Could I not buy a new connector and re terminate the wires

I quoted you. You said your foxwell 510 was accidentally left behind. It is the best way to troubleshoot.

It is possible to replace such a connector but finding the part is the trick. Usually somebody would cut the part from a junkyard and splice the wires though it's a good chance you can pull the pin sockets and transfer to the harvested part

Thanks for the reply. Been super busy haven’t checked out any videos or diagrams. Any other videos i should check out for other possible culprits when I sit down tonight? Also the connection when loose loses control of the windows and the mirrors.

Borrowing an image from cn90, these are the connectors you having trouble with?



If only the retention mechanism on the locking shell is broken, you can swap the mechanism from a donor vehicle, as I think the pin block and wiring can be removed from the locking shell.

In this image from Crowz, you can see how the internal wiring block (black part) is separate from the locking shell (blue part). This is a head unit cable but I think the door switch cables are similar.

And at a pinch, you can use a blob of hot-melt glue to hold the connector in place.

You’re spot on. That first image is the issue. I’ll search for a donor vehicle then. Also where is the second photo located? I could examine it aswell

The second image is behind the head-unit and only shown as a example.

I love my Foxwell NT510 Elite, but after watching a review of the NT710, I've got it on my Amazon wishlist.

The 510 works great, and it has got programming for BMW/Mini/Rolls Royce & General Motors vehicles installed (and I'm about to buy the Toyota/Lexus/Scion software, soon); so, as long as it works (bought in January '21, anticipating the X5 in May '21), I wont get the NT710. But, when and if the 510 fails, ....

Here are two good YouTube reviews of both scan tools:

The 510 wouldn't read ECU on f10 535 2015 else I'd still be using just the 510.

The 710 with wifi and can update itself is enough to make it the one to own.
