The door open indicator has nothing to do with the wiring in the doors themselves. It's the little rubber nipple switch in the door jamb.

agree, what i am trying to find is that where are these 4 rubber nipples wires connected to, they must be connected to one place, if i could find there places, i will try to figure out which is wire is what door, then will swap the two front doors...

Kindsa what I said..

If I remember correctly, it's only one wire.

To save lots of time and energy, I would just cut the wire at the door switch (rubber nipple) and extend each wire (with new same size wires) under the carpet to each side...

Just need same gauge wiring and 4 but connectors..



Very easy DIY.
