The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXV

Ghostvette · 03-02-2020, 09:28 AM

I had to replace the driver's side master switch, the passenger side switch and the passenger side power window regulator on my Honda.

The window quit going up and down, so I checked both switches and they showed good. So I ordered a regulator. I had the Dorman number, so I looked on eBay.

Well, that didn't go as planned. The regulator they sent was for a coupe, not a sedan, so the window lacked about 1/4" of closing. My first clue should have been that the slots for the glass didn't line up with the window glass. I figured 'Chinese can't read English and they mis-cut the slots. Nope. Totally the wrong part, it even said 'Coupe' on the box.

It's supposed to rain in the next few days, so I emailed the seller, told him the problem and said I was going to the auto parts store to get the right part. I told him that his listing was either incorrect or someone shipped me the wrong part.

Turns out the old master switch was a junkyard part and blew the 20A fuse for the window. It's a good thing I replaced both switches...

Oh well, since the car has 210K on the clock, a new passenger side regulator was probably due. Next up, I have to replace 3 of the 4 power door lock actuators, do front & rear struts, and replace the fuel pump module. It still pumps fuel, but the gas gauge is a bit wonky, the low fuel light comes on at just under a half tank.

It's part of the module, so I'll pull the back seat and drop a new one it. Sure beats having to drop a gas tank from the bottom.....

LMAO, I go through lotion by the barrel. You know a brother can't be looking all ashy!

Good Monday! Been raining most the night and this morning. Will get in the 70s by the end of the week. The weather is psycho during the spring here. We probably get another snow storm between now and Easter.

Add me to the growing list. My toes are still numb and ysterday my thighs were sore. I looked like a young old man getting off the couch.
