Nice! Hopefully mine won't fail soon, but good to know it's DIYable.

you need a new pump!, thats what mine was doing i had to keep resetting every 2 days , not having to keep resetting the pump every couple days is GREAT!!!!!!!i replaced mine and im good to go its been working for 3 days no probs.................

this is the one i bought a steal at $155.00

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=310061116739



heres a link if you want to buy a new one cheap, just make the seller an offer i made the offer for 165.00 shipped and then he lowered the auction.

How can I check if I have soft close on my front doors??
Just got a '00 S-500, and my rear doors, and trunk have soft close, but not the Driver, and Passanger doors....Im assuming that both front pumps are bad....

There is only one pump serving all soft close functions... but indeed there may be a leak somewhere from the pump towards the front doors. If it is that, it will become more expensive, though (replacing the lines vs. replacing the pump), mainly because of labor and testing.

hey S500 man. That link from 2 years ago for the PSE pump doesnt work for obvious reasons! I was looking for an aftermarket one or something. Do you remember the sellers name? Trying to find a chinese company or something that wont cost 500 bucks, and 165 sounds good to me. Dont want to go with used since who knows if that will go bad.
