Where do these things go??????
I pulled off the driver's side inner panel of my 97 SC2 today to see if I could fix the lock/unlock module (which now sticks in place and must be rocked to the neutral position to stop the lock or unlock action.
When I opened up the lock/unlock switch, there were two places for "see saw/rocking contacts" that make different electrical connections. Only one of the contact rockers was there. But the switch functioned, it just did not self cancel. It's like a spring is missing but it's a closed chamber and there was no metal around. If it is some other method of spring action w a different material, I'd love to know what it is.
Also needed to deal w a speaker buzz.
ANYWAYS
I always put the fasteners in the back section of the center console.
On one screw, I reached blindly for said location and missed.
How far could it go?
I spent 30 min searching for the damn screw that holds the inner door handle and lock/unlock switch.
Did not find the screw.
What I DID find:
1. A penny from 1980.
2. A scattering of foam stuffing, presumably from the driver's seat
3. A bridge token for the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission for PA and NJ.
Now I have to vacuum the car to find it.
Missing spring action, missing screw....where do these things go?
