Car had a blown park pilot speaker just after I bought it. Which was repaired with a similar item soldered on to the original piece of loom.
Rear blind was later retro fitted, this failed soon after, constant clicking gears and no movement from the blind retracting. Can't remember if that then failed and another was fitted. Maybe TB can remember, as we fixed one at his place.
Now the park pilot speaker failed again, now replaced with a genuine item off another car here.
Coincidence? Or is there something connected?
-
Hmm :-\ will sit down with the wiring diags tomorrow, time permitting :y
-
My rear blind is failing - clicking and won't rise or fall without pulling. I am assuming it is a mechanical failure, I suppose it could be triggered by a voltage surge but I suspect just gear wear and tear.

Conincidence Mr Gayboy.
Both blinds and PP speakers are known to be a bit shit.
-
Modified tweeter is the way to go for PP system
-
certainly the blind system is a bit poor and prone to failure
..... and surely learning to park would be a cure for the park-pilot speaker

:( it went out with a nice squeak/warble warning though. :y but not to worry, I had a spare here. :)
I've stuffed the new speaker in by the rear blind plug, save pulling that corner of the head lining down....again.... ready for the next time it fails.
Doesn't matter how useless it is, its all got to work. All of it. :)

Can't comment on the park speaker but I've had a couple of success stories repairing rear blinds. Mind you it's not for the faint hearted. When the spring goes off it will chop the end of ya finger off it you got it in the way. Thing is I've not actually ever found anything wrong. All I do is open em up. strip down, clear em up and bung em back together again. Motors seems pretty bullet proof it's the gearboxes which give the grief. For some reason I've had better results using copper slip on the gears when I've rebuilt it than grease. Oh and if you go to the bottom of my garden and hunt around your find the motor/gearbox unit from one I launched after stripping it out and refitting it several times just to find as soon as I got it back together the ruddy thing jammed up again. Really is a pants design.

I use proper grease in gearbox. Motors occasionally fail, as do controllers
