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).

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... :(

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. :)
