Default Need to swap passenger front door. Where is the harness connector?

Unfortunately got hit by a car (at a gas station!! Argh) and my door is all crunched in. I have the replacement door but where does the main door harness go? Anyone know what I need to take apart to get to it?Looks like from the rubber boot there's about 6-8" or so of wire, so it can't be too far in. Praying I don't need to pull out the whole dash or something crazy. Could not find ANYTHING online about this or even a schematic.

Thank you all in advance for any guidance! This is my first post in here.

Its in the kick panel towards the the bottom right of the passenger dash. You need to remove the bottom door sill (be careful of the plug for the LED Lexus symbol), kick panel, and weather strip. You'll see a plastic mold that passes the wire harness from the door boot to the kick area. There will be plugs at the end of the wire harness loom.

I had to do some wires for my remote start/alarm and requires fishing wire into the drivers door which is exact as the passenger. Not too sure about the rear doors.

Thank you!! I'll be really careful around the Lexus light. I'd hate to mess that up, one of my favorite things about the car. I'll try to take some pics and post for the next person in this situation.

Yes, start on the side closer to the rear door then work your way over towards the engine side. The door sill has some very strong clips, be careful but don't under estimate it.

hi did you manage to replace your door? I am looking at swapping my rear door. Any tips will be much appreciated..

did you use the donor door harness? Is it a plug and play swap for the harness?

thanks
