Left-hand drive cars with a passenger air-bag and right-hand drive cars:
Remove the upper part of the facia. On right-hand drive cars, the main instrument must also be lifted out.
2 Cut the cable tie around the lead to the connector.
3 Unplug the connector and press it out of the flap motor mounting.

7 Connect both the sensor leads.
8 Press the one part of the connector into the actuator motor mounting.
9 Plug in the connector and install a cable tie around the lead and the actuator motor mounting.
