I "borrowed" the vacuum pump from checker auto. The hose to the IWE is right on top of the hub, just pull it off, hook some tube to the IWE, draw out the air and watch the gauge ( I think you pump it to about 6 psi) to see if it bleeds off, check both sides. If the "diesel" sounding side holds...
Get a vacuum PUMP with a gauge not just a gauge. Pull the hose/tube off the top of the IWE and pump out (create a vacuum) which will pull the IWE closed. Then if the vacuum bleeds off, you know you have a bad IWE(s)
Let me back track for a moment, this happened a few months back. I did get a new module (they only come hooded now) and it did not solve my problem. I rented a vacuum pump from Checker auto and tested my IWE (real simple test) and found it was my RF integrated wheel end was leaking vacuum and...
OK I learned that it is caused by the IWE (integrated wheel end) solenoid there is a TSB out on it: 06-8-15 the part number is 6LZ9E441A they cost around $30 hope this helps!
Cool, I will take it apart this weekend. My Bro is an EE as well, so I will have him look at the board to see what fixes/ideas he comes up with. I will keep you posted. Thank you again for the help.
Thank you for the videos! Do you have a write up on it as well? The step where you take the actual button/switch off, you say you just yank on them? So they pop off fairly easy? I afraid of breaking them. Also on the LED video, I see you have the same intermittent lighting problem I have, what...
Instructions would be great! the top (button) part seems to be grabbing something behind the switches? Bottom comes off easy. Maybe just a pic of the inside of the top if any, otherwise instructions would be cool, do you need my email address? Thanks for the reply!
Hello, anyone ever take apart the power window module? The back lights on mine work intermittently, so I'm guessing bad ground? I took the drivers module out, but could only get the bottom half off. Anyone know the trick to getting the top half off, any pics?
Thanks!
