Went to a scale before my first fillup... with 2 bars on the tank left, stock everything, it weighed in at 1860lbs. Put 9.598 gallons from the gas station a few miles down the road right after.

Once you hit 1 bar and the gas light comes on, how much fuel do you have left? I read it's a 10 gallon tank, but seems like it might hold a bit more.

I also metered the LEDs I put in for the license plate light, map, dome, and front markers to compare to the stock bulbs. It's basically 5w vs 1.15w each.

So one weird issue I've found: The drivers power door lock always works fine. The passenger door and hatch, however, don't always lock or unlock. In fact, it seems to work only once after about 10-30 minutes. After that, they try, but have little power. I pulled the trunk latch all apart and checked out the motor to it. Spins all the way the first time, then each click gets worse. I checked all the connections back there and also redid the connection in the passenger B panel (1 pin was fairly corroded, 1 was mildly, so soldered new wire to both.)

Any ideas?
