Wtb - R33 S1 Driver's Window Autowinder Control Box.


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

This is a bit of a strange item, but it looks mine is dead.

I'm after the small black box that's found under the trim on the driver's side door in series 1 R33's. In series 2, they combine that box with the button panel, something which I learnt the hard way. This box controls the auto-winding function of the driver's side window.

The location is just under the arm rest, in the middle of the door, about 12cm long, 6x4cm

If you have one for sale, please PM me. I'd like to be able to operate my window before summer fully hits. :laugh:

cheers

Sciby.

out of curiosity, are you wanting to buy a new one cos your window is not working now. if so, pull apart the black box, you may break it a little, and you will find one of the solders on the circuit board has failed. get hold of a soldering iron and some solder and re solder the loose connection. test it b4 you put it back together. should solve that problem. very common. happened to me. only soldered once in my life and i managed to do it easily.

hope that helps you out mate.

Well, I suppose I've got nothing to lose, it doesn't work already. :D

I'll try it, but if someone still has one to sell, please PM me anyway.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
