Steve:
I do not understand why you need to disconnect connectors 3 and 4, since the switch A has a single plug, and seemed unrelated. Is it to remove the door panel completely? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

I am afraid I really cannt say; what you see is exactly word for word what is printed in the service manual for the vehicle, and I do not happen to have one of these vehicles here to look at. VW does not provide the best service information, and what there is is usually poorl;y translated from the original German.

Once you start disassembly, things should be much clearer... I am afraid there is no more printed in the repair procedures for this to send to you...
