    Default Follow up on dead battery - Replaced right side front latch and actuator

    Symptoms:
    * Battery was draining
    * Occasionally the alarm would go off.
    * Noticed that under cold conditions the passenger door ajar indicator would stay on.
    * This was an intermittent problem

    Effort was close to trivial.

    2 6mm bolts that hold the trim panel in place. Removed those.
    Broke the plastic bolt sleeve that held the passenger door module on. I thought it was clips, but turned out it was 1 clip and one bolt I will get some contact cement and that should be fine.

    All the clips and rods came off easily.

    The hardest part was coughing up the $245 CAD for the replacement piece.

    I noticed a fair bit of moisture in there behind the moisture barrier (plastic sheet). I'm assuming some moisture got in and was fouling the internals.

    I tested, passenger door issue seems resolved. It'll be a week or two in chilly weather before I'm sure it's 100% solved.
