Boot change

[davemswiftuk]

Hey guys wonder if you can help, consulted the haynes manual and its no help wot so eva... I got a new boot to put on, just wonderd as to wiring - rather than chop and solder the wires, are there connectors I can get to in the boot and change the plugs ova?? Ne help appreciated.

yep

three wires two plugs

one is shaped like the letter T - so you can only plug it in one way, the plug is yellow, and is wired tired, MOST AWKWARDLY the wrong side of the plug, so you have to cut the wire tie off before the wire can come up and out (wiper)

the other one is the heated rear screen i think. it is a single black connector, just simply unclip this. it is a shilded male and female spade - just pulls apart.

You can also disconnect it for the inside of the left hand rear quarter panel. I found it easier to refeed it.

thats what i was reffering to in my above post matt

i agree feeding wires through the tailgate itself is a b!tch!

i have wires for indicators, additional brakelight and also boot release going into mine - not fun!

wosrt one is trying to replace the washer hose cos its flexible and dont go where you tell it to!

Sorry Mike, I thought you meant disconnect it in the tailgate.

cheers for that guys, the problem I got is the person I got the boot of, has just cut the wires from the tailgate! so I gotta re-feed the wires back into the tailgate. Sounds like im in for a fun time!
