Motors Burnt out box in car door?

While changing my cars window i noticed a burnt out brown box anyone know what's required to change this and get it back to a normal state?

 

the expensive way would to replace the two section of the wiring loom, you may be able to get them from a breakers yard,

Next way is to buy the connector and cut old one off and replace

Cheapest would be to cut off connector and just join the cables with a suitable connectors and tape up

 

Personally If I couldn't find an original connector I'd either cut the wires and fit bullet clips at the ends or even find any connecor with enough pins and wire to that, doesn't have to be OEM

 

Doesn't look like it's damaged enough to break the connection to me.

 

Does look a bit bad, preventive mesaures are better than repairing

 

It's obviously been arcing and getting excessively hot, enough to almost melt the plastic I would sort it now rather than when it catches fire

 

Definitely.

 

What car is it?

 

Thanks for the comments everyone, are there any easy to use connectors without the need of a soldering iron?

and bsp it's a honda civic 1.6 sport 04,

 

you could use one of those terminal blocks and wrap it in heatshrink and tape.

Maybe you could get something like pcie power connector and socket. That would require a crimping tool though. In fact anything that isn't a screw terminal connector would require some kind of tool.

 

Unless you can get the exact same connector you might have to do some soldering.

I'd be looking at something like this , they'll be cheaper on ebay but I can't check whilst at work

 

I'd be looking at why it got that hot before replacing it, if it's just dodgy connections then let rip and get the tools out, otherwise.....

 

Any idea what the connector is for?
Might be worth checking your fuses, if any are slightly melted but not blown change them for a start

 

If it's in the door, and judging by the number of wires, I'd say it's the electric window motor wiring.


A half decent crimping tool and jap bullets would probably be the cheapest but safest method. Crimp tool would be about £20-25 and bullets about £5.

Suppose you could also use some of the heatshrink solder butt connectors, don't need a soldering iron, just a good heat source and it melts little strips of solder inside the joint and heatshrinks it all in one. Does mean that if you ever need to unplug it you've got to cut the wires and join again.

 

Was thinking the same, I'd be making sure the mechanism isn't jamming which can cause the motor to seize and cause such damage.

If you want to get technical get a volt meter on it and check all ok.

My dad has a logic probe that supplies current etc, simple yet awesome gadget
