Yeah, I don’t fully understand it and don’t know that I’m willing to commit any brainpower to trying to understand. If it works, it works.
Update on this: I removed the actuator and set the tambour to the defrost position. I cut power to the car and then re-connected and started the...
That’s entirely possible. The wiring harness is pointing forward. I’m not sure if the connector would reach if I mounted it upside down, but I’ve...
I do know that my actuator started in almost exactly the same position as yours and rotated in the same direction as yours on power-up, for what...
I’ll probably get to the bench test later this month. I’ve got a lot going on at the moment. Oh well, progress is being made
Here is a video of the initial power-up. The yellow airbag wire is toward the front of the car. This is a view from the top down into the center...
I was wondering if the relationship is fixed. It may not be and it is possible it changed slightly during the gear swap, but the change would have...
US Customs finally released the package to me and it arrived a couple of days ago while I was out of town. Got back in town today and managed to...
I am currently waiting for my replacement gear to make its way through the mail system (it cleared customs, so it’s down to the USPS to get it the...
Incredibly helpful. Is the gear press-fit onto a shaft that it needs to be removed from or is it just set in place and is retained by the case?
Yeah, I don’t know. I’ve already ordered a new gear for it and hope that’s all the system needs. It is still an unknown as to whether the rest of...
I used your suggested method and got the case to open. I had hoped to easily spot the problem and, well, see for yourself if you can find anything...
Great info, thank you.
Perfect, thanks. I only gave it momentary power with the 9V battery. It did not move even a millimeter when it was hooked up to power in the car....
Yeah, my original one was missing, so I’m stuck with this one.
Bench tested the actuator with a 9V battery. I can hear the motor itself running, but the output shaft does not turn. Reversed polarity and the...
Yeah, definitely not the most useful test, but it was easy enough to try before I pull the actuator back out. I just wanted to see if there was...
Ordered some new DeoxIT and applied it to the connector with no result. While doing this, I noticed one male pin (actually the +power pin) was...
I’ll double check, but a cursory check didn’t look abnormal. A lot of this will have to wait until later in March due to work, but I’m excited to...
I already had the white (maybe technically clear) connector off the ECU, but hit a road block at the yellow connector. I checked the 10A fuse and...
