Hello everyone

Today had a look inside my drivers door to try and sort out my intermittent locking fault. Got the doorcard off and found the previous owner had nicely bodged the connector block and one wire in particular as shown below

It's a red/yellow wire which fits into the bottom of the control box on the bottom of the window motor. Can anyone tell me what this wire in particular controls/powers? I know it'll mean a new door loom long term so anyone got one at decent money?

Don't worry about the moisture. That's my contact cleaner! Doubt it's the wiring and think it's the actual motor dying from my locking issues, as even before cleaning the contacts they were very clean

Don't know much about the wires but try ebay and breakeryard.com for wiring loom and/or motor/module. If you try and source module if part number matches exactly with last initial for year it shouldn't need coding, otherwise it will with vag-com.

Cars also get broken on here so check parts section. New modules in particular aren't cheap.

Check the wireing in the door shut . I've just repaired both my rears one to fix non functioning central locking and the other for electric window . Both had broken wires clean and soldier tape and job done

All thanks to this forum . Jim

You can get wiring repair kits from the dealers/TPS. Basically it's a length of wire with the correct terminal crimped on, just click it into the connector block and solder the wire into the loom.

Check the module pins though, I had water ingress in mine, and one of the pins actually came out of the module and was stuck in the connector block
