A few annoying problems
Guys, 2 problems I'd like to fix. 1) my drivers door will not lock with the door open. If the door is open you cannot push the lock handle down no matter how you try, you can on the passenger side. However, if the door is closed you can push the handle down and all doors lock and unlock. You can still put the key in the outside drivers door and lock all regardless if door is open or closed. Anybody? New lock mechanism?
2) Every once and awhile my radio antenna stows itself for no reason. The radio will be on and it will just go down, you have to turn the radio off and back on and it will come up for the remainder of the trip. Anyone had this happen?
BTW,my engine wiring harness DOES need replaced (just offering this info as this seems to effect Everything on these cars
)

you must lock the drivers door with the key!
that's how it works...i guess an attempt to not lock keys in car[?]
i can't help you on the antenna, sorry
replace all your ceramic fuses too. it'll cost $3-$5

I have the exact same problems, even with the "ant" button pressed so that it can remain in the up position it will go down regardless...

But seriously, no one knows what exactly might be happening with my antenna? Guess its a short of some kind.
