I recommend procuring a quality brand from a respected seller, given that you have conducted your homework. I installed an FAI component from an automotive supplier on my vehicle; it cost approximately £50 and functioned excellently.

Toyota's decision to reposition the centre brake light to align with the standard brake lights represents a regressive advancement in safety.

I have disassembled the connector within the door and removed the door card. I have examined the wiring from the switch pack plug to the frm, and all the wires appear to be in satisfactory condition. No rusting whatsoever. While it is possible that there may be some damaged wires at some point, I am truly struggling to locate them!

I am contemplating this; but, I prefer not to expend the funds without unequivocally verifying that this is the problem. I purchased an inexpensive imitation on Amazon for approximately £10, and it did not resolve the problem. I may require an additional OEM unit. However, my lord, these demons, gremlins, and magical wizards are indeed resisting vigorously.

I have been contending with challenges lately, and these challenges have manifested as wires. The master window switchpack of my E93 has become inoperative, and I am unable to determine the cause. Here is a comprehensive account of my completed tasks to date. Context The former owner brought it to a repair shop. They identified a "failed switchpack" but did not replace it. I have subsequently replaced and recoded the FRM independently. Only modified the VIN and UIF information. The interior lights are functioning correctly; however, the window issue remains unresolved. What Effectively Functions All four windows function flawlessly from: The button for the convertible roof My scanner and diagnostics The FRM can manoeuvre all the windows effortlessly. Malfunction Codes 9CBA – LIN operator unit disrupted 9CC4 – Disruption in passenger mirror LIN 9CC3 – Disruption in driver mirror LIN These remain unchanged regardless of whether the switchpack is connected or disconnected. Electrical Inspections The power and ground at the switchpack are accurate. 12V on Pin 6 (Red/Green). Ground connection on Pin 5 (Brown). LIN bus is located on Pin 4 (White/Brown). The presence of 12V and ground at their respective locations indicates that the problem does not lie between the FRM and the switchpack for those circuits. LIN also attains the switchpack plug at approximately 9-10 volts. Unusual Ground Behaviour The door is open; the ground measures approximately 40Ω to the metal in the fuse box. Door closed: resistance decreases to approximately 3Ω. With a jumper: 1.5 ohms. Enhancing the grounding did not restore functionality to the switchpack. Additional Remarks All fuses are functioning properly. No apparent damage in the door loom. The mirrors are also inoperative due to the switchpack, which is logical as they utilise the same LIN line. My Current Location The FRM can operate all functions, however the switchpack lacks bidirectional communication. LIN errors persist even when the switchpack is disconnected. All indications suggest either: An inferior switchpack, Or something upstream on the LIN line is impeding communication. I welcome any insights from those who have encountered this specific demon previously. I appreciate your assistance in advance.

Assistance Required for 2018 S320 Battery Issues
Geek2232 replied to Mistral's topic in General Discussions
Upon deactivating the vehicle, certain systems stay operational for a duration. This is typical; but, at times, systems may fail to enter sleep mode, resulting in a parasitic current drain. Did your esteemed auto electrician assess the current draw with the vehicle powered off? -
A friend installed a Honda Blackbird engine in a Smart Fortwo, and due to the Honda engine's insufficient vacuum for the brakes, he incorporated an electric vacuum pump from a Jaguar. That was effective, and while one might be inclined to believe that the smart can be quickly halted, it is not the case without a servo.

You have accurately identified the issue. I remotely secured the doors upon receiving a notification indicating they were unlocked. I will monitor this "feature" in the future.

AMG 2024 GLC43 The automatic folding of the mirrors upon closing the doors has inexplicably ceased to function on two occasions. The auto mirror folding option has been disabled in the CAR MENU settings. Is this the outcome of an automated online MBUX update?

New automobile? 318i or 318d? Or incinerate my funds?

I would sincerely recommend acquiring a Mk9 Honda Civic 1.8i manual. I own an N43 for five years, fortunate that it only experienced injector problems, which I was able to rectify independently. Prior to initiating the engine, I would offer a prayer that no more injector has commenced leaking. Some experienced misfortune with plastic chain guides fracturing and obstructing oil flow. -
This hose from the opposite side of the engine bay links to the pipe I am indicating, which appears to have a fitting for it to attach behind; however, there is already a hose from this pipe leading to one of the fittings.
-
This is the initial hose located on the left side of the engine compartment; its connection point is uncertain.

EGR error codes - P0401 and P042F

Thank you, I will examine it after work. Furthermore, it appears that the O2 sensor was either disconnected or removed from the vehicle by an unknown individual. Thank you once more for your comment.

Greetings, I recently purchased a BMW 316d with an N47D20C engine, which was displaying error signals for the O2 sensor. I was unable to locate it, then I realised it was absent. I saw an additional connector that is unoccupied, and I can not see a corresponding wire for connection. I attempted to research this on Google but could not identify its purpose; I am enquiring if anyone might provide guidance. The EGR warning light has illuminated, and I discovered several disconnected vacuum hoses in the engine. I would appreciate assistance with this matter as well, if possible. Postscript: I will include photographs tomorrow.
-
That is valuable information; thank you.
-
I spoke with the dealer today, and he informed me that it is an additional cost option; there is no spare wheel, so I presume there is no need for paying more for one.
-
Thank you for your response; I was only enquiring since it was referenced in the guidebook.
-
The guidebook states that the vehicle is fitted with a car jack and wheel nut spanner; are these tools included?
