I have a 1999 Stagea RS4 Auto

My drivers window auto up and down only works sometimes?

The switch always works - window will always go up or down. ( when you only use the first click of the switch)

But if you go the second click (so you dont have to hold the button) only seems to work randomly.

faulty switch, realy box? maybe but the randomness of it just seems weird for a faulty part.

Is this a comon faul? heppend to anyone else? Or is it something im going to have to start pulling stuff

apart to work out?

Secondly, I have this silly little gizmo under my dash, LH side of the steering column, no idea what it is

or what if dose, here is a pic of it, anyone seen one before or know what it is?

Has wiring and some sort of elec box connected to it. My thoughts some sort ot servicing warning device?

Here is the pic

When you find out the problem with the window let me know. Ours has the same fault, we just live with it

yeah the window is just the switch . pull it apart , i mean right apart . if your keen . or get another switch from the wreckers if your not

Just the randomness of it dose not seem like a faulty part. But I guess its time to pull something apart.

Will report on findings if i get any :D

    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it. 
    • Save the youtube time, I can explain in a couple of sentences:   Internal Combustion Engines run on smoke which is factory installed. If at any time the smoke escapes (generally via the exhaust), the engine will stop running.
    • That specific R33 GTST issue I ran across was putting a PowerFC into a series 2; it required a fuse added into an existing but unused circuit to fire up the PFC. That won't be the issue here as I assume the ECU powered up (OP surely would have mentioned if they couldn't connect). As Matt said, Haltech do have specific information about wiring in the Platinum Pro where there are minor differences across the 2 row plug models (R32/R33 from memory). Quick Start guide at this link: https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-055101-platinum-pro-plug-in-ecu/# At a quick glance, it is more likely to be a local wiring issue than ECU wiring (eg that connector near the left headlight might have differences) Start with the age old question....are you getting fuel and spark, at the right time
    • Stay away from Enkeis for track use, they crack, just ask the Evo kids. I'd take Murray's advice and put the widest forged wheels in the right offset under them I could find
