Hi ya folks.

I had a quick look in the driver’s door the other day. I was short of time and replaced a couple of connectors and a broken wire.

The bit that puzzled me though, was the door card itself. The diagram shows 11 wires going to it, which was correct. I found Two 5 wire connectors in there. A wire had snapped out of one of them, and I could see a previous repair had bypassed that connector.

But the 11th wire was basically on a bullet connector.

Has anyone else had a look in there’s.

Is the factory fit, Two 5 wire connectors and a bullet connector?

Can you recall the connectors in there ?

I could only find Two connectors, with 5 pins/wires each.

Thanks both.

Instead of that 12 way, I’ve Two 5 ways.

That diagram will come in handy though. I’ll replace them with some 6 way Superseal connectors.

All the wires have been oxidised thus far. Some, I’ve just stripped the ends off and found clear copper. Some wires look knackered throughout.

I’ve still popped new connectors on, but the door really needs wiring at some point.

On my passenger window, I also proved the cabin harness can’t carry a decent load, so I suspect that needs doing too smile

Door card... No, as you’ll occasionally need to remove it.

Door wiring... Wiring direct to the components, like a modern car ? smile It would be tricky. There’s a magnetic contact, a micro switch, motorised mirror, mirror heater element, external door opening button, window mechanism.

None of them items have connector sockets unfortunately. They’re either pre wired or soldered on. I think it would be a nuisance, especially when it came to replacing faulty items.
