GavinSCA Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hi guys, hoping i can get some help. I have a 350z in my workshop and after updating the car audio i found the auto mirror fold on lock had stopped working. i had to disconnect the two wires that went to the microswitch on the door lock when i took the door panel off. After putting it all back together it doesnt work (but mirrors do fold using the door switch still). Ive checked the microswitch is still in position and is activated when the car is locked (there is continuity through the switch when door is unlocked but not when locked). Ive checked continuity in the wires that are spliced into the two plugs in the door and all are fine, and replaced a fuse on the module itself that was blown hoping it was just that. Is there anyone on the forum that knows about these modules or has a link to working guides on the various ones that have been available over the years? I think this is a pretty old one. I'm at a loss as to what it could be unless the module has randomly stopped working by coincidence. Thanks in advance. Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne370Z Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Was it auto folding before? The 350 mirrors don`t normally auto fold on locking. Only manually with the button. - unless fitted with an after market device to do so. Edited October 4, 2018 by Wayne370Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinSCA Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 That's right Wayne, it has an aftermarket module which has stopped working for no apparent reason. Trying to find out which one it is so that i can perhaps find a wiring schematic for it or perhaps spare parts. Thanks for your reply.

Wayne370Z Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Sorry can`t help then. Flyboy was the member doing the auto fold modules on here. Edited October 4, 2018 by Wayne370Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack94 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 If it's the module created by Flyboy here's the thread which has a bit more info about it- @cs2000 has taken over from Flyboy doing these now though so if you've got any questions he's probably the best guy to ask.

GavinSCA Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 From what i can tell this module is an old one. The car is a DE so wires i have are as follows: M=module ,FD=from door, SP=small plug , BP= big plug, White BP - White M (12v) Black SP - Black M (ground) Orange and Blue M - microswitch on latch Light green SP - Pink M Grey FD - Yellow M Grey SP - Grey M Purple FD - Green M Purple SP - Purple M Looks like other modules use the wire behind the speaker from the BCM as the trigger but this system doesnt. If i cant find what i need then i'll have to upgrade to the newest version i guess. Cheers everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryptek49 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Have you unscrewed the speaker in the door and checked the BCM cable? You may not be able to tell if the wire has been tapped into by just removing the door panel. I don't know how else you can get the door lock signal without tapping into that wire.

GavinSCA Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 The oem speaker isn't there anymore as I built door pods to angle the speakers up a bit as part of a huge audio install. I can check behind there but I'm pretty sure I've followed every wire from the module to where they either join to the plug wires or connect to the wires in the same loom that doesn't look messed with. And as I understand it the newer modules use the bcm wire as the trigger for the module to work, negating the need for the microswitch on this version.

cs2000 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Sounds like it’s a cookbot module, his used micro switches, sorry but I’ve got no idea how they used to work and cookbot no longer frequents these parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
