The Unofficial "Ask a Stupid Question" Thread

[Zep5.0]

A couple stupid questions: key doesn't turn on the door, and the unlock switchh only makes the actuator make noise. I think the latch is stuck. Anyone what ever had that on a car that's sat around a lot? Any ideas how to best break it free?

The other side the key turns too easy, but the switch does not work. I'm thinking it's the lock rod clip. Thoughts?

I have seen them rust solid. Spraying them out wiyh wd40, and 5 years will do.

A strip of white LED ribbon with leads soldered to one bulb socket. You definitely won't be having brightness problems anymore.

If not for that, you all know I'm picky about color temperature, so I'd say VLEDS for any other interior bulbs.

What ribbon did you use?

As for the rest I went back to regular 194s. I hear your argument for color temperature but warmth > brightness for me.

Sounds pretty similar to what I had, and this was the borken piece in my case: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234043006226
