Re: The saga continues... (long)

Here's an electrical nightmare for you.  I bought my 82 Quantum wagon
with three broken door handles (pass. fr. was the only one which
worked), previous owner always used child safety locks so back doors
were totally inoperable. windows inoperable and front ones both half way
down, 
To get back doors open, I cut/broke door handles, removed fron half, and
broke
screw tab off with the screw that goes in from the door jamb.  Then I
reached in 
and opened the door.
