That part of the loom will likely run along the left sill, so you can see the other end come out by the left door A-post. On the s3, it includes the rear window heater also. You should also be able to see it under the trim at the left B post and will need to replace it from there back to the corner of the car if you don't have access from anywhere else. The run along the door goes through a grommet at the back of the door under the vinyl so you won't be able to simply pull it through.

Get youself a cat.

kind regards
Marek

Hey jory21
Yeah I just made up a set of wiring looms for my s2 OTS.
Body looms are really simple to make .IIt connects to the engine bay loom and the dash loom under the glove box via bullet connections.
It then runs forward around the edge of the foot well then through a groove on the sill and through a grommet in the bulkhead.
Start by getting the original loom out, lay it straight along the floor and copy it.
The wires, from memory so I could be wrong are reverse GU tail R, fuel level and fuel warning light WB, GB, indicator GR brake GP interior light PW, and a black that earths the fuel sender with an earth bolt together with the light cluster earth.
You may also need an extra wire if you have a heater rear window. I ran a couple of extra wires so I could add a tracker and a sub at a later date :bigrin:
You will need a packet of bullet conectors and some harness tape, don't use insulation tape. I also wrapped it in a cloth tape to make it look more original.
I noticed you are in oz too. I got all my wiring from a couple of places, autosparks.co.uk and autoelecticsupplies.co.uk they have all the cotton insulated cable s too.
