More audio, Power window check, interior light and seat belt adjuster

 It has been a while. On the few drives I made lately I noticed the right front speak developed a nasty rattle. It sounds like the cone might have been torn somehow. Luckily I did obtain a pair of front speakers so a nice opportunity to have this fixed. And furthermore this will give me the possibility to have the power window motor checked as that's still failing. 

At the time I suspected the right door was untouched but I guess was wrong (and naive). This side had been opened up before as well. Luckily it was not a big mess:

And apparently they had been messing around on this speaker as well. Using again some of glue/kit. And also the speaker wiring had been modified. I have no idea what they have been up to

So I had the speaker replaced using the original plug and cabling. And now it sounds even better. Very happy with this improvement. 

On to the next job, the power window. With the door panel off this was now "accessible". So first I did a visual mechanical inspection. All looked good as far as I could see. I tried to move/push the mechanics and the wheel but nothing happened. When trying to push the button you can hear the "motor" click. So I used a soft hammer and hit the motor slightly hoping this would do some magic, ie losing up a stuck spring/solenoid. But  nothing happened. I think I have no other option then to removed it entirely which is likely a challenging and fiddly job for which I had no time left yesterday afternoon. 

When putting everything back together the courtesy light bulb at the bottom of the door panel dropped off. So when fixing this and putting the bulb back in it lighted up straight away (I actually don't recall if if it was working beforehand. I also noticed the interior light at the passenger side (feet) worked. But more importantly the interior light in the ceiling worked and that was not the case before. So I was very pleased to see all of this is working now. When checking again by closing/opening the door it failed, none of them are working anymore. Sigh! I suspect the door locking mechanism is the cause for it as it has a small micro switch that is controlling this - maybe I temporarily fixed it when doing my physical checks and hammering, not sure. 

I did happen to have been working on the interior lights for the passengers in the back as these werer partly working. One side is now fully working and the other one isn't working at all anymore. Very strange as I can't figure it out. More troubleshooting to do. 

Whilst I was on the back seat I noticed the seat belt adjuster looked strange and out of place. When checking it wasn't functioning, meaning it would not stay fixed in place. When I gave it a hit it was pushed back in and fixed the issue. Again, not sure what happened there.

Oh well, so for today only 2 small items fixed: 1 speaker and 1 seat belt adjuster. Still a lot to do on the interior lights ...
