Wiring from the body into door very poor design. Broken wires are a known issue on the CL model

thank you Calgary from the North West Kootenays (Kootenay Lake) 80 miles as the crow flies to you.
as the door articulation. So power still feeding drivers door.

There are several thin wires in this harness. I had problems with my speakers, but the mirror adjustments worked ok. You might only have some wires that are broken, while others in the same harness are ok...I missed going to B.C. this summer. Construction at the Kicking Horse would have made a much longer trip...

True, I work as a guide on the Horse for about 20 years, and other rivers.
Driving most days through the canyon, and I never even heard of an accident. Why this crazy project that has taken 4 lives so far. and who knows how good and safe it is, its on a tectonic plate (the old Pacific coast).

I will have a crack at the door wiring, thank You!

80 Miles as the crow flies..but much further to drive....Why is there no road from Canal Flats to Kaslo ?? That would help....

That was the ”plan”. Earl Grey Pass was the answer. Though, I would recon (having traveled, sailed most of the world) some of the nicest high country on the Planet!

Suppose like some vehicles, a new door harness….hum $800?

 

[calgary]

No, not a new door harness. A good mechanic can cut the covering of the harness, insert a piece of wire into the broken ones. Labour intent - but a lot easier than
removing the door and replacing the harness. No idea how you would get into the body to install the other end of the harness.

Update, as the guy I bought it from complained of the window. Now I see the steering doesnt lock.
A quick read, seems this is a bigger problem.
I gave him a bit less money because. Likely not enough.
On the upside, it has some lorinser bits, likely body and exhaust. But I haven’t got it up in the air yet.

 

[H20ham]

Still haven't had success. Car starts every now and again.
Ordered new key, as the one had some broken bits on the end. Didn't do the trick.
So I am guessing I need to send the Electronic Ignition System where the key goes needs to be re-soldered.
Hoping for comments please.
Kind Regards
