power mirrors

Started working on my power mirrors today. The problem is the plug in the door frame. The big white one that takes the wires from the door to the inside the car. I have a lose wire. So have to take that apart and repair it.....I did have mirrors working for a few minutes, but I think I will have to take it all apart to clean and maybe repair the wiring harness:(.
Going to be fun, but after that I am going to get the passenger side window working. Have the motor, just have to put it in..
Mike, STIG on the forum, helped me do the valve adjustment last week. The car runs much better. Going to take it out again tomorrow to get it up to speed and see how it runs.

power mirrors working

Well, for the first time in years the power mirrors are working. If you do not have power to the mirrors, check the plug in the door. You have to take the speaker out and pull the plug out that is the wiring harness in the door jam. Clean it good, use some wd40, or whatever you want. The windows will work better too:). Now I have mirrors!!!

exhaust tip in the morning:)
Will get pictures of that process

hartge exhaust tip on

Got the exhaust tip on today. The car does not even sound the same. Gone is the drone of the exhaust... now it has a nice clean rumble. Can't believe an exhaust tip can make that much difference.
Will get a picture up later today.

Can't believe how a bit of wd40 can make things work again. The passenger side window is now working. The wires were dirty, so out comes the wd again, and now I have working mirrors and windows...off to the coffee shop in the morning with all the windows down...:)

Careful, WD-40 leaves a film that will attract even more dirt, grime and junk over time. For cleaning electrical contacts you should really be using electrical contact cleaner. WD-40 is more of a lube/mild solvent.

Good point: I have to take this all apart again to fix the speakers, so I will get the correct contact spray and do it right. Thanks for the input, I was just trying to see if I could get it to work.

Last of the parts going on

This morning I got the fog light housing and put it on:). Now all my lights work!
Had to take a bunch of stuff off to get to the bolts, but after getting under there and messing around a bit it went all back together.
Here are some pictures of where we are with the car today....bought in Oct of 2014.....
Will get the side decals on at the end of the month...from then on its just finish the interior including the gauges, and do maint. on the car....although I am checking tomorrow on having the headers coated:)
enjoy:
Sorry about the blurry pictures. I will try to fix them later.

John, great job with the car!

[2002jm]

thanks

John, great job with the car!

Thanks, hope you enjoyed the thread. I have to get the side decal set on and finish up the interior. Having a time finding the correct material for the sport seats:)....just need more time.
Taking the car in next week for a 'tune'. Might use a wide band on it to get it set correctly...
should be a good learning experience for me.
thanks again,
