it's falling apart.
Engine squeaks... new belts, and neither idler pully is squeaking
Remote keeps losing "lock" even with new battery
Driver's door won't unlock with the remote
Passenger side window won't go down... relay clicks but won't move
And now it sounds like the bearings in my a/c blower are failing, I hope it lasts at least two more weeks, gotta drive 2500 miles to Washington
Remote keeps losing "lock" even with new battery
Driver's door won't unlock with the remote
Passenger side window won't go down... relay clicks but won't move

I had the same problem. Took it to the dealer. They said there was some sort of ground in the wiring. The tech had the door panel off and all up in the dash. They said it was a common problem but not bad enough to do a recall. They fixed it and it works fine now. Hope you have good luck with yours.

Turn on the engine and just let it idle in neutral. Hold down the switch for the window to go down, and hit the door panel hard with your fist just to the right of the speaker mesh. Remember to use your passenger window every once in a while. I'd recommend a window valet, can pick one up used on the forum inexpensively. I lower both windows to get out of the car and let the valet raise them when locking the doors and lower them again when unlocking. Makes getting in and out of the car easier and ensures your windows won't get stuck from non-use.
