making some progress
Today I finished up the task of repairing exhaust leaks at my turbo. New up pipes, the port side was loose at the collector for the turbo, some previous grease monkey had not aligned the exhaust pipe or the collector to the turbo, and was blowing smoke in both locations. I watched a youtube video before I began this task, That guy said it took him about 3-1/2 hours. It took me about 3-1/2 days, I may be about 30 years too old for this crap! I fired it up and I have no smoke belching out from under the hood, so I'm happy about that, however I still have that damned door ajar alarm, even after I chopped the black with pink tracer under the column, so I;m still looking to silence that thing.
My 26 spline yoke stuff all came today from Torque King for my D50 front axle, so I will tackle that tomorrow.
I'm getting desperate to shut that annoying alarm up!

yeah, except for the fact that I took all 4 latches off and jumped across the connectors and the fkn alarm still beeps all day long.

well that was a lot of work to undo, can you trace it back, unplug the main harness and use a jumper there?
I am sure there are schematic for it, shouldn't be terrible hard, although maybe uncomfortable!
Upside down under the dash and all!

Yeah, I guess that will be the next step. I know my windshield is leaking (don't they all?), I have a windshield ordered through a local body shop. After he installs that and it is hopefully sealed up, I will be pulling that fuse block for inspection and clean up. I got several DTC codes with ForScan, most of them list the GEM as a suspect, so I will replace that while I am behind the dash. Hopefully that will eliminate some of these electrical gremlins.
