98 XJ8 Passenger Front Door Latch Flakey - Sometimes won't close/catch
#1

Sometimes, but frustratingly often, the front passenger side door will not catch on close. We fiddle with the latch and door handle and the locks and the automated locking features, and it finally does, but it's a mystery what's wrong or what makes it work.
Any ideas/suggestions appreciated.

Close or lock? First it's check the wiring at the door/body junction. There's a rubber boot protecting the bundle of wires going from the car to the door. There might be a split in one of those. Also a loose connection behind the door card. Either way I'd take the door card off and have a snoop around, reseating the connections to the door module and lock actuator.
