Hi All

Checked the wires and found the brown one had split away, the thing is, it has dropped back into the roof  area down that little hole about size of a 50P, do i need to take my head lining down to get to the wire to extend it, or is there another route to take to fix the little bleeder???

Thanks

Remove the boot rubber, this will allow you to lower the headlining just enough to get at the wire, awkward though!

Thank you, another 10 minute job that will take the morning up!!!!!

Dont need to take the headlining down, take the trim down that runs along the back, take the ns parcel shelf trim out and the c pillar trim and you should be able to find it, it will be awkward though
