Have had 530t installed (96 BMW Z3) for yrs w/ no issues until recently. Now no response from window switches, no one touch, non responsive via Python 872 alarm or remote (alarm+remote work fine), no relays clicking & no movement.
TESTING I'VE DONE SO FAR:
MM: Multi Meter
*Tested w/ a 530t from another car & same non responsiveness...Both 530t modules verified working.
*When Wired OEM – windows work normally (non binding regulators both greased & operating smoothly).
*Windows wired to 530t as below – does NOT work at all.
*Rewired 530t AC(RED Constant) w/ 12 gauge + Re-grounded 530t gound wires(3to1).
*MM Window Switches as wired below – BOTH switches, BOTH directions – 12v OK.
*MM 530t module harness – RED 12v Constant – 12v OK.
*MM 530t module harness – NO/ZERO voltage @ any up/dwn wires, either harness, both directions.
*MM 530t module harness – Ground/Continuity, all wires, either harness – OK.
CPL ?'s...
-Can the alarm(Python 872) cause these issues?
-Can these connections cause any issues?:
530t ORANGE to 872 ORANGE GROUND WHEN ARMED OUTPUT.
530t RED/WHITE to 872 VIOLET/BLACK AUX 1.
I have limited experience w/ alarm/stereo DIY installs but the 530t, which I installed originally, seems quit
simple yet I cannot deduce what the problem is. Hopefully someone can add there expertise & advice,
which is much appreciated.
