Mine is stuck open and passenger side still goes up and down. Found this on how to fix.

my question is what did he actually do with the soldering. Did he just place some solder over the end in the picture or what.

Basically you are refreshing a "dry" joint. The solder on the board is no longer connecting the wire to the board. You will need flux to help the solder to flow.

I do have a solder gun to work with. Might do this tomorrow morning.

Have you tested the window motor. Apply 12v to the terminals and confirm it will move up and down first. The brushes in the motors are not replaceable. I am using Patrol motors in mine.

Yea they said another test is to see the passenger side window still works. Which it does.

Actually this only tells you there is 12v available in the system. It doesnt mean the motor physically works buddy.

Oddly enough after leaving the in laws to go home the damn window rolled up. I’m still gonna re solder whatever is giving it the fits

Test the actual motor, that's what mine was doing before the thing gave up completely. Try the simple things first!

How’d you set yours up to test

Mine had bullet type connectors which were not original, so i plugged male connectors on with short length of wire attached and used jumper leads from the battery. If your battery is in boot use someone elses car battery. You could also use a battery out of a 12v power tool.

I’m gonna tackle it today after I get done stripping the stain off my front porch. I’ve used the car couple times since and of course the windows worked fine but it still needs addressing in case I use it to drive into downtown and can’t roll it up when I park it.

Wise to fix it, when mine was working occasionally, It was broken into, the dog who got in stole the small change(master criminal) and smashed the ignition lock, destroyed surround, etc. I have the number of the car he arrived in, didn't call cops, just tracking him down and will deal with him old west frontier style.

    • Haha nice, my kids are the same two older boys say cars are boring while younger girls like them. My 1.5yo daughter watches D1GP on YouTube with me, holding a toy plate for steering wheel and making brmm brmm noises
    • Took the car out to see if it still starts, sure does. Daughter wanted to for a spin too, she loves it when it doses, also cries when we come home and try to take her out of the baby seat 🥲  I actually put the seat in for her brother, but he absolutely hates the shitbox. Anyhow, so after looking at real boats, and transoms, bait tanks etc. and scupper valves attached to them, I came up with ideas to improve the catch can. The primary goal was to stop the interior smelling like vented catch can shit when the windows are down OR when the HVAC is not recirculated. My catch can has a sump drain/feed at the bottom, 2x cam cover inlets, 1x outlet back to the intake pipe and 1x vent at the top. The initial theory was at idle, and off boost there would be just enough suction from the intake pipe (pre turbo) to pull back any smelly shit from the catch can before it could escape out of the vent (which does have 1x layer of foam and a fine mesh screen on top). It kind of works, however on hot days, the motor is breathing more than the suction provided from the intake pipe (pre turbo) and there's a bit of vapours escaping (not a bit amount, but enough to piss me off). I could have just sealed off the vent, however it would mean each time I take it to the track or decide to drive it with a bit of enthusiasm, I would need to remove the seal. To address this, using scupper valve idea, I used a 3mm sheet of rubber and cut essentially a valve that requires a bit of pressure to crack open and vent. Took the shit box for a drive today, came back and parked the car. No heavy stench, great success ☺️ I still would swap for a F80 LCI or W204 2012+ C63 AMG, if anyone is keen 😅
    • I'm with Kinkstaah on this one. Do it once, do it right. So much better for your mental health. The sneaky thing about the fuel pump wiring is that it will work perfectly fine for the longest time. Until that one moment when it decides to shit the bed. And it's not worth the paranoia from not trusting the car anymore. At least other mechanical issues announce themselves by developing some noise or other warning. If you have the funds, I'd suggest to go with a good kit like Frenchys and get the work done by a trustworthy shop. No regrets there. The only downside to the Frenchys kit on the Stagea/R32 GTR is that their fuel level sender is not on point. But looks like the R33 kit maintains the factory sender so should not be an issue. This is what the botched setup on my Stagea looked like before it stopped working. It had melted its way quite a distance down. Glad it didn't burn down the car.   Some links I came across when I looked for solutions: Radium sells a DIY wiring kit that looks promising. I didn't buy it though, I let my workshop decide on wiring. https://www.prospeedracing.com.au/products/radium-diy-fuel-pump-hard-wiring-kit-17-0031 https://www.radiumauto.com/DIY-Fuel-Pump-Wiring-Kit-P368.aspx   You can also get cheap replacements for the locking ring depending on how mangled it looks: https://www.kudosmotorsports.com/Nissan-17343-79900-Fuel-Tank-Outlet-Locking-Ring-for-Nissan-S14-S15-BNR32-R33-R34-AWC34 There are tools for unscrewing it as well so you don't have to abuse it with a screwdriver and mallet. The Frenchys one is expensive but I'm sure there are cheaper ones.
