I have tried ordering from a few different sites, and no luck so far. I am allowed to order, but then get stuck with "processing". That's with different #'s for the same part.
Thanks. I ultimately went with the dealer. The harness won't be avail until sometime in Oct. and they charged me nearly double for the handle. So the waiting game starts.

I don’t know if it’s a compatible part or not, but I just searched 68299333AF and it comes up as available on many sights. One of the older sites said that discontinued part 68299333AE replaces AA, AB, AC and AD, So I googled AF and it comes up.

@AllMoparParts.com can you confirm that 68299333AF is a compatible replacement for 68299333AE?

Yes the AF replaces the AE and is what you would receive if ordered through Mopar. Availability is not bad 7-10 days from what I see.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,

thanks for all the info on this thread everyone. I ordered all the parts for the left door w/BSM from allmoparparts today and will report back when complete. I checked my overland and it has the pins on the door connector, so no jumper needed. I also have JScan App already and see the settings to update. Not bad for $150 if it pans out!

Someone should put together a kit - harnesses, handles, etc. - still want to get this added, both doors. Part numbers keep changing and some say "unavailable" when I look them up.

We are working on this

Thanks,

Benny, make up a kit - as long as it doesn't mean my first born, plus one arm and one leg (well, maybe you can have my first born - I'll ask my daughter-in-law)............

Seriously, unless we are talking a crazy amount, I'm in.

I know if there was a packager or kit of parts, you'd have more sales, too.

LOL :LOL: The parts are very cost effective just hard to get at the moment with all the backorders hence we have not been pushing it but we will certainly work on it.

Thanks,

Just finished the install, very easy and works great with the jscan doing the settings. I used the 68299333AF harness (BSM) even though I don't have the BSM, and still works no problems. The harness for without BSM is always backordered, if not discontinued, so this is the solution. A top mod imo.

Interested in a kit for driver’s door when you get it together!!! Also have BSM
I want to do both driver and passenger since my wife rides with me when we take the truck on trips or shopping.

I’m in for a drivers side with BSM! I’m sure these kits would sell.
