Hi guys - apologies for being an infrequent poster, but that's just how it is I've got an 05 T5 2.5 Caravelle exec, and the sliding doors are just doing the old nut in a bit.. The NS sliding 'door open' light popped up a few days ago, even though the door is tight shut, and of course the alarm is pinging all the time the van's moving.. The door motor on that side gave up a few weeks ago, and I lost patience and cut the wires on the OS door years ago ... The interior lights are flickering rhythmically when it's shut which suggests a dodgy connector somewhere, but the central locking still works fine.. I've cleaned the terminals on both the door and the pillar but that hasn't helped, I've also taken the units out and checked the connectors behind - all seem fine. I've read on the interwank that bridging the middle two contacts can indicate the fault, but looking at the back of the connector only the outer pairs of the six have actually got cabling - the centre pair are redundant. If anyone's got a suggestion for me that doesn't involve fire and an insurance claim I'd be really happy.. This isn't the first problem I've had with the van - it really is the gift that keeps on giving: Wiper motor assembly failed @ 25k Front struts failed @ 45k Rear spring broken @ 50k Rear units replaced @ 75k Auto box total failure @ 132k Camshaft failure @ 145k injector loom replaced @ 145k intercooler split @ 150k replaced all boost hoses @ 150k Exhaust manifold and turbo replaced @ 160k TCS module embedded into ABS unit failed @162k ... All help gratefully received!! Greg |
