Two more checks; A NEW FEATURE!

Replaced the spark plug wires and aimed the 'new' headlight today. Test drove it tonight and readjusted it a hair down. We'll see if I get reactions from oncoming drivers, or if I did a good job.
There's condensation in the left headlight, so that needs to be replaced too.

Also while I was working on the car today I gave another try at fixing the dome light to turn on when the door was opened. I got it working, but it stopped once I screwed everything back in, so it stays on the list. It does mean it's a problem with the bulb fixture, and not the wiring or door sensors.
I was hot in the car so I decided to take advantage of the sun roof, and cranked it open. To my surprise, the back lifted up as a vent. I know many sunroofs do this, but I thought I had tried this with mine and it didn't. There seems to be a click between the two modes, and I think that's where it should be to be fully closed. It sucks not having a manual for it.

The hood latch still doesn't work, don't know which end the problem is at, maybe both. Found an easy way for me to get it open, my skate key. I just hook it over the cable (in front of the radiator) and pull. Works great, but not very portable. Gonna try a aluminum tent stake that I bent and see how it works.

Strut in later this week, so that's next.

Strut my stuff

Ordered a replacement rear hatch strut from Autozone for $25. Looking at the old one and hatch today, nothing is broken other than the ball stud that screws into the hatch. Hopefully the replacement will come with this ball stud. I'm also missing the two screws that attach it to the body. If the replacement doesn't come with these, I can pull one from the other side and use it as a model to buy two more from Ace.

Hopefully one replacement will work and I won't need to order the second.

turn signal fixed?

As mysteriously as the turn signal problem occurred, an unscrewing of the turn signal assembly causes it to start working again. Kept it blinking as I screwed it back on, and it's keeps working.
Don't know what I did to cause the problem, don't know how I fixed it.

Next: aim headlight and install plug wires. But not today: cool and wet.
