Sandy74 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Whilst carrying out welding for my MOT the garage managed to burn a hole in the carpet. They have said they will replace the carpet but ihave since noticed some wires have melted in the drivers door sill. So far my heated rear window does not work & I don't get the high pitched sound if I leave my lights on and open the door. I don't have electric windows or mirrors (my car is a very basic KA Now yr 2000 X reg). What other things have wires running along the drivers sill?

I dont know specificly what wires are running to the rear of the car in that area but items you will need to check are, the rear Speakers the rear fog light the rear brake lights the rear tail lights rear indicators the rear wiper the rear boot release the headlight leveler (uses sensor fitted in rear to stabilise) Parking sensors if fitted ABS sensors handbrake light fuel gauge sensor signal rear air bag sensors if fitted boot light if fitted reg plate bulbs id get the welder to put the car in to ford for a replacment loom just to be 100% sure all is ok as you have already gave your car to them in the confidence it was in safe hands and they have gone and welded through the floor..

jeebowhite Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Part of me hopes that this is a Ford garage, at the same time, I seriously hope not, as that would probably be classsed as serious idiocy! I agree, check all electrics, and all damage should be repaired by the garage, I would make a written note and take photographic evidence of the damage, if you can find a wiring diagram for your car, that may help to indicate which wires run to the back, and so you can specifically see what it might be affecting... Please do tell if it is a dealer, or an 'indie'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
