I have a 1999 Stagea RS4 Auto

My drivers window auto up and down only works sometimes?

The switch always works - window will always go up or down. ( when you only use the first click of the switch)

But if you go the second click (so you dont have to hold the button) only seems to work randomly.

faulty switch, realy box? maybe but the randomness of it just seems weird for a faulty part.

Is this a comon faul? heppend to anyone else? Or is it something im going to have to start pulling stuff

apart to work out?

Secondly, I have this silly little gizmo under my dash, LH side of the steering column, no idea what it is

or what if dose, here is a pic of it, anyone seen one before or know what it is?

Has wiring and some sort of elec box connected to it. My thoughts some sort ot servicing warning device?

Here is the pic

When you find out the problem with the window let me know. Ours has the same fault, we just live with it

yeah the window is just the switch . pull it apart , i mean right apart . if your keen . or get another switch from the wreckers if your not

Just the randomness of it dose not seem like a faulty part. But I guess its time to pull something apart.

Will report on findings if i get any :D

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
