today I decided to really start diagnosing my comfort access problems.
Did you have it do that cool thing where the unit inside the door handle overheats and oozes all the potting compound down the side of the door?

While it's fun to make old machines better, who makes belt driven things with no tensioner?? This is the factory motor location.
Door handle seems fine. Everything quit all at once, even the buttons on the fob. No power to the diversity module.Did you have it do that cool thing where the unit inside the door handle overheats and oozes all the potting compound down the side of the door?

Hopefully my variety of silicone wire shows up tomorrow and we can all learn how much fun repairing hatch wiring is.
Good news, your x5 probably shares the same problem and module.
I don't know anything about GM electronics. If it were mine I'd own a Chinese clone of the factory adapter and stolen software.My Saturn Sky I think had something similar crap out, the same 'wireless unit' controls the key fob and the TPMS, I guess it's known to go bad or forget stuff if it sits without power for too long, and needs to be dealer reflashed from what I can tell.
Unless you happen to know of a better way to do that?
My X5 has the cool feature that if I turn on the rear defrost it fuzzes out all the FM stations, so probably the same thing.

I thought about that but I read some reviews on the Ranger Station about how most of the time the thin wrenches would just bend. It would probably have been worth the $12 though just to avoid the aggravation.
love itjam power probe in the wire I just put in the car at the butt joint, get brave, push the + button.
Even in cars? How about modules that are selected solely on their merits?!...............the diversity module......................
Good tip but never saw a need for a PP. A good VOM, a test light, and a few jumper leads are all you really need.protip, power probe switch burns out eventually if you use it while the shit is jammed in there
if you push the switch, then jam it in there the arc is on the probe tip rather than the switch contacts
oh and also, "break" is always more important than "make"
I don't have one, but I've fixed them for co-workers.Good tip but never saw a need for a PP. A good VOM, a test light, and a few jumper leads are all you really need.

power probe is like all those things in one box that you just hook up to the car.Good tip but never saw a need for a PP. A good VOM, a test light, and a few jumper leads are all you really need.
"black man's whip"Why the fuck has my bluetooth quit working?
can't be too mad about that, I did change it's entire I drive system to one that shouldn't be in there. When I hooked up ista the first time it reset all the most devices on the bus, so it probably needs coded again. It's doing mp3 decoding so it's on the bus and doing something."black man's whip"
"bring money with"
"break my windows"
"beat my wife"
only milliamps worth of load. 3 amp fuse, 22ga wire. I don't generally use it to switch power to anything big. I have rigged it to a relay to use it to do dumb shit in the past and having a relay on a button is nice.

I didn't use it a bunch at first, but it's handy.
Duh, because for you it's graytooth.so. the conclusion of today's episode.
I'm colorblind apparently.
on the next episode:
Why the fuck has my bluetooth quit working?
Brother you gotta ask.85 BMW 325es 2.7 I6 Thing has 6, SIX! damned coolant temp sensors and switches. No one I've asked knows which one tells the ecm it's not cold. I ordered the two on the engine side of the t stat.
But a baby got punched thoBrother you gotta ask.
goes back to e36.oh old shit in there too? ASSumed it was obd2 only.
just doin' ford/volvo things?Blend door motors.
Fuck them things.
And fuck Ford for me having to pull windshield arms to get at the battery to disconnect it.
Cause of course the whole center console has to come out, and that means leaving it in gear. Nobody wants to listen to the dinger.
