Re: [DML] Unused Wires in Door Harness?

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The "extra"wire is on the schematic as Light Green/White. The wire 
appears in the harness as part of the bundle that comes from the roof 
down the driver side pillar and should appear in a 9-pin connector 
somewhere in the compartment near the engine computer. I did not have 
time to open up one of the cars and see where it is. You probably 
have to remove the carpeted rear wooden panel to get to it. My guess 
is that is eventually goes across and connects to the defroster 
circuit, so you'll have to make sure you disconnect it from that 
before you re-use it.

The problem is going to be that the connection to both doors is tied 
together in the harness, in the center of the roof only accessible by 
removing the SS T-panel. So the way it is you couldn't use it.

You'll have to get into the roof from above, split the line, remove 
the interior roof panel, and then snake a second wire through the 
roof into the car (There's a feed through thats covered with black 
silicone RTV) without creating a new water leak. Sounds like a lot of 
trouble to get the mirrors to blink.

Hope this helps, no guarantees.
