Guys I’m trying to get my electric mirrors working I’ve had them fitted along with dashboard switch and a missing wiring loom drivers door but garage said I’m missing a connecting harness behind the switch to connect to the door loom plug etc
Can anyone advise where I could locate one ?
Also later I want to connect electric windows what do I need for this ( drivers door wiring loom has plug for that )
Cheers

As I read from your post, you placed missing harness into door for electric mirrors. However that is not enough, you are missing big part of harness which connects dashboard switch with fusebox and both doors.
You cannot buy just that part of loom, as it is integral part of overall looms.

From where you pocked door loom? I suppose at same donor car you will find the rest of loom. Otherwise you will need to make it yourself. However the biggist problem will be connection to door loom as you will need to add missing pins to connector from door to body. Anyhow the best thing is to go to the scrapyard and find the suitable donor car and take all that is missing.

If you have plugs in doors for electric windows, then you might as well,have whole loom in place. You will have to check if you have connector at place where windows switches come. If you do you will need to add relay for door windows.
