Re: Power antennae not working

You can test your relay as follows:

Take the relay off both plugs, car and antenna.

With a multi-meter, it should show:

Pin 6 is "open" (infinite ohms) to all pins.

Zero ohms (dead short) between pins 1 and 5, and between 3 and 4.

Pins 3 and 4 are otherwise "open" against all other pins.

Re: 93 SSEI Radiator fan ONLY WORKS with AC on

I believe that the Temperature sensor driving the fans will have two wires: black, and yellow, and it is possible that the sensor for the Temp guage will be black and green or possible just a single wire green.

The guage sensor is a variable resistance with about 40 ohms at high temperature (250F ...

Its been a while since I had mine apart, but I vaguely remember that the window-motor turns a worm-gear which pulls-pushes a nylon "gear". Only it is not a "gear" as such, but a semi-stiff-but-flexible nylon strip.

Re: Passenger Power Seats

According to the schematic, the lumbar electrics and the motion electrics are handled completely separately.

On the lumbars, the Left-Right switch provides power DIRECTLY to the lumbar switch, which in turn powers the appropriate air valve (and the pump).

For the motion motors, this same left ...

A bench test of the motor with the case removed, confirms that it indeed rotates the wrong way.

My antenna was working properly and then stopped abruptly this past weekend. It was fully retracted and would not go up.

Further test showed that ...

The "mechanical binding" theory is the usual answer.

I left the mounting bolts a little "loose" about 4 years ago, and never had the window stick since.
