B-pillar

[Rick2002]

Hey Guys
I was just wondering if there is anyone who can tell me how to remove the cover on the B-pillar on my 2002 ram quad so i can run a new speaker wire to the rear door. it has a short some were and i cant find it. im a little nervous about breaking the clips on the b-pillar cover or worse breaking the pillar cover.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Rick

Trying to remember, but I think you have to have a security bit, and pull the seat belt slide off and then everything else was pinch clipped.

I also remember that a lot of times you can see the short from those wires by pulling out the wire cluster with the door open, you don't need to remove the b pillar. Just remove the foam-rubber thing around the wires then gently pull them out to remove. You will likely find a wire cut off in there, after which you can repair it. It's a bit of a pita to put all that stuff back in there, but may be easier than going through the b pillar.
