Door electrics

[Robert L Newton]

Hi, does anyone have any ideas on this? A3 partial electrics on driver's door not working. The passenger mirror works from the driver's door switch, but the driver's mirror doesn't work, no movement or demisting, also with the door illumination isn't working, but all the windows and the locking button do work from the driver's door buttons. 

I don't know where the break in continuity could be, but all plugs beneath the door cards are connected. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

It definitely sounds like a broken wire. If be following the look for the mirrors.

Hi the break will probably be in the rubber boot that runs between the door and the main body these are prone to breaking as the door is most used that side, pull the rubber boot back and inspect the wiring inside.

The A3 is prone to wiring damage in the rubber bellows between door and frame.

Hi all, thanks for your replies, I'm going to look at the wiring inside the bellows between the door and the body. Either way I'll post the results when I get the chance to investigate.
