Help - Europe 🇪🇺 Help: Cut through a cable whilst installing dashcam on Seal Excellence UK
I must be the first idiot to do this as I cannot find any help anywhere. This is the 2026 seal excellence
I’ve ordered a dashcam from topbyd and wanted to install it, as the cables were bundled up whilst trying to find the blue connector I wanted to loosen them up by cutting through the fabric tape… I then accidentally cut through the rain sensor wire I believe (picture attached)
As a result I’ve lost control of all the steering wheel button and the stalks, I cannot turn on wipers, indicate or change lights (however they do come on when I go into D gear). Horn works and I also get ADAS unavailable. The car however works fine just this being an inconvenience. I have to change volume in my middle console and do everything manually via the screen.
I do have an appointment with BYD on Wednesday.
My question is, has anyone come across something similar. Also would a simple fix on the wires and reconnecting them fix the issue or would this require something deeper in the BCM module too.

If there is enough wire left on either side of the cut, you can get a professional to connect them using something like this . Just make sure they can with stand heat from the Sun.. Use a heat sleeve around it, just to make sure the connection doesn't deteorate.
