Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I did, that is how I learned to do everything so far.
(I know, I know, it is an easy way to get a post count and try to insult someone .. .. just tell them to search. But did you bother to check if I had already searched? To answer your un-asked question - Yes, I have done over 300 searches on this site alone.)
See, this person gets it.
Flush brake and coolant fluid if they haven't been done recently.
Did you check air filter and cabin filter?
Check tie rods and ball joints for play?
Sway bar end links for any clunks?
Shocks for any signs of leakage around the piston seals?
Lubed the door and trunk hinges?
Looked at the brake pad thickness?
Checked radiators to see if it needs cleaning?
Coolant cap to see if you have the updated one?
Drive belt visual for any cracks?
Just some stuff off the top of my head...
Remove new Serpentine belt and check pulley wheels for play and quietness and check for dampness around water pump housing. Check brakes with caliper off (2 bolts) for wear sensors fitted anti squeal shims on back of each pad and condition of pads. Flush the brake system with new fluid. Clean crap from between radiators and condensers. Clean all drainage holes. New coolant flush. Cut oil filters from now on to check for debris. With that done, you are well on your way for smooth driving.

Everything looked great except the spoiler needed to be seriously cleaned and greased.
Thanks again
Ferd is not joking....it is a common issue. The switch used is not the most expensive in the world. We both changed ours about the same time a few years back. Several guys have done so.
Now to the check the blinker fluid....awe boy..
