  1. Many thanks for your info.My door lock LED was on all the time and my battery had gone flat (LEDs dont use any current but the corrosion was probably causing a high resistant voltage leak) My connector plug was corroded similar to yours.I cleaned it all up .now working ok.Note be careful with the connector pins in the window motor they bend easily... use a mirror to check all three rows of pins are straight before you refit connector plug Cliver (2003 TDi estate)
