Chode broke into my car - help fixing door wiring [pics]

[Konica]

Some chode decided to stick a screwdriver down in between my drivers-side door skin today on my 89 535ia while I was out taking it for a test drive.

He managed not to hurt the paint - but completely messed up the wiring inside the door.

I have the replacement connectors - I just need to know which color wires should connect to which color wires. I looked at the electrical trouble-shooting guide but that was too convoluted.

These wires come down from the door lock area on the left side of the door:

These wires come from the right side of the door:

These wires also come from the right side of the door:

Is this a driver's door? Colors change by door.

Looking at the '89 ETM - I'd guess the cut lead is WS/RT & BL/BN (weiss- white & rott-red) and (blau-blue & brun-brown). Did you look around to see if the connector that the wires are torn from is still around?

Black, blue white is the lock actuator motor - there is also a door lock heater lead - but it doesn't match the colors in your photo. It's hard to tell exactly what all the colors are in your pictures - maybe you could also give us more clues about what you see disconnected and what all the connectors and colors are that you need help with..

Here's from my writeup on changing door handles, hope they help.

Basically match the wiring in the door to the wiring in the handle, the colors should be the same.
