ok i need some help here guys.Its really starting to get me down .
the central locking module.(triangle thingy) exactly how does it go back on.
i know it goes around the speaker bit.but how.
a picy would be good as i'm a div when it comes to mechanics.

to be honest i would never have taken the job on of bringing my sport back to life if it wasn't for the people that said " NO its easy" and "by the time we're finished you'll never be able to tell"
well as you can guess the helpful people are not helpful. or at least never free to be helpful and i'm now lumbered with a 325 sport that i can't use it's just sat in the garage in need of being put back together.
i have a list of things that need putting back on but for now this is what is really pisssssssing me off.
help

Goes inside he cill, directly below the speaker. Held in place by two self tappers from inside the car.

ok dude , calmdown!

black box, contacts facing down. find 2 hohes on back and a small peg in the middleish.

locate the peg in the hole on the triangle plate. the box should fit snug and holes line up perfect, if not then its not on right.

find the wires that connect to the box. plug it up.

on the body pannel that the bracket screws on to, locate the upper hole with a screw, then fumble the bracket over the screw and bolt it on, the lower screw in the same way.

jobs a goodun

metal plate pointed end down, Black box - plug at bottom.

Post Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:24 am

ok so is it better to fit the metal bracket first then fit the module?

Post Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:26 am

dude , u would never get it on the bracket otherwise

Post Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:27 am

sorry , just read yours again.. if u dont put the box on the bracket first then u will never get the screws in from behind if its still bolted to the panel

Post Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:29 am

ahhhhhhh. i've been trying to fit it as one thing.( module and bracket all at once)
is this where i was going wrong?

Post Tue Jul 12, 2005 12:32 am

doh!!!! ok will just have to try again. really loosing patience with it now though. cheers any way .

You're confusing him johnono!
The black box must be fitted to the triangular plate and the plug pushed in before you fit the whole lot together. Should go in easily enough.
Theres a black plastic bit that clips in place under the speaker that has to be removed first.

i've tried to fit it with the module already on the bracket and it doesn't seem to want to fit in the hole. like i said guess i'll just keep trying.
it a shame but i'm starting to regret the day i ever bought an e30, even though it was the best car i ever had.
