Replaced my water pump, changed out an idler pulley, replaced one of my broken PDC sensor mounts on the rear bumper and finally matched the tint on the front two windows :thumbup:

Actually yesterday..... but....oil change....brake fluid change....and found out I need my oil filter housing gasket replaced....slow leak....which explains the quart I added a month ago and the oil burn smell when popping the hood.

removed, drivers door card to find out why it sounded like something was loose when I closed the door , couldn't find anything, end up now where my drivers door doesn't turn the interior light on , other ones do ,
thing is , when I open any doors with the engine running it doesn't say "door open" any more

that switch is part of the door latch
it might have come off? hence the noise and now the lack of idiot light

look real hard at both the screw/clip that holds the bottom of the glass to the regulator and also the SLIDER that goes up and down the track. the screw/clip has a expanding nut kind of a thing and parts always brake off leaving the thing loose.

its does actually make more noise when the window is down , like the window bit is loose ,
but if that switch is disconnected would it take out all the other doors?

I discovered that my driver's side rear lower shock bolt is missing. WTF? :(

I rolled down the rear window and it made a loud pop. Luckily it rolled back up. I'm not touching it. Ordered a new reg right away! I just replaced the clip last year.
