found this on another page, as we have problems too
etween the door and pillar of the car there is a loom within a shield......
it attaches at the pillar at a bayonet fitted multiplug..... give this
multiplug 1/2 turn anticlockwise and pull the multiplug apart...... either
the pins at this joint are completely corroded or a wire between this plug
and the door is broken (most common)...... you can solder it back
again......if the pin in the multiplug is corroded/broken/rotten ... I have
removed the multiplug from the pillar....... easily done from behind the
dash......and attached the multiplug together outside the confines of the
pillar... then you can drill a small 1/8 hole through the multiplug at the
point where the pin is corroded and run a wire through and solder each end
to the loom's.
Ford don't do a replacement loom (if they did they probably would be the
best looms in the world)!!! .... but a new door loom will set you back about
£65.00=vat and the loom at the car side is all part of the main loom....
they do a pin repair kit ... but dealer only supply....but it is crap
anyway................ it can be repaired if you take your time and do the
repair I listed above.
hope this helps.
