power mirrors, seat memory

["Theodore R. Harlan" <trharlan@one.net>]

Tomorrow I will be digging into the remaining two electrical problems of 
the 5k: the power mirrors and the seat memory. The crack addict who 
owned the car before me flat out cut the wires for the mirrors maybe a 
foot below the harness. The switches are fine and the harnesses that 
connect the wires to the switches is intact, so of course I wonder what 
the problem might be. Have any of you had problems with the p/m motors 
or clutches? I can't speculate why he would cut them otherwise... also, 
if anyone remembers, the Bentley states that all of the p/m wires go to 
a 7 point connector behind the instrument panel. Do the wires go through 
the boot between the door and the body, then and connect behind the 
panel?

And the power seat with memory-- where is the 12 point connector? For 
some reason the Bentley doesn't specify. These wires must go through the 
door boot too? Has anyone ever had the memory control unit fail.

I could really use some answers. Has anyone ever BTDT?
I especially would like to know failure rates for the mirror motors and 
clutches and seat memory control units.

TIA

Oh, and while I'm at it, what is the best procedure for resoldering or 
reaffixing the wire connectors onto wires and slipping them into the 
plastic harnesses? And these wire connectors suck. Where can one go to 
get other connectors for these harnesses and switches?
