good work, all the best.

As for the polarity, it will all depend on where the switch is (so to speak) to find out if it will drive the right way. Don't think you want it to drive the wrong way.

you should be able to work out that fairly easily without connecting it first.

see picture above Stephen.....

It all works schaaaaaweeeeeeeeet!....(YAY!)

I was having a bit of fun with the polarity comment!...I assure you buddy!.....I used a multimeter, prior to committing to a solder joint.

Saved me some serious dosh, this fix!!

with a dwell/'action' of only <500ms (half a second), it luckily would create no issues if you were to wire it the wrong way, (gear damage wise)....it would just work in reverse....no internal 'gear callibration' was necessary either!....the gear either swings one way or the other..creating a push/pull action.

PS. It's still working!!!..(it's had about 300 test 'actions' so far.)..I expect it to last a few years!

hahaha...nah...that guy is a pro...I'm a hack.

but a good one :)

I was looking at the original item you had was was thinking jaycar myself. only issue I saw was resealing it.

Thanx Chris!...if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have got my ass into gear and actually attempt it...(the Yen thing scared me!)

Yes, re-sealing...well....I thoroughly inspected the area of my boot for any traces of splash or oxid....couldn't find any, dry as a bone.

So I taped her up.!......Honestly, if she fails I'll enjoy fixing it again...I have access to many robot arm servos!..lol!..(Z-axis drive motors).

Ok, good work and I vote you Chris 2IC!

Whatch your back Chris...

So what did you save, what was the part worth?

So, if we get the same problem we can come and see you about the supply of a Robot Arm Servo.

Honest...I've got nothing on Chris....(waves the Chris banner)

I was quoted between 160 and 200 buh, plus fitment, from Nissan...a phone call, with the FAST numbers from Chris.

The cost to me in actual was, ....'my time'.

But Stephen, if you ever need some help (with this unit)-(heaven forbid), I'll gladly help you...the motor is nothing special, in itself....and I'm willing to bet that a better sized item (motor) could be found at a shop.

If I had the time I'd ask for your units, fix them then send them back....(if I had the time).

Cheers mate.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
