Default Part needed: Wiring harness inside hinge

The wiring harness inside teh driver's door hinge has a bunch of cut wires. None of my windows go down now. I'm having a heck of a time finding a place where I can get it. Any tips?

Dealership. You don't want a used one anyway because the wires are going to be already worn and prone to break. On older models it is all part of the big dash harness, expensive and hard to replace, so you should just splice in new lengths of wire. Make the splices well away from the part that flexes when the door opens.

Thanks for the suggestion. There are maybe 4 broken wires, with a bunch more on the way. THey are all broken real close to the connector so I was unable to figure out how to splice extra wire in there.

Does anyone know what the stupid wiring harness is specifically called?

And yeah, it looks like a total pain to change. If I could even get just the door side connector, with whatever electrical connections are needed to plug in....

I think it's called the door harness. You can go to hondaautomotiveparts dot com (a dealer's site) and look it up.

Pins can be extracted from the connector and new wires soldered on if the wire is cut too close.

I priced one out at the stealership and it was like $400. so me and my uncle unclipped the harness from the door took the door off and completely bypassed the connector. it took like 3 hours to cut and splice all 20-30 wires (power everything in car) but eventually we got it.. couldnt be happier and saved a lot of money
