Seedy Al Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Alrighty then. Pretty sure I know the answer here, but the wipers on my 84 hilux do not self park anymore. I would assume the problem is going to be in the motor and not the switch? Cheers ladys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transom Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Contacts in the motor gearbox that make it run til it hits park position when the switch is off - think brass tracks with bent or sprung loaded bits contacting you knew it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Cool thanks. Its been a while and was thinking maybe technology had changed from the old bmc shit I was always repairing lol. Will add it to the list of things to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Vapour Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hello gents. I scored a mechpro jump pack. But it has no charger. It looks like I need a 15v 800ma charger. I don't have anything close. What do you think about just hooking my battery charger up to the clamps on the jump pack? My chargers a peak charger so no chance of over charging. What say you savage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Woo the LPG Corolla now has a working fuel gauge. I jerry rigged an arduino nano with a linear hall effect sensor (sensing the magnetic float gauge on the tank) and a mosfet to drive the gauge. It's mega whorey though as all my electrical tools are up in Auckland and I'm taking power from the rear defogger to power the nano. And all of the wires are just out of a stripped extension lead so have mains AC colouring. I gave it a rough calibration by just moving the sensor around to get approximate levels (2/3 full tank), then went and filled the car up and the gauge dropped straight to empty - the analogWrite value went over 255 and looped back to zero. A quick fix in the code to limit the output to 255 and it was away laughing. Now to drive the car until the tank is almost empty and confirm the calibration at the lower end / I'm not sure if the gauge response is even linear.

tortron Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Maybe I should do similar with my guage Hmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Total cost would be about $20. The hall effect sensor I used was the most expensive bit: https://www.jaycar.co.nz/ugn3503ua-hall-effect-sensor/p/ZD1902 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
