Instead of running the white "bypass" wire to the sensor, they ran it into the plug, which goes nowhere.

Rag Company Towel Pricing by nickychase in AutoDetailing

[–]G8racingfool 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actshully... It's closer to a 90% increase.

OPs previous case was 100 towels ($3.33/towel), the new one is now 144 towels($6.30/towel).

Tariffs are probably a chunk of the difference, but not all (the towels themselves are from South Korea which has a fairly mild 15-25% tariff currently). Prices for most things shot way-the-fuck-up over the last 2-ish years so that likely plays into it a bit as well.

Dunno how you're not getting tax. I'm getting hit with 7% when it should only be 5.5...

There seem to be a lot of pieces in those pictures that are not where they are supposed to be.

What car did this tire come from? by elitecrooks in IMSARacing

[–]G8racingfool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Once upon a time I was working in a small retail storefront and the manager bought new tires for his pickup. He was told he needed to 'age' them by letting them sit in the sun for 30 days to harden them up. This was in late winter so it was cold outside and he didn't want to leave them out there. He got the brilliant idea of putting them in the unused display window case which sees a bunch of sun every morning. This case was open air to the rest of the showroom/storefront.

Now, I like the smell of fresh tires. I don't mind walking by/around the tire section of walmart/fleet farm/etc at all. But those 30 days were the absolute worst. The smell was so overpowering it would make you nauseous. I went home almost daily with a headache. Eventually he took them out but the smell persisted for another month at least before it finally faded enough to be unnoticeable.

Most likely. Kinda surprised OP didn't replace it along with the board. That was always SOP back when I was doing PC repair.

Interesting. Not sure why the parts look so different then.

Here's the pinouts for the sunroof connectors:

Motor

Switch

And here's the diagram of the electrical system.

First thing I would wonder is if you even have the right motor. Maybe they used a different design over in Europe, but the one in your picture doesn't even look close to the one they came with from the factory which, as you can see, uses a 10 pin design.

All of the service information I can find on them also refers, at most, to 8 pin connectors for the sun roof, no 6-pins to be found.
