Thanks all for your help in the above problems.
 
The fix for the express down feature was to repair the wire break at the
door area (inside the rubber boot). Fun place to work.
 
The fix for the interior lights was to reflow the solder points on the
relay PCB. The relay WAS the blue relay in the aux relay panel in the
driver's footwell.
 
Will work on the other problems as time allows. 
 
While I had the soldering iron out I decided to replace the bulb in the
driver's side seat heater switch. Since the package of bulbs from Radio
Shack consisted of two bulbs, I decided to install both. It worked
great. Did the other switch as well. I just stacked the bulbs on top of
each other and then covered the bottm area with tape so as not to allow
any white light bleed out of the switch. It increases the illumination
of the indicator (seat icon) as well as (those of us 40+ will appreciate
this) finally making the numbers on the switch readable at a glance
instead of peering down to see if you are on the "2" or "3" setting. By
the way, they do not light up so much that is too far out of line with
the other swtches. Another thing I noticed is that the anti-lock switch
is missing the bulb for the triangle to ight up. Normal? i figure it is
because indication is done at the IC.
 
Thanks again everybody for your help on these problems and the anti-lock
issues.
