driver's door lock/window problems (89 900S) - longish

Last week, both the driver's window and all central locking stopped with no warning.
1. WINDOW: Fuse OK; switch OK. I found a completely separated wire in the harness between the door and the door jamb. Butt connector installed -> working OK for the time being. I sometimes hear a faint click in the door after the the UP cycle. Window function for all other doors is OK.
2. LOCKS: replaced fuse #24. I found a PARTIALLY separated wire in the same location as above; the insulation was scored like with a stripper before you pull the insulation off. Another butt connector achieved a temporary fix. BUT, about a second after EVERY lock and unlock cycle, there is an audible click behind the dash on the passenger side (I assume this is the central lock control unit) - this was not there before.
Are these separate, coincidental events, or is there a common denominator at work here? [ie: a common ground wire in that bundle that is also bad, or ...............]
All those wires will be replaced VERY SOON, but I need to know if something else might also be happening.
Thanks for your time and patience!
