many things such as my hatch wiper, speedo, reverse lights ect.. don't work... I was wondering, the lights on the door panels... they are supposed to turn on when my doors are open right? how bout the dome light. can someone explain to me the three slots the switch has? Another thing, if you can't tell if your automatic suspension adjuster **** is working, it prolly isn't huh? my rpms drop ever so slightly when i activate it to both settings but i'm really not sure if it works. any comments are and will be appreciated,

I know the pluger switch in the door jambs sometimes dont
quite work right. Take your finger and push in and out on it a few times.
Check the fuses, then check the bulbs, the switch in the middle
of the light is off,on, and door. Door means it works with the door.
Also check that the door lights are plugged in, it can be
forgotten to plug back in when you take the door panel
off and put it back on.

Actually, maybe he was an astronomer like me. I disable all of my interior lights and door lights, because if I open the door at work and the lights go on, I get shot at
As for everything else, DOWNLOAD the FSM. It explains how to adjust the headlight position when closed, and probably tells you about that sensor. It's not the best FSM I've ever seen (actually, for a factory manual, I think it kind of sucks, but I'm used to the Toyota one that tell you EVERYTHING), but it's alot better and faster than Haynes or asking the forum here.
