Was driving my Nav couple months ago. Pulled into parking space in front of my destination. But wait - car still moving! Jumped the curb! Hit the corner of the building! Not very hard but unknown to me this used Nav I bought 6 years ago had seen a harder hit in same spot before I bought it...

The part that says LS on it. Passenger side rear of fender the extension of the side anti-ding strip for loss of words. My car is a 2001 LS V6 in Autumn Red. Anyone have this little part please contact. TIA.

Sorry to see you go, MHM. Best to ya.

I may have solved this. At least it has not happened for a couple of months. The weather changed. It was raining almost every day. Sometimes hard. Sometimes long. During a break I looked in the trunk of the Z. Not only was it wet but there was a large infestation of MOLD on the trunk floor...

OK Rock Auto sent replacement. I installed and window goes up and down again. So I took it on the long ride. No problems.

Some more mpg info. Cleaned the MAF sensor. Ran two tanks of Chevron Supreme instead of el cheapo regular. Took her on a 200+ mile round trip on highway. Got 21 mpg. That's about as good as she's ever gotten. Going to keep an eye of her mpg.

Dunno. Next time I'm under there I'll look.

The thing is covered by warrantee! Gonna get a replacement. In meantime gonna see if I can get the motor onto the existing piece.

OK it's the window motor. Tried another and works. Happen to have a motor I pulled off another window mech.

Tried DDM from a donor. Nope. But with panel off I can hear a relay behind sheet metal piece. So off with that.

Well I've got two donor cars. Tried the switch assembly from one and it has the same problem. Pulling door panel off today.

I've run regular for a decade or more.

It IS always something. In past month or so: Fixed crashed drivers window. Replaced bad upper control arm. Fixed not working windshield washer. Trying to solve a poor gas mileage issue. Went out for a 'long' drive in the LS. 150 miles RT. After 30 or so miles I stopped and filled her with...

Still chasing this. Running Chevron Supreme. See if that helps. I usually get cheapo regular.

Thanks. I'll try that today when I button it all back up.
