List of issues

i No power window and no power mirror.I check all the fuses in front and back compartment and and all check ok.
Check connections, spray some electric cleaner and no luck.

i No back lights in ac control (dash) I supposed it will have some kind of light.. also the head light switch back light do not work, probably same circuit.

i Water leak thru the sos switch; when it rains.

i AC needs to be diagnosed, probably a compressor. Will see. at least the blower works , that I know

Engine runs like a top,only one code/ po455 Evap system large leak detected

Any advised will be helpful

Thanks,
Evap System Large Leak Detected

1. Pull the door panel (assuming it is just 1 window) and jump the power connector to the motor and see if it activates.
2. Pull the A/C unit from the dash (you need a release tool to remove it) On the back, there are twist in tiny bulbs. Just replace. Don't worry about the head light switch bulb, as it is kind of useless anyway. If you want to change it, just pull the knob off and replace the bulb.
Don't know what the SOS thing is your referring to?
Is the A/C compressor engaging when you turn it on?
Evap system could be a hose loose, or worn out. Just check and replace if needed.

Thanks for your reply.
Seems like the whole window panel switch do not work. I probably disassembled the whole thing and clean the contact+inspect for rust or other contamination.

Troubleshooting

Ac unit removal. Got it. It just seems odd that only the bulb on that level do not lights up.

SOS bottom water leak I think is sunroof clogged drain. I just don't see any access from the top.

Ac comp do not engage,maybe not enough refrigerant cause for a leak or something who knows

The sunroof drain tubes are located in the front right and left corner when the sunroof is retracted. This can get clogged with dirt.
The A/C back light should come on if you replace the bulb. Not a common bulb, but available.
If the compressor doesn't engage, it could be the switch connector or low refrigerant.
Power window buttons sometime get a bath from spilled coffee or other liquids.
Pull off the burled panel with the switches and check for contact problems. You Tube will have several videos of how to do it, and it's a 5 minute job.
