Still have issues with power lift trunk after replaced parts.
So I discovered that the trunk struts are for holding the trunk but have no functions on lifting or closing. The struts fixed the problem I had with trunk lid collapsing.
After replaced the struts, I have to provide a little force for opening or closing the trunk. Resetting 40A f13 and 30A f62 didn't help. The hydraulic pump is just sitting there and not doing anything. Checked the connector at the pump for both red and brown leads and saw no voltage. Checked f62 and got voltage there. Is there anything else that goes between f62 and the connector?

Is this it? Double relay V23074.
There are voltages coming in for both relay.
Searched the forum and can't find any relay info

DRDoe, number 5 in your list is probably the door lock ACTUATOR. That is usually the first one to go.

I joined yesterday after reading your post. This morning I found they charged 4 times of $75.00. So I emailed to the customer service and waiting for reply.

Also a friend of mine suggested that I should visit an upholstery shop for the center pillar and the rear seat.

Fixed a leak at the windshield washer tank hose and sensor. I poked a hole onto previous owner DIY lid to release the pressure. Will get an OEM lid. Funny the way people try to save a few bucks and create a bigger mess.

Will there be auto renewal and a charge after the expiration date? Looks like I got 159 days left.

I don't think there is on sponge seal things on genuine products.
Also, I recommend to check charcoal filters too.

I replaced the carbon filters already. They didn't look that bad but I already bought the new ones.
My next projects are transmission and power steering filters.

When I replaced my power steering filter I used a turkey baster to pump out the old fluid and replaced it with CHF 11 (the stuff in the green can). Same fluid that is used for my ABC.

I couldn't find the filter location with EPC. Can you point me to the general location of the filter?

VERY nice
I think I'm going to do the same thing and avoid the flush job. There are not much information from the board on power steering maintenance so I think replace old fluid with new fluid is all I could do.

On my car with the ABC System the power steering and ABC pump are tandem. However, they each have separate reservoirs. The reservoir for the ABC is the larger one closer to the fender on the driver's side. The power steering is smaller and is closer towards the serpentine belt. The filters are easy to change once you figure out how that weird spring like thing holding it in works.
