I have the same issue. The actuator seems to be jammed. I tried pulling on the rope, and pushing the mechaniam to the left, but it wouldn't budge. I think the actuator has seized up. Going to strip it all out next time i have a chance and see if i can free it up. Thanks for this video, great to see it all moving and conforming my theory!!!! 😁😁😁
Dude thx, you are the man, I just replaced that center console in my 05 z4 and could not for the life of me figure out what that was for but now it makes perfect sense..I will sleep better tonight, thx
It doesn't eject anyone from the passenger seat? Darn it. 😅 I gotta fix the lower longer door to the secret compartment. A tiny tab hook broke off. Im wondering if maybe I can attach it back on. Like, plastic welding, maybe.
Buddy it was pain but i remove the airbag unit from the tunnel .. Thank you for all your advice! appriciate it.. I have to solder little bit ..because one of pins from connector is rotten and broke off. I hope it will work after cleaning and little of playing with it :) chips and resistors seems fine. BTW i didnt know about that white wire :) thats nice
A bit of a mission to open you need to open the opposite door pannel and see how to pull the door lock 🔐 with a piece of wire to open the lock , it is the connecting rod that came loose and fell out (let me know if you understand)
Thanks for the info ... my center console is stuck in close position. I don't even hear it unlock or unlock. I pull the white rope but it won't move or unlock it. I don't know what else I can do. thx - Dan
