I just fixed the same problem on my 2001 Cherokee Classic...there were two problems, 1. broken wires where they pass between frame and door...cut open the rubber cover and tape holding and "protecting" the wires and you will most likely find a broken wire. 7 wires were broken from the repeated opening and closing of the door, 6 controlled the windows and one was for the front left speaker. 2. the connections to the speaker. the harness and terminals were not not making a lasting solid connection...splice any broken wire back together and make sure the connections are solid at the speaker and you should be good to go...as for them working only when open, it's probably because in that position the ends of the wire were touching, and/or the wires at the speaker were pulling on the harness in a way that made the connection between the two. It is the EXACT same problem that I had. Hope this helps...good luck
