Door loom replacement kit vs complete loom

[Larhal]

Hi Ian,

My driver side door lost all fundtion due to the wiring harnes. It was on a Sunday and my window was half open, couldent leave it at that time to repare the next week.

Had a wiring harness from the passanger door I replaced last year.

To make the work easer I pulled the trim from the inside of the door and the speaker to gain access to the wiring harnes. I removed the door, 2 bolts easy and unplug the harnes from the car, and put on a work table. My wires in the bellow were repaired by the previous owner about 11 years ago, but kind of shoddy repair. the old harnes from the passenger door was in very good condition. I cut the wires about 350mm from the plug. replaced the broken drivers side plug with the good one. I sodered the wires and used heat shrik tubing. All was well then I re wrapped the loom with electrical tape. re installed the door and all works well.

So for a repair kit I would say go for it. the reason the wires brake in the loom is that they flex alot. the repair kits, I will get one for my passwnger side door. The repair kit has
silicon covered wires. this will help with the flexing.

Good luck.
