Was looking at central locking yesterday, I've got the solenoids to put back in, but looking at the boot wiring loom I think I only had 1 solenoid wire plug bit that was loose- does that run across the rear if the boot to the fuel flap solenoid ? (That's still in place but no wire) ad there's not one on the end of/going beyond the driver side lights on the loom ? Or does it go up and over like under shelf area ? I'm just unsure if the route to fuel flap and if its clipped in anywhere ? or should there be one coming through the other side like with the battery cables ?

, sorry for the questions but its been such a long time ago I removed it I'm
A bit rusty on things,thanks

HI there should be two connectors one for the boot motor which will be in the centre of the back panel below the lock ,and one for the filler flap which is behind the carpet on the r/h rear wing hope this helps

Yes I know that, is the boot one in the taped lights loom or separate ? The body shop put the rear loom and lock in, il pull it all out when I'm next there and put the solenoids in and try get it all working

What route exactly should the fuel flap one take to get to it ? Should it be clipped in place ? What sort of clips ? I have that one on the wire on its own, I just want to get it all looking like factory

cheers guys, thanks for the pics, i cant for the life of me find that fuel flap one, im not sure if its missing or tucked right up in the panel somewhere, thnks for showing where it comes out, il have a good look tomorrow...so where does it "enter" the rear quater from onside the car ?? maybe i can find it that way if i start looking behind the rear bench area maybe ?

ive got the boot one thats ok in its place
