Thanks, Don. Ever since I've been wanting to get at this the weather has been somewhat hostile and I have to work in the driveway! But it's good to know there is shared experience out there...
When I get into the drivers door I also need to try and identify why my interior couresy light does'nt come on when the door is opened-it works when the passenger door is opened. I'm open for advice as to what to look for - I'm guessing a broken wire.
