I think it has? She used it at Smith college 2018 senior year.

She’s up to 183k. I bit the bullet and did the AC evaporator this summer. Abby is like me , polar bear…summer heat and us do not mix

Interesting. Since it seems to be a common problem, I wouldn't rule out the replacement module having the same issue. In any case, I'll replace the capacitors and report if it had any effect.

I tested the caps, they were in perfect condition. Anyway, the fault was not in the VGLA module.
It was the microswitch in passenger side rear door.
