[V8] Wiring Guru needed...

[Kneale Brownson]

Since you have reduced voltage at the switch on the door, I'd suggest 
you have a door jamb wiring issue, Tom.  I can tell you from having 
replaced ALL the wires in an Audi door jamb that it's impossible to 
inspect all that mess enough to determine the condition of every wire.  
I found compromised and broken bits I didn't know were damaged once I 
had them all separated and started pulling one by one.
