Comment. Power is supplied to the electrical equipment of the door through two wiring harnesses laid along the rear pillars. To remove the door from the car, you must remove both wiring harnesses from its internal cavities. To do this, you will have to remove the tips of all wires from the connecting blocks. It is more convenient to remove part of the lining of the luggage compartment and disconnect the harnesses from the vehicle's on-board network, and then disassemble the removed door.
An assistant is needed to do the job.
