306 door wiring - yorkiebar
have seen countless postings with problems on door wiring on 306's.

But anyone actually repaired 1 and know what the job is like? Are loom parts available from Peug? or from a breaker? Unlikely to be any better if so. Or is it better to make up your own part loom?

All comments welcomed.

funnily enough ive just finished repairing another one this afternoon, ive done loads before. ive never used a replacement loom from peugeot think there overpriced, i just wire in a new section of wire for each wire thus both repairing and extending the loom to prevent future breakages.

take the door off is easiest, i then cut and solder each wire one at a time adding about a 5cm length of wire in. also, check the continuity of the wires both sides of the loom with a meter before soldering to check there not broke in the connector. the wires i have had broke in the connector ive just ran a new wire outside of the connector to the right wire on the inside of the door and then cable tied it to the connector once finished.

worst ive seen had 5 broken wires in it, of which the two small white ones wrisere broke so had to do some testing before joining them.

all in all quite a simple job if you can use a soldering iron and work in a logical manor
