hi all!

i need help with my window lifter module. i want the windows to shut when i lock the doors. the window module is activated by an earth signal. the existing wires are: - constant charge and - earth when unlocked, charge when locked (opposite to what i need)

this is the switch i have made:

post-35108-1209554562_thumb.jpg

the new wire is on the control rod for the lock, which earths when it locks by running into the strapping. this mostly works but it also earths when the door is bumped - closing or driving over bumps. it's a short pulse but enough to close the windows.

anyone got any ideas? i thought maybe a capacitor to filter the pulse, or a relay but not sure how to do it.

i would appreciate any help...

thanx

you asked me via PM about this:

firstly thats a door actuator so there is an alarm in there somewhere. do you wnat to use the remote control to wind up the windows or the key?

if alarm. find the wire that goes to GND when you remotely lock the car. stick a diode (1N4004 will do) with the band side facing the actuator. if you are doing it with the key only I need to see the lock timer (drv kick panel).

i was using the remote but my alarm/turbo timer means that when i lock the car the windows don't activate until after the timer finishes, and then several seconds later the immoliser kicks in.

i don't want to walk off with the windows down. it also means that if you turn the car off the windows go up when the immob starts automatically. which sucks if you're waiting in the car.

that's why i'm changing to the door locks themselves - that way they only lift when i lock the car - remote or key and not when i don't want them to...

nup. only just got into it. i mustn't be doing it right.

i got the bc639 --> i've got the collector grounded, the base connected to the lock wire (live when locked) and the emitter on the trigger wire.

so far the windows aren't going and the pass door locks aren't following the drivers side lock.

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
