I've owned my '90 LS for a little over a year and a half now. I've put on 15k miles in that time and a have nearly finished fixing or replacing all the items on the car that the previous owner had neglected to do. Such as the timing belt and water pump, a new battery, a new alternator, new Idle Control valve, new overflow reservoir for the radiator, 4 new O2 sensors, new plugs, wires and rotors, all new brake calipers, pads, rotors and lines, new lights and bulbs all around the car and a new power antenna assembly. There are probably a few other minor things I've failed to remember.

Now that all that is done I am finally getting to the point where I get to start enjoying the car more. However I still have a few minor things left to complete, before winter hopefully. None of them are crucial problems, but I would just like to get them fixed being the perfectionist I am.

1. All 4 courtesy switches are going bad. I managed to clean them out and they have worked a little better, but I would still like to replace them. I haven't been able to find them available online anywhere and the dealer wanted and arm and a leg for them. Is there anywhere I can purchase them and not go broke?

2. I just finished installing a new radio as an upgrade to the outdated Pioneer unit that was in there and as most of you know you lose the subwoofer as a result. I was wondering if there is a way to make the sub and amp hook up to my new radio. I have a working sub, and I don't feel like going and dropping even more money on a new amp just to run it. I have two RCA style hook ups on the back of my radio to power a sub and amp, but am not sure which wires to cut from the factory wiring to get it to work.

3. The back window was shattered when the previous owner had the car, and when they removed the back seat to clean up the broken glass they broke the snap that holds the back seat down. The seat now rattles constantly and is driving me crazy. Does anyone know of a place to purchase that little metal clip so I can snap my seat in place firmly?

Thanks for any help you all may have. When these cars are in proper working order they truly are a great car to drive.
