Well, we'll see - I'm lucky it runs

To add to this thread, I fixed a myriad of stored codes last night:

2 Faults Found:
00668 - Supply Voltage Terminal 30 
            002 - Lower Limit Exceeded - Intermittent
00290 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Rear Left (G46) 
            012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit

First, this had to be the toughest wheel removal I've ever done. The aluminum had started to oxidize and corrode on the steel hub, and formed a ring so that I couldn't get the wheel off. It took some penetrating oil (PB Blaster), rubber hammer and a steel pipe to get enough leverage to start rocking the wheel back and forth enough for it to finally break loose.

Took my drill and an abrasive wheel and smoothed all the surfaces, and threw some AP grease on it. Good to go, but I anticipate the same issue on the other side.

Rear left sensor wires (two wires, brown and black) were completely ripped out of the connector...just dangling there

Had to depin, wire up two new pins, terminate, and then guess at which wire went in which hole. Fixed.

FYI...bogus code. Anyone will get this if Sirius/XM tuner is not activated.

Failing solder points on the door lock module. Eventually I'll have to replace it, or pull it and resolder.

1 Fault Found:
00778 - Steering Angle Sensor (G85)

Ended up being a combination of the ABS issue and having the battery unhooked. Needed to drive it and spin the wheel so the sensor would read a full path of travel. Fixed.

Opened up the passengers side panel - this mid range speaker was unplugged However, I found the low range speaker is non-functional. So two new speakers will need to be installed - so they match.

This one comes and goes, I'll have to monitor it and test it when it gets colder outside.

             Freeze Frame:

Light was not connected, in fact, I couldn't even find the connector because it had been pushed into the door. The panel had been pulled before, and the high range speaker had been broken off, plus the low range speaker ring had been broken off of the door panel.

I had to heat weld (with a soldering iron) and melt the plastics back together, then get everything lined back up and the panel back on. Pain in the ass, but it won't fall apart, and it all works now.

That's all for now - I'll get to driving it and shake out the rest of the cobwebs.

Can I rent you for a week?

Can I rent you for a week?

Yup, no problem. Just as soon as my clone finishing growing. I can pencil you in, say, 2026?

That'll be just fine, but only if I get the master copy.

You got it. Heads up, that guy is a little OCD.

I just can't believe what PO's do (or don't do) with their vehicles. I kind of enjoy going through the little stuff like this and getting it all functional and back to OEM working order.

Me too. Gives me a lot of pride when everything is tip top again.

Drove it back and forth to work and running errands and it's a great little runner. Thought I would show-off the MPG this BRM motor gets, compared to my CJAA.
