I find it weird that you can only close the trunk with the button on the lid itself or the keyfob. I checked the manual and it does not...

    Help! Door won’t unlock

    Mickeytee is a smart man with good advise. If the keyfob won't unlock or lock the door I would have the technician try swapping the door pads first to see if that fixes the issue. Process of elimination..... then go with the lock actuator if those test's fail.

    So Long. It Was A Great Ride

    Wow!!! Sorry to hear all that happened. Being a former auto body technician I find it hard to believe they would have had to do a body off to retrieve a bolt that fell in the fender well, pull the fender off to retrieve it maybe and also that's what telescopic magnets are for. Perhaps someone at...

    Check the Bose amp fuse, there are 2 ... one of them in the fuse block on the floorboard next to the amp and the other which I believe is a 30 amp fuse is under the hood in the fuse block next to the battery. I went with an aftermarket because I fried the factory cd changer in an attempt to...

    Yes, that is it. I was able to repair the lower mount tabs but that is the path I will go if the repair fails. Thank you for that. Now the only thing left is the mirror, I will get to that when time permits. Have a Great Day.

    vanity mirror lid , were to buy or part number

    You Rexter must be a patient man, a perfect trait for tedious repairs like that. It looks as though I might be attempting the same as one of the mirror lid hinges broke on the passenger side. Uhhhggg. Trivial but tedious. How did your repair hold up?
