door wires fix ?

[Kneale Brownson]

Does the wiring harness vary from car to car?  Years ago I had a very 
experienced mechanic do what Frank describes:  solder in the doorjamb with 
a little extra wire to relieve stress.  This was a guy who also works on 
electronics, installs computer networks, etc., so he's good with soldering 
wire.  His fix lasted a couple years and then the same problems began 
again.  The car was a 4Kq, though, rather than a Type 44.
