Door Wiring

[CM2007]

I have the usual electric window gremlins, window with a mind of it's own. Can anyone tell me how you take the plug off the door pillar so I can fit a new terminal and wires? Does it just twist off or do I need to take the panel off in the footwell to get behind it?

 

Cheers

The multi plug has a locking ring on the outer edge which rotates 90' left (anti clockwise) to "pop off" the plug. You can if you have a good look see the dents in the ring that allow you to tap it off if you cannot grip it properly. Don't use huge grips they will crush the plug's body :-(

 

Using a tool (screw driver or similar) tap the ring round to undo the lock and then the plug will come out. Once you've fixed the wires you can push the plug back in and then do up the collar ring to tighten the plug up properly.

 

You might find some lube will help get the ring off and on and the plug in/out as well. You could remote the check strap bolt to allow some more access to the plugs to get to them if you need.

 

I was going to look on TIS for a picture but they really don't help that much.
