Thank you very much Filip, sounds like getting the door card off is my first step in resolving this. Any advices on what is the best way to do that and cause minimal amount of damage?
Also do you have any basic diagram showing what wires would I need to pigtail when I eventually get to the plug inside the door? Aahhhh, I should have never disconnected that battery - regretting that so much now
Thanks again for your input - really appreciate it
