Brake pad wear indicators

That's an interesting thought. I don't think low pads would cause that but I'll check them.

Space shuttles exploding and such

So you're saying nobody should prepare for this eventuality by replacing their old part, and making a failsafe backup design like I did with the zip tie, or what?

Probably not only a w124 flaw

Turns out this part was part of a recall back in 1991 and ended in 1993. My car did have the part replaced, but that part somehow broke on this recent trip.

Probably applies to W126's and lots of...

Your motorcycle

You're obviously talking about BMW, I assume.

Definitely contact them to alert them if you haven't already. Losing a brake light is taboo.

SRS light and ABS anti-lock brakes lights flickered on/off

W124 300d 253k miles.

While driving on the highway (ie not a bumpy road) at 65 mph or so, the ABS anti-lock brake system light flickered off and on a few times over the course of 30 miles. This...

Probably the fuel sender

You have to take the quasi carpeting thing off the rear of the trunk to get to the fuel sender, which is a very big nut. Take that out and the fuel sender will likely have rust and sludge on it. Use...

No. This is an emergency repair.

Negatory, Diesel911. This IS an emergency repair. And let's NOT wait around to see if the owner does it by his own responsibility. The people who could get killed from him not taking responsibity,...

Just a guess........

1) Check the fuses. Change them all out to the new copper ones. The old metal pitted ones might LOOK fine, but they're sometimes NOT fine.

2) Maybe the dash instruments are not grounded or the...

MAJOR WARNING TO EVERYONE!

This applies to W124 and just guessing W126 and many other models too.

Like most people, I don't come here that often, only when I have a problem of course.

I had a problem with my car...

Switches are not the problem

I took only the affected window switch out, replaced it with a known working one, but the window still won't work.

Electrical wizard needed: Left rear window won't go up or down

The problem is not the window regulator. All that is fine.

My mechanic took out the comfort module, the thing underneath the rear seat, and if he plays with that, he can get the window to go up or...

Any repair for a Comfort Control Module?

I'm assuming.....

I'm assuming there's a problem with your interior window regulator. To fix this, you have to take the door panel off. YouTube how to do it and read some articles.

Once that's off, take a look to...

Once I pull the door cover, what then?

What would need to be repaired for the rear driver's side window? Unless of course both switches are bad. It is possible the fuse LOOKS good, but is really bad. That happened eons ago when I first...

How can I fix these small problems?

1991 300d, 255k

1) The left rear window doesn't go down, either with the driver's console switch or the door's own switch. If the driver's console switch is bad, would that make it so the door's...

But grease might attract dirt

WD40 is most people's go to lubricant for locks, but it's notoriously bad for locks. I'm assuming grease would allow dirt to accumlate. I picked up a spray lubricant of some type at Walmart and the...

Do you think that.....

Do you think that if the one door is binding, that it could be making it hard for the other door too? It's weird that the trunk lock is ok.

I think Paul Roberts came up with the correct answer

Paul Roberts private messaged me saying that it was probably the wiper reservoir heater. The heater uses anti-freeze to heat the wiper fluid so it doesn't freeze. Over the years, the heater that's in...

I'm starting to think it's water that hits the monowiper grease

I'm starting to wonder if it could be a bit of grease coming off of the monowiper mechanism. I lube it typically every year. I guess it's quite possible that when the blade extends during a rain,...

Could it be the belt that is stretching too much when hot, and not tight enough to turn the compressor?
