- fixed the broken airbag sensor connector from driver seat; service airbag warning is back off!

- got rear door speakers in

- got the rear door panels in finally now the speakers are in
-- one of the window switches doesn't work, and the other is 50/50 on going up
--- like $20 replacements from ebay on the way

- got the horn working
-- this was an interesting fix, found some youtube videos about a severed tan wire, it wasn't severed, but there were 2 tan wires --- disconnected them both and connected the ones *from* under the dash together, boom insta-horn working

- still need to do the parking brake, appears to be just adjustment needed on this

Priorities
1. getting MD state inspection passed
2. registered
3. 3rd row finally installed
4. intstall stinger and get 2nd battery sorted out (need to remove a bunch of non-switch aux wires just danging)
5. new head unit
6. hitch? new rear bumper? aftermarket? dunno yet
If you do a hitch, go ahead a replace the rear impact bar to get a factory hitch. Also get the GM 7 pin socket for it. The pigtail to plug into is just behind the bumper with a cap on it.

so adjusting the parking brake didn't get me anywhere, without pulling the wheels I'm just assuming there are no shoes - or some other adjustment is needed that I don't know about --- I have a tech coming out to look at it on monday and replacing shoes/adjusting it

I have to get this brake thing done to get inspection done.

still working on > vampiric draw problem < --- input / suggestions welcome

the replacement rear window switches came in - work like an absolute champ. really great deal on them and I'm really happy with that.

This thing is coming along nicely - but damn. I really want to get it to the point i can actually legally drive the darn thing =p

good news!

got the parking brake shoes replaced and parking brake adjusted

took for MD state inspection

3rd brake light is out (it was working, and i think i know why it isn't now)
1 bulb out on the license plate (ez fix)
bright headlights don't work --- this one i'm not so sure about cause of the various potential causes i've read on these, maybe try and look into tomorrow.

then i need rear shocks - need to see if this is something i can do myself, or take somewhere/pay.

i can't wait to drive this damn thing :(

I have replaced mine with OEM shocks. They’re shorter than non PPV units. I can look at my logbook for the numbers when I get home.

Maybe the one I circled. Curious if @Sparksalot's numbers agree.
