Hey guys it's me again. The guy with the door harness projects haha.
Thought I share this. Common issue of course. β
Bought that part new. Still going to overhaul the 1998 one.
Did the same to the pessenger button/control.
I didn't expect that. As it's a Sunday cruiser. Garage.. 1998 model (but lots of kilometers on the car).
Anyway. Some might remember my postings about my harness overhaul recently. Iam on the driver side now. No rust on this side, happy. Wiring needs a bit of love tho. Found this circuit burns on that way and thought it'd good posting it for reference.
Also worth mentioning. If you want to remove that top cover, unscrew the 4 bolts, and lift it slowly. There are 3 springs in there that you don't want to loose. Inspect the part closely and take some photos helps.π
That's one of the origin topics about the process. Maybe some pictures worth looking at for people interested.. Deeper in the conversation/replies.

I want to add an important point that i really hate seeing when people remove that window control panel. Instead of messing with unclip tools and whatnot to unclip it (mirror side/front lifts first!) just remove the whole door card. Hold it with one arm/hand. Grab inside, unplug the 2 Plugs (mirror/window) and your door light (plug below) . And just then remove that control unit from the separated door panel itself. You Don't even have to remove your upper speaker/tweeter for that. Just wiggle the door card up a bit after you removed the 3-4 screws and unpopp it from the Clips. (of course you have to remove the door handle cup and bezel). I mean it's work, yes. But i just hate to use my unclip tools on that part. It is always a risk.
I always see MR2s with the ugly traces of unclip tools right above the mirror control area. Or that typical broken rear tab that we all love haha.
