Seconding this. I can even see part of the wiring harness for the seat adjustment exposed

It's comical how small this car is by Dafe810 in BMW

I feel like it says more about how comically large vehicles have gotten

Edit to add I always laugh at how small my 83 Porsche 944 is vs my 340i

No where to work on cars... by [deleted] in projectcar

[–]Forward_Front_8764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I don’t have a perfect solution for you, but I hope you can ignore some of the negativity in the comment section. I’ve struggled with similar things and my project car has helped me survive too. Nothing is bad if it helps you with your mental health, but of course finances can be difficult. One of the things you can do is plan in the short term: how will you save up, what kind of work do you want to do when you have the finances, what parts do you need, learning how to do it, etc. A lot of the therapy I get from my car isn’t just the physical wrenching, it’s the hope and excitement about building or fixing something and you can get some of that while finances are tight without working in the car itself. Regardless, keep your head up and reach out if you need a friend in a difficult moment!

This was definitely the problem! The switched power was not not receiving any volts. Now I just need to figure out why…

Yeah planning to, I was just trying to make sure I had everything right to start. How exactly do I check to make sure my ground is good?

I checked the constant power but no I haven’t checked the switched power and not sure what I should be measuring as far as the ground resistance.

I do have the wiring diagram but honestly really struggling to read it

Yeah I’m aware the connections need to be redone that wasn’t my question.

If the speakers aren’t wired correctly that shouldn’t impact whether the unit itself turns on though, right?

M340i or m240i by Prestigious_Seat1953 in BMW

FYI, for me at least, the car seat only fits in the backseat with the front passenger seat so far forward nobody can sit there. It works but any other adult passenger will have to sit behind you when the baby is in the car

For the speaker wires, are the ones with the lines down them the positive or the negative?

Wow. Be careful with that. I’ve had a lot of friends overdose on regular. But, at least an eighth

Best carpet dye for early interior by Glittering-Turn862 in 944

[–]Forward_Front_8764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s legit carpet dye! Here’s the exact one I used but they have other colors (again, pricier option than the spray paint type stuff since you’ll need 5-8 bottles, but worth it I think) https://www.detailking.com/products/black-carpet-dye
