    I want to say a HUGE THANKS for this as I had the exact same issue and without you would never have found it. The wires inside the rubber grommet were split. You sir are a legend and a gentleman. If I ever am allowed to travel again I'm flying over to shake your hand. 🇦🇺 cheers again for the video.

    Nothing silly about that, fantastic video with very useful info. Well familiar with the broken loom problem on these vans, in fact it's happened again to a loom I changed for the same reason! But I'll have a go at fixing it this time based on your info. Thanks very much.

    Awesome - big thanks. I found the exact same problem found with my 2014 Transit Custom. In fact, I had 2 wires broken. I checked the rubber boot between the door and A-pillar and boom, broken & corroded wires. Thanks again, big time saver!

      @@kennedysgarage3281 The indicator is working fine, as is the lock button (other broken wire), so not transposed The cluster came back to power today all by itself. I have had "connection" issues in the past few years, both the cluster and stereo have required the connectors disconnected, lubricated and re-connected - which fixed both. Been very wet here in NZ over the last few weeks (floods) so perhaps a bit of moisture. Anyway - everything is working well now. Your videos are excellent and helpful. Thanks again,

      @@aaronodonnelll6262 hi Aaron I presume you have located the broken wire(s) 🤞 then pull out one end of the the from the rubber protective sleeve and cut 2 or 3cm from it. Then solider on a longish piece of repair wire, the slide on a suitable piece heat shrink & cover your repair. Then feed the repair wire through the rubber protective sleeve & do the same procedure on the other side. You should end up with a repair close to the door & one close to the pillar. Hopefully this helps 🤞🤞
