Hi, im new here. Just got my second MGF, the first 10+ years ago and always regretted selling it. So I've just bought a 98 Abington VVC, which needs some TLC but is mechanically great at 67K and new belts and gasket etc.

So the problem is after a superlock ( by accident) the drivers door has locked and cant open it. got the roof down, the door card off enough to get into the door (the previous owner left screws out, fortunately) and the situation was:

  • the 6 pin connector at the bottom of the door was unplugged
  • the two pin connector  ( C1450 ) was unplugged, and the car end was replaced with two crimp connectors, which I assume had fallen out.  I think the 6 pin had caught on the window mech and pulled apart when i closed the window.
Too dark for photos now, but I'm wondering if anyone has a way to undo the Superlock either manually, or I've seen mention of a 12V pulse on the two thick wires on the 6 pin  (orange and pink) ? is that for the superlock on normal lock?

I'm kinda assuming I may need new relays or similar in the future , but at the moment I'd be over the moon to just open the door!

Help!! and thanks in advance.

Freddie
