first of all check the battery! then you could check the two microswitches under the rubber cover

I had to search what's "bodges" meaning.. and that's the perfect description of this crap! Thanks a lot, mate, i really appreciate! i hope i'll have time soon to figure out what's wrong

yes, i'm supposing the same.. i hope it's just a matter of bad connections. anyway, i saw in the left door the steel wire of the actuator cutting into the plastic clip at the end of the sleeve. i don't know if i've been clear enough! :lol

for sure something went wrong with the actuator and instead of solving the problem, he decided to completely lock the glass closed. of course i'm going to investigate and i want my windows working. is it possible to remove the motor and all the stuff leaving the screen in place? i dont't have...

hi mates! when i bought my truck, the previous owner wasn't taking really care of it (and fortunately i spent really few money in that transaction), as i'm discovering day by day. He was like "automatic lock doesn't work.. i don't know what happened" and also "rear windows don't move, i really...

Thanks Rick! i'm opening a new thread about that damn wires

IT WORKS!! Ok, let's calm down.. Now everything's fine and I can lock my truck with my key, again! I found my back windows locked with iron wires.. but that's another problem, I'll open a new topic about that!

this evening's raining.. I don't have a box big enough for my truck, so i have to work outside, in front of the box door. I don't want to dismantle the doors with this weather, of course.. but the back door is still naked.. so maybe i could make a fast try with that actuator... I know, it's...

luckily they were the biggest components! otherwise i could have become mad soldering any of the others!

woah! definitely an interesting position! I used to work on automatic packaging machine as an R&D mechanical designer, but last year I moved to Kemet as the mechanical leader of the developement of a new product. Being in automotive, maybe you could have heard about Kemet: we're one of the world...

I made everything at work, where i have all the necessary equipment and the supervision of a colleague! an electronic engineer (him) and a mechanical engineer (me).. so for sure we've made simple things just more complicated! unfortunately at home i have only basic tools for...

and here's a pic of an opened relay. as you can probably notice, there's something bad on the contact, and it's been cleaned a bit before taking the photo: it was worse than this. finger crossed! i hope that was the problem

Solder side

i can only add one attachement per post.. be patient! here's the new ones

Here we are! after some holiday and some misunderstanding with a supplier, today i replaced the two siemens relays that COULD be the cause of my issues. I ordered a couple of Tyco spares and here's some pics of what i've done

yeah, i'm sure about that! it took me about 2,5-3 hours to have the shaft on my hands, and about 20 mins to get it back in place.. i'm sure tor the other shaft i'm going to be faster! thanks guys, it's been really satisfying to see the final result of this dirty job!

here's the final result. of course a lot of cleaning of the axle and the car before mounting it back!

Here we are! yesterday I worked on the first axle, the left one. It's the only with a broken bood. I suppose it was still equipped with the original nissan boots because on the major diameter there was a solid steel ring instead of a clamp (tie, zip wrap.. what's the correct word?!) a lot of...

I bought Blueprint boots, but i didn't pay so much! I think 10€ each, but i need to check. You're talking about the inner shape for the tripod, right? or i misunderstood?!? Today new rotors, brake pads and some caliper components should arrive, and i hope i'll have enough time on sunday to do...

yeah, I was already thinking about it.. but it shouldn't be necessary, according to the service manual. I've already bought all four boots and also two Hippored fast boots, i don't know if they're known outside italy...
