Default Taking doors off

I am Trying to take the doors off my 08 Unlimited, I took off the Quick disconnect But there's another wire without a quick disconnect I think it is for the power door locks. Any Idea how to remover/ disconnect the wire?

Mine only has the qucik disconnect and the strap that holds the door from flying open. So I highly doubt that wire is for the power door locks. I Would try and find where the wire leads to and unplug it haha. If this is the first time your doors have ever been off their probably gonna be a b**** to get off.

Should just be the strap and the wires for pw windows and locks. Push the red tab away from plug in cab, squeeze and pull down. X2 on getting doors off if first time good luck!

Yes, like what blacknblack said, there should just be the quick disconnect plug (which is for power windows/door locks) and then the strap that lifts up off of a U-shaped hook. The first time I took my doors off I followed Teraflex's youtube video:

Not sure if you have a 4 door. If so, is the extra wire on all of the doors? Did you have an after market alarm on your jeep? How about after market heated mirrors?

My guess would be that either is probably installed. It sounds like you will more than likely need to hunt down the wire under the dash :(
