Rear Drivers Door Woes

Hi All, Can you help???

I had problems locking the drivers sider rear door for my Zaf b 1.6 Club. A local independent garage found the wires that run from the loom to the plug at the bottom of that door through a rubber boot have chaffed, failed and now the door won't lock via the fob. He managed to egt the door locked but we now can't use it! he said that I need to get hold of a plug for that door with about 7-8 inches of wires so he can replace it, trouble is vauxhall dont sell the part separately only as part of the whole loom
I tried contacting breakers yards locally, but am I not getting anywhere with the ones i've tried so far. Does anyone now how I can get hold of this part at all? Several sites i've looked at have hinted that this is a 'fairly' common fault! Any ideas?

Hi there, I don't see why you need part of the loom to fix this. It should be repairable by soldering in some new lengths of wire, if you're not up to the job then I would ring an auto electrician who would be better suited to the job than a garage.

I totally agree with the above statement...cant you just replace the wire that is broken yourself

If I lived local to you mate i'd solder it for you.. I'm a dab hand with a soldering iron

Cheers Folks, I may give it try, just don't wanna mess it up any more than it is. may try an auto electrician tho
