All electrics on drivers door dead

(1/2) > >>

SteveS:
All electrics on drivers door are dead, cant use widow, mirrors, door doesnt lock, and worst of all, fuel cap stuck!!

anyone know what fuse it is or any ideas?

Norbreck21a:
Could be wrong but I think that there are different fuses controlling all of that equipment. My bet would be the main harness connector coming loose in the door hinge area.

From the pic below (taken from Elsawin), you can see there's a big plug connector with a locking tag, that may have come loose and caused a bad connection within the door. Worth checking?

SteveS:
thats the rubber bit in the middle?
just tried getting it off, wouldnt budge...any idea show that comes out?

Norbreck21a:
Yeah the big rubber boot you can see with the door opened.

I'll be honest and say I've never removed the boot myself, but looking at the picture I posted, it looks like the boot itself has a locking mechanism. Looks like you have to push down on point A (the arrow in the picture) to release the upper part of the unit ?
