Sure, unfortunately it does seem to be computer issue or at minimum a ground issue somewhere in the system. The switch checks out under test as does the harness conductivity in the door. I suspect an issue upstream in the drivers door since all signal wiring goes through there. Could be switch contacts there, that is my next stop.
Maddening, I'm half way to cutting a hole and installing a hand crank.

I don't know if that still holds for a car that new - do they computer control everything? But it's the very first place I would ever look.

You could cut out part of an automotive wiring harness at a junkyard and probably get at least 40 colors :-) My van is 2010 (just out of warranty, yay) so I’m sure anything new-ish with power doors/windows/mirrors etc, is going to be loaded with wires. -Andy On Jan 25, 2015, at 10:46 AM, Ward Cunningham <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: My mind flashes back to my youth. I remember my father driving my older brother up to Chicago to pick up supplies at Allied Electronics, the premiere industrial sales outfit at the time. I tagged along. What I most remember is how unusually long it took to fill the order because my brother had tacked on one foot of 54-conductor cable. Strange that I remember the exact number of conductors. It was a large part of the conversation on the hour long drive back home. I notice ebay has some of this very cable available. 500 feet, ten dollars a foot. http://www.ebay.com/itm/500ft-Belden-8773-CABLE-27-Pairs-54-conductor-22AWG-POLYPROPYLENE-AUDIO-computer-/131136514919 On Jan 25, 2015, at 10:07 AM, Mykle Hansen <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all, My midi foot pedal project has morphed a bit, and now I'm trying to hook up all the front panel controls of my old dead Marantz amplifier to a Teensy++, to turn it into a general-purpose MIDI control surface including a footswitch jack. It may be the largest Teensy enclosure ever built! I've been holding off on the wiring stuff because I thought it'd be nice to use color-coded wiring for all the connections. But I've been stumped as to where I can find, say, 40 different wire colorations in a length of 2 feet or so. I figured I could just chop off a length of some old telco trunk or parallel data cable, but I haven't been able to scrounge one yet. What do you all do for color-coded wiring in complex builds? I can usually scavenge up to ten solid colors out of whatever old dead bits of electronics are lying around, but for more colors than that I need the multi-color coded stuff (red with white stripe, etc) and I don't have a good source for that. (I did get the 8 color/patterns that come in Cat5, plus the solid colors I have … still not quite enough.) -m- _______________________________________________ dorkbotpdx-blabber mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/dorkbotpdx-blabber _______________________________________________ dorkbotpdx-blabber mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/dorkbotpdx-blabber -- Andrew M.C.
