A diagnosis is really all I need help with, I have someone who can likely do the actual repair once it’s been identified, he just isn’t able to diagnose the issue. Thank you so much for being willing to help.
Not sure what happened to my post...

Anyway, you're about 3 miles west of us on 10th.

I have some time this weekend, the needed tools, and a spare (repaired) FP relay.

Shoot me a message and I'll check our schedule to see when we might be able to meet up.

Sorry to say I do not have a spare fender, but I do know of a guy down near Louisville that might. He owns a huge Volvo salvage yard and had all the parts I needed after a fender bender I had last summer.

abscate is just messing. I've been trying to find a fender since last April. Been a bit busy to really put in a search too deep though.

Let me know, and hopefully we can figure out the issue with the car.

I didn't get a PM from you, but I sent you one, so hopefully that works.
