door wires repairs

[David R. Derting]

I recently completed a similar repair on my '89 100 barge - I mean wagon!

I removed the wire harness from the door and withdrew the harness
thru the body so it was accessable inside the car.   This exposed the
wire harness so I could splice in new wires.  There were some 20
wires to splice.  Many of them were 12/14 gauge.  I soldered the
splices.  The job I took about 8 hours.  Used two-foot lenths of wire
so the splices would not be stressed.  It was a bitch of a job but it
will last another ten years!

I had to do the same repair work on the wire harness for the rear
hatch - This was a piece of cake compared to the door?
