Only took me 2 hours today to splice together severed wires.
After removing door panel and motor access panel I discovered that the wires were completely cut in half. I then removed the map holder panel from the dash and then was able to trace the wires that lead to the window motor. I removed the connector from the window motor and removed the wire jacket that runs from the frame to the door. with a long needle nose pliers I was able to fish out the wires in the jacket. Luckily, there was plenty of slack in the dash. I then proceeded to splice the wires together and feed the connector back through the door and to the motor and voila, I was done. Put everything back and the window is working perfectly. I never done this before and was very pleased with myself afterwards.
I probably saved myself a couple hundred bucks also.
Just wanted to share this expierience with those who work on thier own cars and the satisfaction you get out of accomplishing something you have never done before.
NOW TIME TO GO CRUISING.
