Fitting door lights
« on: November 20, 2017, 08:53:50 pm »
Hello I’m trying to fit door warning lights onto my 05 gti,
I’m rubbish with electrics and I no you can use the pins but I don’t have vagcom and don’t really wanna fit them replace the door card and then when I get them coaded find they don’t work,plus I don’t no what pins to use.
So I was hoping to find the door plunger and go from there but I carnt find it,and I don’t really wanna run a wire from inside through the multi plug.
If someone could kindly tell me exactly what pins I need so I no when it’s all back togeather it will work that would be grate.

your modules are version K so they are Gen 2.

You need to put the positive wire from the door module into pin 1, and then connect the negative wire to a ground.

Best to tap into the ground from the fuel cap

Remember: The part number of your door modules is not the one on the black box, but the one on the sticker on the silver motor ending in 701 K

@RetroRaz
I hope I’ve done it right,I put the red into pin 1 and extended the wire so it reaches,and I used the brownish wire on the fuel flap wires for earth,below is the plug now.

I assume passenger side is the same but we’re is the earth

That looks right.

Not sure where the ground is on passenger side.

on my current golf, i have gen 3 door modules so I used an empty pin slot (cant remember the number)

on the older golfs I had I had gen 1 and honestly I cant remember at all where I grounded it. Might have been a window switch ground or an empty pin on the connecter.

Can someone else confirm where they grounded theirs please?

Gen 1-2 use : +12v in PIN 1 and ground from PIN 2 or 4.
Gen 3 use : +12V PIN 18 and ground from PIN 19

Look at the motor partnumber(not the black electronik box) , Gen 3 has revision N, M and Q.

@Ant b  Yes, as Christiank says, you can use pin slot 2 or 4 for your ground on the passenger side door. I used 4 as you saw in my photo.
No need to reply to my reply to your PM as I did a bit of searching and found the thread you were referring to and in turn this one.
Looks like you've got it all sorted now.  :happy2:
