99 z3 2.8l roadster

[Sijray21]

Small update:

- Installed some new kick panel speakers.
- Got an emissions inspection for registration (failed with p1421 and P1423 codes). I'll need to find out the issue with the secondary air pump. I'm guessing it's a failed check valve which allowed condensation into the pump, but I'll breakdown the hoses and see if it's just a leak somewhere).
- reinstalled the passenger seat and buttoned up the interior.
- discovered a small leak (like miniscule) in the coolant reservoir tank....


The passenger seat motor wasn't working and I feared that the expensive motor ($370ish) was fried. Loose wiring due to water corrosion was resolved by a new pigtail harness and it happened to be the seat control wiring. I had an initial moment of defeat when I plugged everything back up, hit the switch on the seat.... and nothing... Then I remembered that I disconnected the battery. Reconnected the battery and hit it again to it moving; success! #smallvictories


I don't have much time right now since I'm on kid duty all weekend with my wife working, but these nap time sessions are helpful. I'll break down the SAP tonight.

Next up:
- diagnose SAP issue, clear CEL, and get it reinspected
- install subs when they come in
- run the Carly to diagnose the srs, acs, and abs lights
- replace the coolant tank reservoir (maybe they have a better quality aftermarket one?
