  1. Ah I figured out it's the door ajar switch, I will have to figure out where it went exactly.
  2. In addition to part of the hall effect sensor being broken off, I found another broken part in the door with two wires connected through the door wiring harness that I don't know what it is. (last pic) There are also other bits that not I'm entirely sure which are part of the hall sensor, or something else. Pictures attached.
  3. Yeah I reached out to his gmail a couple days ago, just waiting to hear back.
  4. Hello, first let me know if I have posted this in the wrong section, I didn't see a dedicated buy/sell area anymore for the Reatta. My driver side exterior door handle broke last night. Very frustrating and need to fix it ASAP as it's my current daily driver while I'm in CA where I store it. I gather the painted part comes with them and is not removable/transferrable? I have an S13 color code Reatta, though I had it restored/repainted in 2012, so matching will be tough for that. The car is beautiful and I'm trying to always keep it tip top. I need work on the hinges/door alignments too, I think this added stress is probably contributed to the handle breaking. Anyway, let me know if anyone has anything very nice or NOS for sale for these, the car is otherwise beautiful and I keep trying to make it nicer over time. Thank you, - Fox
  5. With a new servo the problem is fixed. Thanks all.
  6. No ECM codes, it's BCM: B671 ; current and persistent. I guess that is the servo position error.. bad coil ? I wonder if I should just replace or attempt repair.

    Confused

    I don't understand it either, though yeah phones are a poor way to do research imo, so it probably encourages laziness. I hope folk like you are always around.. The FSM is invaluable, once I had one I really understood and I could help myself to a far greater understanding and granular level. What newcomers expect is the Reddit and such way of things, a distillation of information by quorum.. Like a shortcut to probability.. which I get, I am guilty of it too at times, and it kind of works with the Reatta because the car is old enough that we do tend to often be aware of what tends to fail and be the answer, but certainly there are still tons of one-offs and guessing is hard.. In the least they should google acronyms and words they don't understand instead of spending more time than it takes for that to reply back asking you, heh.
  8. Thanks I'll get the code, sorry about that. I did try unplugging and plugging back in the cruise assembly under the hood as well as checking connectors. Also I should have mentioned this happens before the car is even running, error is even just while ON (not start)
  9. Hi all, Sorry if this overlaps with any previous threads. Recently my car started throwing cruise errors. I fear it could be electrical as I couldn't find anything wrong with the module/linkage/vacuum hoses. It started by constantly flipping between error state and OK over and over, nagging very often on the CRT. Then eventually it just became consistently in error state. I found an old thread saying there can be a wire in the steering column that can get its insulation rubbed off and short to ground. Is that common?
  10. Great idea. Yeah I already have the 'Klein IR5 Dual Laser 12:1 ' one ; Thank you.
  11. Thank you all, yeah I wish I had a meter so I could just test myself and adjust what I can. I do not know what the engine temp was the day I tested, however I do know it was extremely hot out and I had the A/C on, so I'm sure after some idling at the test station it was hitting the 213f peak where even the aux fan comes on. Perhaps just re-testing during the cooler season would pass me. I did replace the water pump myself and intake manifold gasket and such, hopefully I didn't end up causing a coolant leak.
  12. Hey guys, Wondering what from experience with these engines is my best bets other than the cat for these results attached.: The HC and CO levels are fine, but I failed by a bit for NO ; I've read that high temps can cause this. I keep everything on this car tip top as I can, I am not aware or seeing any cooling issues, or problems with the EGR. I am using the Bosch gen3 injectors, that's the only more unusual variable I have going on. Any ideas of things I could try? What data/outputs from the CRT could I view to get some bearing on this? Wish I had an NO meter so I could just test. The O2 sensor is quite new and OEM, the fuel pressure regulator is quite new ; MAF cleaned recently. My converter only has about 35k miles on it, it's a direct-fit replacement from Magnaflow. I realize factory ones are better. Thanks.
  13. Hey guys, yeah I've tried to repair this one several times. It isn't the variable resistor or anything like that, it's physically just broken and rigged together. Someone also had cut the original lines at the top and hacked things together. I'd like to just replace it all with a good unit.
  14. Does anyone by chance have a complete very good condition fuel sending unit for an 89? (Or NOS is even better) I haven't been able to find one anywhere. Thanks.
  15. Looking to either purchase a fully working tape deck, or see if anyone here can, or knows someone who can still fix these? I saw in history places that could, but not sure if they are still in business. (88-89) Let me know, thanks.
