DIY e30 Power Windows Retrofit

[@richardwilliams8667]

excellent! I need you to make a dedicated video on how to disable the Oil Level check light on the overhead console. I carefully cleaned the level switch but the light stays on and not worth having since the dipstick is more accurate. I look forward to when you are started and running what warning lights you still have on.

Amazingly mine works really well. I keep it as an alternative to the dipstick.

[@snailspeedprojects292]

Thanks 👍 does your light comes on when standing still or when the car is moving? Mine was on while standing still. The oil level on the dipstick was at half full. I added the oil till it is full and light went out. Works fine now.

@@snailspeedprojects292 it has not worked for a long time no matter the level always red light on. I have cleaned it perfectly and the wiring is repaired. You can’t remove the globe so I want to disable it at the CCS box under the dash that controls this panel but need a video for that 🤣

@@richardwilliams8667 you could remove the light bulb

[@richardwilliams8667]

@@24pashka I'm too scared to break apart the panel. The smarter way is to disable at the Active Check Control junction box.

Hi Thanks for a great video. I was wondering if you knew how to depin the door side connector that you show at 1:59 - I am having some issues with my power mirrors and I suspect the female side of the connector has been pushed back in the plastic connector and I would like to pull the female socket out of the connector clean it and put it back in but I have yet to find out what tool I need. Thanks in advance!!! Knut

I used a cheap de-pinning tool and was able to depin the entire door harness to repair it.

Nice video. Where did you buy the new carpet for your car?? It looks very nice

[@snailspeedprojects292]

Thanks for watching. The carpet was sprayed with black textile/vinyl paint 🙂👍

What kind of material did you use for the rear parcel you restored?

[@snailspeedprojects292]

Generic speaker material from local auto shop

hell yea. need to save for later. not getting any continuity going from door to switch even though theyre getting power

[@snailspeedprojects292]

Thanks for watching 👍 might be corroded contacts in the door plug or a broken wire along the door sill and floor to the switch. Good luck 👍

[@itunesaccount760]

@@snailspeedprojects292 nice thanks. Realized it watching ur vid that the contacts on the door come out entirely
