Sorry for yet another C/L thread but help would be appriciated.
Yesterday I removed the drivers door panel and completely removed the wiring loom, apart from some crack in the insulation on a couple of wires everything seemed ok, I striped back the wrapping for about a foot down the loom from where it plugs into the car it's self. I checked all other doors for problems and there were no signs of any cracked insulation.
After doing this everything is still the same as before, so out comes the comfort module, this did feel a little warm but perfectly dry as are all the wiring loom plugs on the side panel.
What I have established is that there is no power at all getting to both back doors, (front doors and boot work perfectly) the speakers work but I am assuming no power because.
a) the rear door open lights, the red warning lights in the door panel don't work.
b) No rear doors open warning shows on the instrument panel.
c) Rear doors do not operate the courtesy lights
Sods law my test meter is knackered.
So now for the strange bit, if I unplug the red and the small black plug from the comfort module everything that was working prior to disconnecting these still works. I have no idea what does what as I have no reference material. Does anyone know what functions the four plugs on the comfort module have?
I could do with some comments on the above.
Am I wasting my time and this is definitely a comfort module problem which as the car is only worth about £1800 ain’t worth spending £500 or so on something which is just a little inconvenient, or does it sound like a broken wire or duff connection, I find it strange that nothing apart from the speakers work on the rear doors yet it is only the back doors that don’t work. I am thinking that the alarm won’t set because it is not getting any signal from the rear doors and this may also be the case with the remote C/L, Am I right or wrong?
