Lost All Electric Options Need Help!

Hey guys need a little bit of light shed on a bit of a wiring gremlin that's made my car near impossible to drive on these hot summer days!

I have an r32 gts factory 20de that I've converted to de neo to make it semi bearable till I'm off my ps..

A few months back I had a roller gtst shell to get parts off and make a bit of money on. Discovering that my doors were full of rust where the mirrors bolt on I decided to swap the rust free gtst doors onto my car, when I did this I ran the existing gts door loom into the new gtst doors running the original window switch on the passenger side and the original drivers side master control panel that controls mirrors and both windows. After finishing the job I went to put my windows down to find nothing worked! I started by swapping out anything I could with spare things like the relays and switches with no success in solving it. I hooked the regulator that makes the window go up and down to the battery to see if it worked on 12v which it did so it's not the regulators. The fuses were fine and the relays were also fine. As it sits I have two wires that I touch together to operate the drivers window as its my only car and I commute an hour a day to work.. Dodgey I know right! Has anyone on here experienced a similar problem with their 32? Also need to manually lock the passenger door as my central locking went out with the rest of the electrics. It's been driving me crazy lately as its been getting hotter where I live! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! And yes I spent hours Google searching it with no information on the topic

    • New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
    • Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.
    • Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.
    • Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?
    • Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
