    Flex plate issue

    The Ford dealer gets there flex plates from a trans shop down the road now haha I already checked there, I'll keep checking trying to get her back up ASAP, I'm having a shop do it this time for $500 plus provided parts, figured that price wasn't bad I figured it would be over $1000.

    Door ajar!

    All doors are shut, it constantly thinks a door is ajar have to leave battery disconnected because it will die within a week and sometimes the alarm goes off randomly , but I think the problem was intermittent then now it thinks a door is open all the time. Any ideas? I'm hoping this is an easy fix.
