jcamb, that's some great work. I'm going to have to do this very same thing with mine, as some of the wires going into the connector to the door have been pulled out, and the entire rest of the group of wires is broken in the middle. All the wires and their associated functions went out progressively over a few week's time. Unfortunately, I have no car experience so I'm going to have to wing it myself.
How did you fix the wires that were broken inside the connector to the door? For one thing, I can't even seem to get the connector out, although I'm working from the inside of the car with the door open instead of having taken the body panel above the wheel off.
