Wtb: R33 Gtst Power Window Switches & Mechanism


Recommended Posts

I have a spare mechanism from when I fixed mine, but it can take hardly any weight and would need to be pulled apart to see if the stupid little plastic gears are okay. I ended up pulling the motor apart and fixing my existing one after finding the one I bought online was weak as all sh*t. I'll pull it apart tomorrow and see if I can fix it if I get time :) if I can you can have it for free, nice to empty the spare room a bit...

The actual switch is generally a burnt out solder isn't it? If it's series 2 then generally the relay dies, and series 1/1.5 the board in the switch itself (because there is no relay) burns out. Look for cracks and little black marks :)

cheers bud let me know if its ok or i can do it myself, ill have another look at the switches tomorrow :)

Pulled it out of the cupboard and pulled the whole thing to pieces, there were some half eaten cog pieces laying around near the worm gear which may have been causing some issues. When I pulled the shell off the motor itself though it smelt burnt and looked a little black, when I last tested it everything worked but just not well, so hopefully it's still all good. Come around and grab it, if it doesn't work just shove it on the tip :) I did the install 3 times (what you get for not testing the strength before starting, then turning the magnetic casing upside down on my current one which made it all in reverse) so if you need a hand or you're having particular trouble with any part give me a yell.

Where abouts are you located? I'm down in Kingston and can make short trips around the place atm (currently soaking up some of my 3 months time in lieu) so let me know.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
