Fail
Attempted to replace the driver's side handle carrier. First time ever attempting this (first time removing door panel actually). 2 hours later all I had accomplished was getting the door panel off and discovering a ripped vapor barrier (from the previous owner). Put it all back together and now 3 of the 4 windows and the passenger side mirror will not respond to the switch panel. Removed the switch panel and reinstalled the connectors multiple times. No luck. Only had about a half-day to work on this so had to stop here. End result: Door Carrier still broken, Window controls broken, side mirror control broken, multiple clips broken. Ugh.

If I push the lock button down it pops right back up. But now that I think about it maybe it hasn't really worked in the first place, because more than once I forgot to unlock the car and was able to open the driver door which triggered the alarm. The rear door DLA doesn't work either; I can hear the actuator clunking, but no locking. Been like that since I got it, grabbed one off a junked E53 but odds of it working are not great. I know you posted awhile back about tearing it apart and replacing the little motors, but I haven't pursued that yet.

As for the switch box, I found the bigger connector to be kind of a bitch to remove, but it all worked afterwards, so maybe you pulled a wire out of place?

Replace the vapor barrier..unfortunately they are pricey...maybe you can find a used one, but the E53 vapor barriers are much thinner (poor quality) than E39 or E46 a bag of extra door clips are a good thing to have on hand as is some Butyl. And be prepared to glue the black plastic that separates from the door with RTV - I use Ultra Black Gasket maker |

If the harness plug is the issue, is a replacement of that section of the wire harness the easiest answer? Swapping a new plug on seems…ambitious.

Found a bag of 50 door panel clips for $7 on the hamazon. To which "black plastic" part are you referring with the RTV? The vapor barrier?

The door card itself is made of several parts and the upper plastic panel is glued to the lower section. This joint can fail when removing the door card. You can use MasterGasket Black to bond the door card parts back togther.

Yes as mentioned, the hard black plastic pieces on the inside of the door panel that hold clips and otherwise secure the panel to the door at the top...The glue from the factory fails and the black plastic comes off...almost every time I remove a panel..... I use gasket maker and clamp the black panel to the door panel overnight. |
