Electrical issue

Featured Replies

I think I have a wiring issue. A few weeks back the fuel flap wouldn't unlock without the gentle pressure trick. But very intermittent, then the other week the back passenger door would unlock, then yesterday the mirrors wouldn't unfold and non of the windows would open with the drivers button and non of the buttons was lit up. I'm pretty sure the red light on the door was flashing all the way home too. Has anyone any ideas?

Plenty of forum posts about broken wires in that area, it's a weak point for sure.

 

I dare say you may need to strip some of it back to find a broken wire, but always check the fuses first before you begin tackling the harder jobs.

Looks like a repair has been performed to a wire before. But based on symptoms I also experienced it’s likely the wires IMHO. You can repair the loom. Replace with a new official loom. Or get one of the repair lots off eBay. It replaces the pillar connector. Runs into the door itself and allows connection of every cable with plenty of slack as working in the door pillar inside that cover is tight. Have a good search on here, plenty write  ups.
