What's wrong?
The driver side door wiring harness in the 2015 Chrysler 200 carries electrical power and signals between the vehicle body and the driver door. It supports door circuits such as switches, locks, and lighting. The harness uses insulated wires so electrical current stays inside the circuit instead of contacting nearby metal or other wires.
On affected 200 sedans, the driver side door harness was built with wire that is too small for the electrical load. A smaller wire gauge creates more resistance, and that resistance produces excess heat as current moves through the harness. The heat can soften or melt the insulation around the wire, leaving the door wiring damaged instead of protected.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear, see, or feel a clear symptom before the wiring insulation is damaged.
