okay, so they stopped working.. i don't drive the car often or even remotely regularly. Things will fail i get it. However they would work intermittently, and hitting the motor seemed to work in March (last time I touched the car). But then they died completely. Thought it was the motor based on that. But alas it isn't. And why is the electrical for it so complicated? Haha.
Testing with a meter;
4 pin connector at motor disconnected
- red 12v with high speed selected
- green w yellow 12v at any spot in the intermittent selection
- dark blue 12v with ignition or acc on
- brown 12v with all intermittent spots and low speed
However if you plug in the connector, all pins are 12v with the ignition on. From my readings the ground is switched. Does this happen in the green box under the dash? At no point does any of the wires ever read continuity to ground.
What I did find though, was of the two wires that go in to motor, only one was given 12v and the other was 12v just because of the circuit.. so I removed the other side of the motor from the connector and grounded it. With that.. all intermittent timing is proper, low speed works and they will park from any spot if you turn the switch off. However high speed doesn't work. Not sure how the circuits go for that. The top jumper is just to assure full battery voltage to the switched power from the battery. To rule out voltage loss being an issue from those wire nuts I didnt install haha.
It will work this way with or without that plastic jumper box that installs over the 4pin connector. What is that anyway?
