to see if you have fixed or caused more issus !
i brought the door to the car and plugged in the new plug as it was on a long lead
just to test and it all worked!
now you have to pull the cables back into the car and refit the grommet,
you might have to release the carpet on the A piller to enable you to pull the cables through, i also had to use a wire hook to reach up and pull them in as i couldnt reach the hole
now its just a case of refitting the door plugging in the plug and tidying up the wiring inside the car so you dont get your feet tied up
few extra pictures of the notes i made just incase the numbers fell off i put on
the drawing i had were 99% correct with just one wire number incorrect
to sum up!
the job took me about 3 1/2 hours in total
im glad i bought the new bits i wouldnt want to struggle with short secondhand cut offs,
would i do it again??? Yes I own a French car with crap electrics so i will probably have to!
if this guide helps anyone it was worth me doing it for you
so a little rep go's a long way
good luck to anyone that attempts this
