• radio/obc pixels ... or lack of pixels. Can't read anything on the display. Apparently a very common issue. This ribbon cable supposedly fixes this?

• need an aux input for the stereo ... I can't stand listening to the radio
  Just ordered Aux connector cable from amazon for $10. DIY Job
  
• Front wiper washer pump doesn't come on. Fuses look fine so maybe the pump is just dead?
  Water pump dead. they go rusted after a while. U can get new pump for $9 from ebay. I ordered and very easy to replace. max 30 mins.
  
• Front lights are heavily hazed/cloudy.
  DIY with 2000, 2500 grit paper wet sanding then power drill with plasticx and plastic shine. You can use the 3M product with a power drill. Both worked best.
