This part has been sorta hanging in one of the gaps on the driver's door, which has no inside panel. Does anyone know what it’s for? Door handle seems to work fine on either side so I’m not sure. The PO mentioned the door card was off because he was playing with the aftermarket remote locks. Could this be part of that mechanism(and thus disposeable)?
Looks like an extra rod to lock the door, Could be part of the PO's mess left over..There should be at least one rod running from the inside of the door to the lock mechanism near the rear of the inside of the door.If I remember correctly..?What does the PET say? any pictures match up??
Also I want to say, leaving near a Pelican Parts warehouse is awesome! I ordered brake pads and some sun visor clips and misclany yesterday, and they arrived today. Fantastic!
Looking at it again, this is clearly not an original unit. It's off-center, and it doesn't say blaupunkt. The feel is not very good on it either. I'll still try to get it working, since I have all these cassettes, but I'm still stumped on how to get it off, short of trying to pry the faceplate off of it.
The PCNA 944 cars were originally fitted with the Blaupunkt Monterey SQR unit for MY 1983 (aka "Köln for the Row cars). These were really nice radiocassettes with red memory switches, and some other nice features. I used mine so much it broke and I had it rebuilt. When it broke the second time around, the parts needed weren't available from Blaupunkt any longer. You can source used units in working condition occasionally on eBay.
I've been researching this radio subject for quite a while and it appears that the early 944's had four speakers (wired) and an antenna but did not come with a radio unless optioned at the factory or dealer installed. My 84' is a very low optioned car so, unless the selling dealer installed a unit (who knows?), it came with a plastic cubby in the single DIN space.
So today’s wrench session has the new fuel pump in and new brake pads all around but we just can’t get it to fire up on its own. It’s trying really hard but can’t seem to keep going. We know it has air and spark, and we know we have great pressure to the fuel rail, but we cannot confirm the fuel injectors. We tried adding fuel system treatment directly to the fuel rail then repressurizing the system, and that got it almost working, but it just won’t run. I’m thinking I just have to pull the injectors. I’ll try to put them through the ultrasonic cleaner first to see if I can fix it but most likely I’m going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new set. Ouch.

Pull the fuel rail and place cups under each injector (while still attached to the fuel rail) and have someone turn it over. You can view the injectors in real time.

Before you go buying new injectors, do you know whether the DME is working correctly? Have you tried bypassing the DME relay?
The DME itself controls the fuel injection and would be the first place to look with a car that's sat outdoors for so long. In the 83 it's located in the driver side footwell, to the left of the steering column.

Keep up the good work!
I mean, I'll order a replacement/spare just because it's a good thing to have, but I used a test light on the fuel pump terminals, and I can audibly hear it when the car is cranking. I thought that was what the faulty DME relay would stop happening.

This can rule out the DME relay, but not the DME itself. When they go bad, the car can run haphazardly or not run at all.
