Quick question for all you junk yard scavengers out there;
I managed to find and scavenge a good conditioned drivers side door latch. Its really hard to find a wrecked P38 that has not already had that part pilfered. :crybaby2: I brought it home, and read through the repair operations details on the main page. I then proceeded to pull my door apart and remove the latch only to find that the connectors are not the same style. Unfortunately there is nothing mentioned in the details about different styles.....After searching the forum and reading through some old posts, its now apparent that the different connector styles coincide with Gems (which I have), and Bosch.
My question is, has anyone been able to successfully modify/wire match and splice to make these interchangeable?
ray: I figure that if the only thing that is different is the connector plugs, then its do-able.
Thanks for any advice guys
