OK, so I've looked on here and can't find what the remote sensors are called on the driver's side and the trunk, I live in AZ and the sun has done its damage to them. Would anyone know what/where to find these little red and green gizmos? Or point me in the right direction at least.

thanks in advance.

You will probably find they are integral to each component.

Might try polishing them with 2000 grit followed by 3000 grit wet dry sand paper and a buffing wheel and/or changing the battery in your remote if its not responding as it should.

your looking at $200 +/- each for the sensor assemblies, better off either polishing them or if there toast, file off the exisitng plastic and replace it with a clear plastic cover using MEK to solvent weld the new cover on. That's what I did.
