Hi there..

Im my R32, my rear window demister doesnt go.... now I've searched already and didnt get anywhere.. so bear with me.. I have pulled the switch out of the cluster, and tested it to be good, so i know its not the on/off button at fault... all of the wires etched on the glass are fine as ive tested them too... so there must be another part of it, like a relay or something, but i dont know where it is! any suggestions... the orange light doesnt even come on when the button is pressed...

Cheers,

Damo

ive had a bit of a look through the fuse box and everything seems sweet.. although i dont know specifically which fuse is for the demister as i cant read japanese.. but i am quite certain its not a fuse... there must be a relay or some sort of other control unit for these.. any ideas? esp if even the orange light doesnt go on the button...

dunno if it helps but mine did the same thing since i bought it no light or anything then one day i was looking at pulling the switch out and just pushed the button in and out a couple of times and gave the button area a good hit and then the light started working and the demister has never missed a beat. So it was probably just a bad connection in the switch or maybe it hadn't been used for a while but thats what happened with mine. Its not hard to get the switch out and check the wires anyway just 2 screws i think but thats if u have to start checking power and earth at the switch and then at the demister as well.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
