Another Electric window problem

[Ronan 0]

I have a late interior in my car but the mirrors havent worked since I got the car so I decided to take off the doorcard to see why. This is what I found - is there any way of connecting the old plug into the new loom? I'm guessing people have done it before.

Also found this connector in my door - can anyone tell me what it is?

I think there is a knowledge base article for this - or you could buy the late loom...

Ok thanks supercharged.

 

If I bought the late loom, how much work is involved in fitting that?

 

And no-one knows what that connector is yet then?

That's the door handle connector.

Riiiiiiiiiight.

 

Guess that should be connected then, but then my door handle is busted anyway.

 

Cheers guys.

It's what triggers the central locking pump....but most people use the alarm plipper to unlock/lock, so don't notice if the handle is connected!

IIRC it's clipped in usually , in a very awkward place ( down the hole behind it ) and you need a child size hand to get at it > ..looks like its been pulled out by a previous owner. EDIT >

Doesn't it controll the full-closure aswell?

I dunno, my ful closure works, and my key doesnt work in the locks anyway.

The full closure works via the handle when you turn the key to the left and hold. The alarm ECU just pulses the same wire anyway, so you never actually need to use the key in theory.... just in the ignition.
