Help!! While working on re-attaching my rear door panel, I dropped it as I was attaching it to the door, and broke off the ribbon cable right where it connects to the plug. Its too close to the connector plug where I cannot even attach it if I could even fix it. I know its an impossible part to find. Any suggestions?

What does that ribbon cable attach to?

It attaches to that module you see there and then to the door to various parts on the door. When I drive now it alerts the dashboard lights and turns it red and warns me that the door is opened; it beeps every single time I step on the brakes.

You will need to buy a new wiring harness from dealer or maybe off ebay.

Those ribbon cables are repaiable with the correct tools. If you have time call some electronic parts/repair shops and ask if they repair ribbon cables

If not I believe, repeat I believe the cable part number is 203 540 37 05---cost about 25 bucks----DOUBLE CHECH WITH A DEALER!!

From the photo it doesn't appear the wires broke. IF the wires aren't broken all you need to add is a cable clamp to reduce the stress on the wires/plug. IF the wires are broken you can as previous post said, repair/replace connector.

MB supplies a repair kit to the dealers to fix the flat wire cable. Check with your local dealership.

when my windows were tinted the shop messed up and broke the cables on both doors, i just replaced the cables, easiest option

I hope the shop paid for the replacement cable and the labor at the dealer.

LOL---Seven years later, but I did get that part replaced and cost me about $35, I did the labor, back in in 2013!! PS---you can reattach the ribbon cable, glue or tape it to hold it together and solder the wires too!!
