If anyone can't open the back door, you can take off the door car rear and the speaker and access the loom from there, its was a lot easier than i thought actually (check the door mechanism first though as opening it from the inside when its locked can work, or both the indside and outside at the same time. Mine I suspect is a locked solenoid/child lock also as I have about 5 wires broken. Then you can pull it in to the rear door compartment, undo it and feed it back to the from of the car. I spent ages looking at my options and thought it might help someone. then do with the rest of this video. I have a loom second hand for £13! There are 3 types though and wires differ from one side of the car to the other. I think 5, 7 & 12 wires?
GREAT video! I have an Opel Zafira A (2003) and it suffers from the very problem. I don't know if the loom part number is the same, but at least your video is of great help. Greetings from Portugal.
I had this happen on our 2005 Vauxhall Mariva. I solder-spliced the connections and applied adhesive-lined heat shrink. I also applied PTFE grease to the inside. I'm think this was the cause of the Vauxhall mystery battery drain problems....
Just repaired both sides on my zaffy b. One side the window wasn’t working so took a wild guess. Bought a double kit. The left side was a right mess so fitted the kit. Was gonna leave the working side but decided to take a look anyway. The right side was worse than the left. All wires bare and touching. Kept getting a flat battery randomly. Now I know why. Nice work GM 🙄 tossers
Hello, Do you have any way of passing cable from motor space to the car's room like passing cable from engine space into the passenger compartment.. thanks a lot.
Holla21 The wires in the set I got are different colours to the ones in the original so you need to follow the guidelines which ones with it. There are 2 white wire but they are marked with a 4 and a 10 so look at for that. You'll need wire cutters, strippers and a crimper as normal pliers won't do it. You don't need to pull the Zafira interior out as all work cutting and crimping is done between the car and door. It is a bit fiddly though.
Hi, my situation is when I open my front door, the door warning light won’t show up, but the central lock works fine. Where should I check ? Thank you.
Hi, I have the Zafira A, and the blue and grey clips are missing from the rear door, and there is a hole in the doir, and a connector viable, but can take them off my other Zafira A, how do I do this please
My central locking is broke and the passenger side rear door wiring loom is the problem. The child lock is on and I can't open the door from the inside or out. Any clues on how to open the door?
try this, open the front passenger door, then lock the car using the key fob (leave front passenger door open), then lean in and open the rear passenger door using the interior handle, for some reason this worked for us every time until we got it fixed, annoying routine to go through though!
You will need to take the panel of the door off. The key fob trick above works because this is the emergency unlock facility but not with the child lock on.
@@vidsofstuff2233 you are %100 right I have to do this all the time we I lock the doors then reach in open handle it opens but you can hear it trying to open with the rest of the doors its just this one door would it be something to do with the solenoid my friend thanks.
Is'nt it convenient of GM to provide a 'Repair Kit' and charge you for their poor engineering. That the same problem is evident on the later Zafira B shows that GM/Opel really don't care! This is a serious safety breach and should be part of a wider recall. The issue, the wiring loom is too short and does not account for stress.
This has just saved me a serious fortune. Broken wires were exactly where you said they'd be. Thank you so much for your video!
Julie Phillips so how did you fix it?
Thank you so much for the video! I pulled the parts apart and located the problem.
Had the same problem. You saved me a lot of time with this video, thanks.

Excellent video. Thank you immensly for taking the time and effort to make it :-)

Swietnie streszczone i obrazowe filmiki! Jako posiadacz Zafiry B bardzo skorzystalem. Dziekuje i pozdrawiam z Hiszpanii !!

Nice video. I recently buy a 2009 zafira b and i have the same problem

I crimped them, sound as, thanks
That's awesome 👌 👏 👍
Hello, Do you have any way of passing cable from motor space to the car's room
like passing cable from engine space into the passenger compartment.. thanks a lot.
You can get the wire loom kits off Amazon or eBay for around £50. I just got a pair including the rubber boot/cover for £85.
Tony have you got a link?
Holla21 Here's the set I got but there are others.

Thank you.
Would this make the car alarm go off on its own?
Will this also drain my car battery?

If you want less breaks on those wires then shrink wrap the entire end.
In my meriva a with central look the rear left door still be open and there were some broken wires.
Simone Cassino exactly the same happened to me. I bodged the wire to close the window and then ordered a new loom.
Pressing the blue and grey at the same time is not working 😢 can someone explain?
Hi, at 3:00 it is said „the top 2 are very easy to remove.” HOW???
How did you manage to do it?
really when you cut back the wires you should do it at slightly different lengths

Too bad that the genuine is costing triple, considering that they fucked up in a first place!
Hello, which wire is speaker wire?
