They could be connections for an Explorer with a higher trim level - keypad entry, memory seats, etc. Another possibilty - the mismatched connectors could be from a different model year with a revised wiring harness.

Wouldn't it be possible to simply move the harness from your original door to the replacement door?

its exactly what i did..
im using the original cars wiring harness in the new door..
everything work exept for that the connection for the power mirror are different
and a strange extra connection"the one on the second pictures"
my guess its that the power mirror have just a different connection
but the one on the second pictures can it be a for the keyless pad?

I looked at the 2002 Ex factory Wiring Manual and it did not show a driver door connector like that one. Unfortunately, I do not have any Wiring Manual for later year Explorers.

FWIW, the wire color codes for the 2002 Ex keypad connector are:

• light blue/yellow
• light blue
• yellow
• black
• brown
• red
