[s-cars] on another note, IR remote no work

[Bob Frizzell]

I agree with Teddy, that is the best solution, although I must admit I
haven't done it yet.  The problem is likely that the receptors in the
B-pillar are bad - but don't even consider buying a new replacement - see if
you can get one from one of the listers whose wrecking a car. Did you ever
have one side working? - that would confirm that the problem is the
receptors.
