Over the weekend, I was busy with my Porsche and Audi. Porsche came back from the paint shop for a hood and front bumper repaint. Of course, you know how body shops are with electrics. They broke one of the connectors for my front parking lights. The check parking light, light was one when I got the car back 6 weeks ago, but I let it sit so I don't mess up the paint while it was fresh. Pulled the front parking/turn/fog assembly out and found the broken connector. Rather hard to find that one, so installed a new pin for the female side and connected it. Voila, it works again! Now, just waiting for the connector to arrive wo I can do it right.

The Audi has had a sunroof stuck in the full tilt position for a few weeks. Looked at it the other weekend and was prepping to pull the sunroof out. Decided to try to close it manually. It worked a little, so I tried the motor itself. Motor works, but I hear a sound like the gears are slipping. Ordered a replacement motor and installed it over the weekend. The original one was fine. The problem was the gear shaft got a little loose and the gear was sitting too high. Looked at it and the shaft snapped back in place. However, I didn't want to have to deal with it again, so I stuck the replacement part in. Keeping the original as a backup.
