Back on this one, on a final push to get it sorted so it can go to its new home
The new owner requested an auto-dimming interior mirror, which requires this bundle of wires
to be extracted from this lot
Its then added as a sub-harness and tied in to the rest of the car, mostly to original junctions. The new harness is in the middle here with brown, blue and red wires
Following the original routing, through the original clips
Most of the original clips can be opened up and re-used
Down at the base of the passenger B-pillar
The first wire ties in to the 'interior light signal' underneath the back seat. This junction is here regardless of whether the dimming mirrors are fitted or not so I can just crimp the new wire to the two originals
Covered up with the original boot, and re-taped in to the harness
We pick up the earth also under the back seat using this white connector. The original earth junction is in the boot which would mean too much dismantling but this earth for the side airbag goes to the same junction so we can share it.
Crimped and heat-shrunk
Wrapped up again
Other side of the back seat we have the reverse light signal. Again, the junction for this is in the boot so we'll pick it up in this bundle instead
There it is
Same type of crimp
Buttoned up again
Up to the fusebox next where we pick up Terminal 15 switched ignition. This lot is all wrapped up so needs unpicking
very carefully so as not to damage any of the tiny wires
Its right underneath the fusebox. Quite a few circuits join here so I've added an extra crimp for the new wire rather than touching the originals
These two wires are for the door mirrors, which we aren't fitting as they are so hard to acquire. The're wrapped up and tucked away should the new owner want the door mirrors fitting in the future.
On to the aluminium trim round the doors as both of these are damaged.
There's a rubber strip pressed in to them
Which reveals a bunch of screws holding the trim to the body
With the screws out (and B pillar trim removed) the aluminium trim can be removed
I polished the replacement trim in the vice before putting it back on to the car as its much easier like this
The original headlining went in the bin as it was a bit grim, as will the sunroof lining (left). I have nice clean replacements for both
Headlining back in shortly
