Everything works in my car except the seat heaters, for both seats. But now that I've posted this, I know something will go south.

Hmmm. I think most everything works except for items I've disabled such as:
  • rear wiper delete
  • memory and mirror control inop due to addition of sport seats (need to custom wire in a control unit to restore functionality)
  • pulled the fuse to keep the front cooling flaps full open at all times (were working before that AFAIK)

Not sure about the headlight washers or intensive wiper system, never use them to know if they work or not. Oh, and the stock Blaupunkt Reno II works but the speakers are original and sound terrible. Otherwise, she's good to go!

On the best one here---

Hatch release (melted PS switch / fuse blown)
Alarm disconnected (hatch lock electrode problem)
HVAC diaphragms in dash
Hatch latch has a crack
Sunroof drive slipping
Washers (all)
AC needs orings/charge
Only 1 key
Intake paint
Pad warning wires not mounted to pads
Anchor mounts riding a little low
Rear wiper not engaging motor
Golfball sized dent in fr rt fender
Scratches on hood where horse tasted it with teeth.
Missing mid-hanger for muffler
Missing 14 pin cover
Eclipse radio won't play a CD (did the first day car came home, but never since)


All would be highlighted, or properly repaired, if ever offered for sale.
86 auto, Paid 2K at 73Kmi, now at 91Kmi. Added 4K parts & tires.
Is it worth $6? Don't know. Really don't GAS.

Everything works but the window switches are hard to activate because the tabs on the console broke.

Now what I want to replace/refresh is another list all together.

Driver's footwell light doesn't work because copper tab broken off (but new one from Roger on way hurrah!).

That's it, honest, so don't tell my wife who sees growing pile of replacement parts in garage. Bad case of 928itis

As of today,

Heated rear window (light on switch comes on but no affect on mist on window)
Front wipers don't self-park
Hatch release
Rear wiper mech doesn't engage with motor
Left half of instruments don't light up at night

But I do have everything else :

Cruise
Sunroof
All HVAC functions work properly now (fixed some leaks)

GT - All good except for outside temp display. It thinks it's really cold.
Murano - Rear hatch release
Saudi - headlight adjusters - I really want to get them working someday just for the hell of it. Oh yeah, the A/C too. A victim of the flood.

What doesn't work on my car?

This weekend it's me.

Frustrated with a PS leak that has grounded my car for more than two weeks now. Ugh!

I think you are right.
Us Southerners are just not made for this kind of weather.
My idea of a coat is a extra long sleeve shirt, I had to dig and find a real coat last week, sucks man.

Everything works except WOT switch and that will be done when I do a top end refresh (PO did it 10 years ago but I figure why not). No electrical gremlins, all switches and functions work.
Have a little "tink" sound from drive line when I start out that I haven't been able to track down for the last 20,000 miles.

Oh and my wife doesn't work on my car, does that count?

The central door locking system and the rear hatch release button doesn't work. The main thing is the A/C isn't working! I better get on it soon because Austin gets HOT!
