This vehicle is 13 years old and not worth fixing. Your time and hard earned money will be much better spent on something newer that doesn't have fire damage. With all the electronics involved I doubt the vehicle will ever be right again. In the old days, before computers, control modules, etc. if something like this happened you could just replace the wiring harness involved and maybe a few trim pieces and be on your way. With a vehicle like this you can easily spend a thousand dollars and many hours of your time and it still won't be fixed. Time to move on. Hope that helps! Jim

Jim, thx!! I hear you and understand the outlook. I have no other options left due to some serious damage done by some criminal syndicate that left me literally bankrupted My options remain immensely limited. So I have to DIY as far as possible..... assistance in answering my question would GREATLY be appreciated.... I trust you would understand.
