How do I get these doors off!

flux3d · **Posted:** Wed Dec 23, 2015 8:49 pm

Help, in order to get the sills finished I need to take the blooming doors off, but for the life of me I can't find where the wiring loom connects. Tracing it back it seems to disappear behind the dash. No connector in sight. Surely I don't have to take all the connectors out of the door to get it out. That would be a nightmare!

Any help gratefully received, then after the turkey I can get the job all done (or maybe before if I can get out to the garage).

I stripped the entire harness out of the drivers door, took it off then found the connector :oops:

Thanks guys I'll keep looking.

the cable seems to run behind some insulation foam with a plastic covering which also seems to be breaking down. I knew it must have a connector somewhere. These cars are too well made to not have something.

Take the mirror apart, there is a connector in there but You need to push the pins out. Make a diagram of wiring and use a proper tool for pushing the pins

Just a tip
Don't follow the wire, look for the connector

hmm, I have 2 doors to swap on mine, replacements are in the right colour, but the wiring looms were cut, not looking forward to this...

Found my connectors at the weekend

On the bulkhead just behind the fuse box

It's not a difficult job

I found them inbox the end. Right up in the corner. One door is of already and the other will come off when I do that side soon. Not too bad after all.

Lol, very useful video, if a little more destructive than I'd have liked.
