So Rayz_Si, which car are we talking here, the 91 or 96 Civic, or maybe it's the Voyager or the Caprice, how about the Mazda?

MM&Y of car is always a good way to start here. 94

my whole driver side floor harness has freyed apart after being corroded. So, unfortunaly you need a new floor harness. Unless you want to remove the fender and pull the floor harness out, whats to say it wont snap apart again?

I would scour the junk yards for one, from an EX of course. I tried to repin and repair mine, but eventually got fed up and ran wires just for my drivers window. The floor harness is a bia.

The easiest way is to unplug the door harness at the connector on the "A" piller, peel off the rubber boot, depress "locking" clip and unplug, remove door panel and speaker, pull door harness through speaker opening, you may have to "unclip" a harness "hold-down" or two.
You will now have lots of room to work with, remove the tape holding the door side of the rubber boot to the harness and slide the boot back to expose the broken lead, solder and shrink tube the lead back together, you can get the 1/4-1/2 of wire you need by carefully pulling the broken lead, [door side], inspect the other lead, if one is broken there may be problems with other leads.
Once repaired, slide the boot back into place, be careful to "orientate" the rubber boot properly before re-taping it to the harness, reroute the harness and plug it in, test everything before you put everything back together. 94
