Uhh. Yep. That title about sums up the part of what I'm looking for.
Kind of difficult to search the forum if you're not quite sure what to search for.
Okay, so the manual key entry on driver side door has a little plastic holder that the unlock bar hooks to. Before I got the car, the driver side door lock never worked. Always had to walk around the passenger side door to unlock it. The plastic piece was brittle and broke off of the metal piece when I tried to put the bar back on.
The little white plastic piece in the pics is the piece I mention in the description. It looks like it comes as all one piece, the plastic built onto the metal piece.
Any help would be highly appreciated for locating a replacement part for this.
While we're at it, let's take this one step further.
Part 2: It sometimes gets very dark where I park my car, I really would love some light up handles to easier locate the key hole. I seen some aftermarket handles that would do the job great but they were like $100 to $200. I know quite a bit about electronics and such but don't know too much about the wiring loads the car can take.
I'd preferrably like to try to add some blue LED's to the handles myself but not quite sure where I'd wire them into. Everything on the car is pretty much manual (like mirrors, windows, etc). The wires that run the cigerette lighter plugins are completely burnt out and need re-run. Where else could I wire the LED's to? I also note, that I would have to use some sort of waterproof LED holder or some sort of sealing agent. Anybody have any luck with that?
Here are the pics for the part I need.
Again, the forum flipped my pics. Sorry!
