How do i

Here is the pic you asked for it looks like somebody who had the car before me had a go ! Anyway. This is all the wires I can get to this pic is from under the gromit hope this means more to you them it does me

  good god! looks like  someone either got happy with some wire strippers or those tears are due to age, either way looks like a wiring fault mate, may have to remove the roof lining and left hand pillars to get at the whole lot 

and have you had you boot trim off as well?

[Mark b]

Lol looks like the bomb squad has had a go had a prob removing the pillar as my seat belt part isn't a slide one mines bolted on if that makes Sense

[GTi_James]

yeh definatly sounds like either the last guy who had it or the garage who "fixed it" made a royal mess of the lot. best bit would be taking out the trim etc. its not a bad job, but the boot trim is a ball ache, the appropriate amount of force on removal and replacing, i broke all the little mettle clips so its held on by faith alone now 

and if the last guy who dealt with it has yanked it then the wire may of come out, especially seeing that the motor works and the fuses are good 

[GTi_James]

P.S its not a good idea using B0MB and puting pictures up of wires on the net   

[Mark b]

Yeah the motor works and I've checked the 2 fuses on the relay panel. I've managed to get all the boot trim off before but couldn't get the pillar off would I need to unbolt the seat belt part to get to more wires as only looking in the gromit don't give me much to play with

[GTi_James]

literally everything from the back to front can come off, the pillar trim is held in place with push plugs, you'll need to get the seatbelt removed and a new mechanism sourced, that youtube clip i posted previously showing you how to change the antenna gives you an idea of how to get into the top of the roof lining, and then its pretty much yanking the tops down, carefully though as you dont want anything snapping, as with the 2l, take the 2 front pillars off first to see which side the wiring runs down. dont be alarms if it sounds like the things broken when your pulling, its jst the ribbed plugs slapping on the metal frames

[Mark b]

Wow sound like grief the wires on my boot run in to the gromit on the right hand side if that helps . I watched the YouTube clip you posted I'm just hoping a break might be near the back of the car so I don't have to pull much apart I've been told its prob the black/brown wire but tbh I don't know what that wire does

[GTi_James]

you'll need an electric reader, another body as well to test which wires light up when you start pressing buttons in the drivers seat, fastest and easiest way of finding out which wires are dead 

[Mark b]

Yeah a bloke at work said it was the brown/black one think you can see it in the picture do you what that wire is
