Thank you. Saving this because at the moment I have no idea what it means. But will get it done after getting a laptop. I have software packages to try to install already. We'll see how it goes.

I have cables to try but is there one you recommend for the E53 that has the correct pins jumped and ready to go for the bus'?

Any K-bus /D-CAN cable should work as long as pins 7 and 8 are bridged together.

I purchased another window regulator from Pelican today -- went with URO since I was happy with the quality of the one I tried last time.


You know when you order something from Pelican they send you an email for so many dollars off your next order, but the coupon expires within a few weeks? Well, I tried an expired coupon on a whim, and it worked -- just thought I would pass that tip along for anyone else ordering from Pelican anytime soon.

I jumped on the bandwagon and bought 2 new diamond keys and with cutting and programming it was all in for $120 USD!![emoji3060]

I also went to pick up my new washer fluid tank & pump but they are apparently made from gold as they wanted $1,030 USD (not happening) so I am going to find a used one.[emoji2962]

Wow on the keys. Local guy?

Did you find a crack on your washer tank? I bought a damaged dish washer for $9 once because they stacked them too tall and broke the tub. I used some marine epoxy to seal the crack and it lasted years

Yeah a local shop that does nothing but keys that have electronic crap in them and then roughly 13 USD each to cut them.

The crack was from trying to pull the pump out of tank and it committed suicide.

Heat makes plastic brittle. Can you get shipping via AFP (forget the exact initial)?

APO is hit or miss lately but I will see about getting access to the diplo pouch (not holding my breath) but it's probably full of space available ham for Christmas already[emoji6]

Side note....

Over here transmission solenoids are NOT available individually and must be purchased with the whole valve block and is over a grand. [emoji2962]

You can likely repair the tank with a soldering iron. Test if it's thermo plastic or thermoset. If the former, you can melt the crack back together.

Another trixk that works is cut strips of a thermoplastic (I used to use Pringle lids before they made them the useless clear ones that don't seal). Light It on fire and it will drip hot enough liquid plastic it will meld Into other themoplastics.

I've used that trick many times to patch water pumps on washing machines that self destruct when a dime gets in there. The fix is water right and good as new.
