I tried to do the rear door today.
The only place I found 12v was on the window motor connector. I tapped into it but the motor won’t work.
This time around, I am using 2 individual wires, as shown in photo #5 in my first post.

The only difference between the 2 wire method and an actual pigtail is the housing for the wires.
Is there something special to the wire plastic housing/pigtail?
The wires going to the motor have 12V. Jumping those wires with an external 12V source won’t make it work. The motor is either defective or the oem pigtail has magical capabilities.
