Hey Cory, that is a nice door but I have seen decent doors in the under $200 range. Of course, it was when I wasn't looking for them.

Well got the steering wheel control in and programmed it and you got it. Doesn't work. Called tech support and he had no answer. So now tomorrow I have to call the manufacturer to see if the wiring diagram is wrong or if the unit is bad. Gonna get a solder iron tomorrow and fix the heated seat......

That figures Tom. Hopefully it works out to be a wrong diagram. My buddy used to install car audio so if you can't get it I can check with him.

Good Morning / Night (or whatever it is) everyone!!

Long day at work. Came home played with the kids outside for awhile, bathed them, then went back out to work on vehicles. Got the oil changed in the Saturn and put some fix-in-a-can in. We'll see how that works out. The van has been running really rough and idling weird. Cleaned the throttle body and seafoamed the injectors. It helped alot. It's still not perfect, but much better than it was. I've got a question about it that I'll post later. Strange ticking noise from the underside of the engine.

As if it wasn't along enough day already, we had to do some emergency patching tonight.

I'm headed to bed. I need to be up at 6 to do some more work. Yippee!!!

'Night / morning all!
