The problem was that the keyless entry did not work. The interior lights also did not work. The auto door locks would only work with the key in the "On" position. I purchased a Secure entry control unit (Keyless entry module) from Ebay for $20 on a whim and installed it. This part is normally $$$ if purchased new. The module was located under the steering wheel column. and once replaced everything worked again. |

The blower motor was making horrible noises. It was replaced with a new one purchased online. The replacement was easy. Remove about 9 screws for the glove box. Take out the kick/trim panel along the right side. The blower was held in by 3 bolts and one electrical connection. The new blower works perfectly Dashboard lights were burnt out. The tachometer was no longer lit up at night. Purchased LED bulbs online. The dash was removed by taking out two bolts and removing the steering column cover that was another 3 screws. There were multiple electrical connectors to disconnect. The bulbs come out in their sockets. Two of the 3 sockets ended up breaking partly but were still usable. The LEDs worked but do not provide uniform lighting. There are two "bright spots" one in the speedo at about 10 o'clock and one in the tach at about 2 o'clock. |
