W203,2002 boot lid issue

[delb0y]

Hi guys

Need some help I need to replace my boot lid. The lock stopped working and was cheaper to buy a whole lid as old one was rusted .

The new one has 7 wires and old lid has 8

Anyone know how I would go about connecting the wires ?

Any help appreciated

When I replaced the boot latch mechanism on my 2002 car, the new latch (2nd hand from a 2005 model) had a 3-wire plug connector and my original one had a 4-wire plug. I just matched the three wires from the new to my old loom and left the 4th wire out, it all works perfectly well. So, that might be the reason why you have 8 wires going to 7 wires now, so just try joining the wires by colour to colour and you should be ok.
