Jeez, so while I over paid abit on up front value, I'm actually making out like a bandit on repairs... Thanks!

But as a question, since you said the cigarette lighter never worked, I'll assume that it isnt as simple as a busted fuse. Would it just be better/easier to pick up a lighter from Pep Boys and wire it myself? And would it be best to just splice off of the line from the existing, or make a whole new 12v rout?

Sorry, I'm bombarding you with questions lol.

Ived been looking at that site, I saw the Viggen badge and started drooling..lol. But I'll probably get the front bumper they have there as I wanted it to look a bit more aggressive anyway. As for the steering wheel, I'm going to wait until I finish all the console work before replacing, to minimize risk of scratching the new wheel while working on the other things.

I never bothered to try and fix the lighter, so I actually don't know. I'd try and fix the existing one, the socket might need to be replaced since I think it doesn't work due to the PO smoking so much...

so It still could be the lighter... the guy who sold it to me never checked either. but we'll see, I need to get that fixed ASAP, my phone doubles as my GPS unit and without a car charger I'm sunk.

there's basically two wires going to the back of it:-D Check to see if there's 12V on them. If you want, I could help you if you were to drive to philly.

Im thinking of sunday. im volunteering early in the morning, from 930 to about 1230-1pm. If that can work for you, then maybe we can work something out?

Also, a quick question: I'm on partsgeek.com looking at rear window actuators. Just to make sure, the rear passenger side door is rear/right? Just want to make sure I'm not buying the regulator for the wrong side of the car. I'm trying to find second hand part to use, but its looking like I may be stuck spending $2xx on this particular part.

Great site... I've found a few different options for under 150.. one as low as fifty, lol also in philly. also a couple for 75-100.

Today I'm going to try and get my cigarette lighter working, but if not I'm running the wire for the second outlet... I gps'd my way to a friends house in manasquan and my phone was under 30 percent by the time I got there. Last night, to hold me over while I decide on which speakers to get, I ebay'ed a pair of rear speakers for 40 bucks.. the originals are blown out. Guess I'll also try to fix the SID.
