Probably get 3 or 4 in it if needed but be careful not to damage any the factory wires.

I ran two sets of speaker wire per door. One is is to pull the signal from the factory output to the amp. The other is from amp to new door speakers.

If you have questions let me know and I will do my best to answer them.

I own Creative Audio Solutions in Oklahoma and do collaborations with Killer Ridez from Oklahoma. We install residential and commercial audio and video. We do not have a store front, we are mainly mobile on site except in a few speacial cases. We also do high end cars (Bentley, Benz, Porsche ect.)and custom builds. This is not a plug for us we do not do simple car audio installs anymore, only custom stuff mainly in custom built show cars.

I will post full build pics of Maverick once I get it done, in about 3 weeks or so.

How was it to realign the doors when reinstalling them? Are there any alignment pins or do you have to measure and ensure the gap is straight?

Nice walkthrough. What is the benefit of doing t? Just to upgrade from the stock wiring? Not necessarily something needed for your average sprint speaker replacement, right?

There are no alignment pins. It was not difficult to align. Once you get the door back on with bolts just snug, you can align it pretty easy. Take pictures at several angles before you remove it to have a starting point.

No, I saw a Youtube video on a custom audio guy's car that he ran the wires by drilling through the firewall and the brake master cylinder to run the wires into the engine bay then hang the wires under the body and drill up into the door. I don't think the mechanic thought it was a good way to do it but he's just a mechanic.

I cannot seem to get my fish stick through the door side of the jam into the cabin. Any tips?

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I can't seem to find much other information out there. I found a solution to run the wire into the passenger side, but the driver side is proving challenging.

I'm able to pull the plug and get a wire ran through the boot. Problem is getting it passed inside under the dash. It all seems blocked off inside the pillar whether I'm going through the wiring boot or the other small grommet just behind it.

It's just a wall of metal and wiggling the wires from the outside gives me no movement under the dash to follow.

Edit:
Nevermind. Found the path after I pulled the hood release latch and the bottom trim again. Shouldn't have put it back until I was 100% done.

Also, accessing the grommets are much easier if you pull the plastic badge trim on the outside in front of the door if you don't want to pull the whole door. Will post my build once I'm done.

I just used an orange zip tie as a poor man's wire fish:

Take this with a grain of salt (your results may vary). I didn't want to pull the door, so I used one of those flat metal wire runners, and it worked like a charm. I ran it through the foot well up into the door, attached the wires to the end, and pulled it back through.

Were you able to run the wire fish without disassembling the harness between the door and the body, or still did you have to remove the boot and harnesses like shown in the first post?

It took some heavy heavy finesse. I got it...taking the boot off like above would have been far easier

If you look at the hinge there's a vertical bolt on each 1.
remove the 2 10mm bolts & the body check strap bolt, then you can lift the door off the pivot pins
No alignment necessary when reinstalling
