3. Restore headlights- I talked to a guy at a local body shop and he said the best way to do it is to take a very fine grit sand paper and sand off a minuscule layer then spray a few layers of clear coat to make them shine.

So far this is my list for the weekend:

1. Power Door Locks do not work(?) and Passenger door does not lock at all(Any ideas?)
2. Basic Tune Up- Starts after a few turns with the starter. No Problems yet but need to check SPs, and other basic stuff.

When the solinoids go bad they seize and then you cant move the loch mech. around.
Every Fox I have had with bad locks (all of them ) I have just replaced the solinoids with DEI versions for $15 each. You have to form the bracket they come with to the right shape but they go in easily. Bonus is they are very quiet, low poer draw and the locks are very easy to opperate manually

My bad, actuator is the more appropriate term. The one you have in your link there is the stock one. If you go to any car stereo shop that sells and installs alarms you can get the DEI actuators there. I believe I paid $15 each when I got them. They come with thoes old school stereo straps (thin stip of metal with holes in it) and you just make it into a U shape and put a screw retaining clip on the strap where the rivit normally is on the stock actuator. Then srec the actuator to the strap and trim off the excess stip. Then the metal rod it comes with you just need to bend to the stock rods shape and cut off the excess. Then put spade terminals on it and it can be pluged into the stock wire harness

Or you could just order these OEM ones for $33 a pair shipped
