Yesterday, the husband of an older couple (he is 82) dropped by. He wanted to ask my help and advice on what to do with his much loved 98 Toyota Camry. Only 110k miles on it, and owned from new. He has had it serviced or done work on it himself. He and his wife have newer Volvos and he has decided t...

Hi! This will likely be my last little bit of trailer bits until I save up some money to get the steel and paint/primer for the new wall.

I had a fault with the motor on my '09 BCM that caused an anti-skid message. VIDA read it as a "vacuum motor" fault. After a lot of research, I found a thread in here about the brushes in the BCM motor. I only had around 90k miles on it, at the time. I harvested a motor that looked similar...

I was able to get the door open using techniques in 2 YT videos. I had to break the door panel, but it was already somewhat broken.
