Thank you

window switch troubleshooting

Bentley doesn't have diagnostics for the window system, just R&R instructions. Hoping someone can help me pin this one down to either the switch or the GM5 module. Car is a 2005 Cic so I have the "all-windows" button.



1) All down functions work normally for front/rear windows. (one-touch\manual\all-windows).

2) Passenger front & both rears up works normally (one-touch\manual\all-windows).

3) Driver's front doesn't respond to all-windows button up.

4) Driver's front doesn't respond to first click of up...the manual up mode.

5) Driver's front runs in manual up mode when switch held in one-touch up position. IOW, it stops if switch is released from the one-touch up position.

6) I'm sure it's not a matter of resetting as I've successfully reprogrammed the passenger one-touch operation several times for various reasons.

7) Driver's side auto up/down with door open/close works properly.



A replacement switch is relatively cheap (as E46 repairs go) at $45, but I'd still hate to spend the money just to find out the problem is in the GM5 module. Any suggestions on how to narrow down the culprit. Obviously, I'm assuming motor/regulator are fine since they do appear to be operating normally once they receive a signal.



TIA.

Sports pack on a 323i

After power steering flush, AT in emergency mode.

Guys today I decided to change power steering fluid.



I bought DEXIII(H) fluid. Used turkey baster suck all the fluid out of power steering reservoir, refilled it to full mark, turned ignition on, then turned steering wheel 4 times from left to right so fluid could circle around.



I was ecstatic, how easy steering wheel was turning, turned ignition off.



Then did it all over again 2 times.



By that time fluid in reservoir was bright red, like in the bottle.



I was supper happy with my self.



But when I turned ignition on after I was done, light came on and car started choking and RPMS started dropping and car shut off by it self.



Now it just shuts off after couple of seconds I start it. I can hear steering pump making 2 humming noises.



I know its not the fluid because its the same one I use in my Automatic Transmission.



Emergency Mode Transmission



I really need some help. I can't even drive my car anymore.




Any E46 Trade: Suede Interior for Leatherette (Local Only)

Please Read Ad carefully!:



Up for trade my custom reupholstered black suede interior with that from a sedan for leatherette sedan seats. This was professionally done back in 2005 for $2,000 with no issues.



Excellent condition as it is usually covers in seat covers when it's in DD duties.



Trade criteria

  • Has to be done locally, Bay Area

  • Black Leatherette Seats (not leather) near mint condition (manual preferred, power seats will require you to leave the seats with me for a day so I can swap the upholstery)

  • Non-fold down rear seats (mounting points and hinges differ greatly between 2 versions)

  • Sedan




Parts include door panels, seats, + Bonus seat covers if you want to preserve them for years to come. Nothing wrong with the seats. Barely, if any, wear marks if at all. Stitching is good and material is still very supple



I encourage interested parties to come check it out in person. Located in Nor-Cal, Newark, East Bay area.



For Trade - Free as long as your interior meets the above criteria
