Door connections

[Brucielee]

Hello all, needing a question answered, had to change my passenger front door window mechanism, while there thought I'd check the wiring between door and body, found the thick brown wire broke clean, one other wire had the coloured cover broken but not the wire, when connecting the brown wire together it touched the other bare wire and gave off a spark, obviously shorting out, so the window works, only from drivers side, speaker works, and door lock works, and puddle light and it engages the interior lights on opening, window switch doesn't work, something has happened to the rear door behind it, door lock has stopped working with central locking, it was working before the spark, puddle light works, speaker and tweeter works, window switch and window work, what I want to know or ask, is the wiring from the front door connected through to the back door indirectly, causing this to happen

Thanks for any help and info

Possibly but I'm not sure exactly. Have you checked the obvious such as fuses etc?

[Brucielee]

Alright James, Yes checked all the fuses and checked the wiring to the back door in case it was just a coincidence that it happened to break a wire at the same time, all good at that end, have bought a new front door loom and once I get it in I'll post back with the outcome, maybe there's a broken wire that hasn't broke the outer cover that I wouldn't see, hope the wire I shorted wasn't the window switch and have blown the switch altogether, I will soon find out

[James]

Yes let me know how you get on. I suppose at least a second hand window switch shouldn't be that expensive if you need it?

OK, so I got the new loom this morning, have it in and the front door is fully working again, now here's the thing, my back door isn't fully working but when I press the keyfob to central lock it, I can hear the lock trying to work but it isn't fully engaging the lock and so it's still open, maybe it needs a new locking mech, although strange that when the front door is fully functioning that the rear door lock starts to come to life again, strange one, 

[James]

So the rear lock didn't work at all before?

[Brucielee]

Before I sparked out the front passenger door wires, the rear passenger door worked fine, then I sparked the front door and rear lock stopped working, now I've replaced the front door loom and now the rear lock is making sounds but not locking,  yes James the rear door didn't work at all until I replaced the loom to fix the front door, weird eh

[James]

Yes very strange! Seems like you're having a good old fashioned case of electrical gremlins!
