T350 door opener mechanism (actuator arm position)

[Granturadriver]

The drivers door had recently problems to know if it is open or closed and therefore the window forgets to go up or down. Of course, this is not good if you want to open or close the door even though the window is all the way up. However, the window regulator itself continued to work normally.

I first opened the door thinking their might be something wrong. However, everything looked fine and I additionally learned the there is no window encoder in the door (like in Tuscans Mk I the encoder ME0424 or in Mk II encoder ME674).



I than opened the door hatch mechanism. The upper and lower bolds fix it to the body, the two inner bolds fix the machanism to the top plate.

.

After I loosened all the screws, of course everything fell apart, especially the actuator arm (ME0481) fell out.

But you can see on the microswitch where the actuator arm is suspended. The arm then protrudes into the mechanism, so it is pushed when the mechanism closes. When the actuator is pressed, the microswitch is actuated.



I am now wondering what is the correct angle or bend of the Actuator Arm. Should it be completely straight or slightly bent like mine?

Dunno, but interested in
1) what you find out
2) what size the screws are on the mounting; mine are all rounded off- drilling out and replacing with new is on my "to do" list

good luck- of course

(Tamora/T350/Sagaris). The encoder is the wired unit held onto the side of the motor (there are two versions, but both worked on my Tamora) the arm is straight (the hole in the alloy is there for you to hold it closed during assembly) and as these are not magnetic fill the shell cavity so as not to lose it (I lost one), I used a towel.
There is a magnetic ring on the armature shaft that the encoder senses.
I have changed all the door locks, micro switches, alloy plate on my drivers side (as the 2mm screws had failed) with lots of pictures on my FB page. A@

Thanks, Adrian.

So, the yellow thing is the encoder than?


Is that one of the two encoders mentioned for the Tuscan?

It seems if you buy the window motor that the encoder is already integrated, see here:

All bolds need a 4mm nut.

The outer bolds are 20 mm long (total length). The inner are ca. twice the length.

Adrian, as I am not on facebook, could you help with some pictures of the arm mechanism situation?

[Adrian@]

I have broken the component down gearbox/transmission/armature/brushes/encoder parts that you can buy into/source , but posting it here will only get it misunderstood in years to come. Also I have all the bits that I dismantled around me or what was on my car (as mine is fully refurbished now). A@

Some amendments to this topic:

The longer bolts are 40mm long.

Here is a pic of the microswitch with the actuator arm fitted:

The angel is fine, it works.

Here is a picture of the mechanism‘s back. Here you can see the opening through which the latch protrudes when closed, actuating the actuator.
