Door Wiring Harness Plug Connections Binder -, Electrics Vehicle Type: (86) Model Year: 7 (V) Concern: Door wiring harness plug connections X11 / X12. Information: The rubber boot for the door connector is now equipped with a vent hose. Moisture seepage into the plug connection of the door wiring harness can cause failures or malfunctions of the following components: - power windows - alarm system - electric door mirror control - door warning light - central locking - seat memory The following modifications were made in production: As of May 7, 17 from Vehicle Identification Number 8 VS 62 3630 Installation of a frame reinforcement for the rubber boot. As of August 26, 17 from Vehicle Identification Numbers 8 XWS 62 0155 8 6WU 62 0075 Installation of a rubber boot with vent hose. Note: The wire assignment in the connector has been changed in production coinciding with the installation of the rubber boot with vent hose. Repair section 1 details the procedure for installing the new rubber boot for the door wiring harness plug connections at the left and right door hinge pillars if moisture seepage into the connector is determined on vehicles prior to the August 26, 17 production date (refer to VIN range). The updated rubber boots must be installed for both passenger and driver door wiring harness plug connections. Installation of one side only is not permissible. Repair section 2 details the procedure for replacement of the male contact pins and female receptacles if inspection reveals corrosion. Repair section 2 also details the procedures for replacement of the door wiring harness and installation of the plug connection repair kit if the 10-pole plug connector is corroded and requires replacement. Important Vehicles with airbag/side airbag: The capacitor in the airbag control module still carries a charge after disconnection of the battery. Wait a minimum of 1 minute after disconnecting the battery before beginning further work on the vehicle. During repair work a charged capacitor can result in unintentional triggering of the airbag!
