Have you read the wiki page about it?
Is there something you're particularly not confident about?

Take out the RH front 'speaker, and work through the hole it fits in. Don't disturb the door loom socket in the A pillar at all.
Don't mistake the one red/brown wire for a red/black and cut that by mistake.

What is the wiki page?
I have found 3 red/black wires. 2 of them go into the same pin hole & one is on it's own.
Which one's do i cut & join together.

All three. Cut them away from the socket, join them together, and insulate.
