O/T Welding and electrical advice sought

Posted by NVNL on March 8, 2025, 1:09 pm

The top hinge of the driver's door on my "farm only" Renault is tearing away from the door pillar and needs welding v. soon.

The husband of one of Mrs NVNL's tennis partners is willing to bring his welding gear over to do the job. He is an experienced welder but doesn't weld cars and is is worried about "frying" the ECU on the Renault, which would be unhelpful.

Is the welding likely to affect electrical components in this way?

TIA

It might disconnect the battery leads first.

The light at the end of the tunnel maybe an oncoming train

And unplug/disconnect/isolate the ECU as belt and braces just in case precaution.

My boy welds a large amount of cars. Disconnect the battery but never had a fried ECU in the last 17 years of welding cars.
