What started out as a just needing to put air in the spare ended up 8 hours later with the door tore apart. But I did learn a few things. I thought I'd see if I could figure what was wrong with the power antenna. It just ran all the time when we got the car so I pulled the fuse out. My daughter has always driven the car and never said anything so I left it alone. Turns out the intermittent wipers didn't work as well. I was ready to tear into the timer when I figured I'd put a fuse back in and test the antenna. Lo and behold I now have wipers. No idea that the same fuse ran the antenna and intermittent wipers. While I was in the fuse box I noticed that one of the power window fuses was in the wrong position and swapped with the telephone fuse. Put that in the right spot and now I have working windows! Then found the fuse for the passenger side rear window was blown so I put a new one in and the window goes half way down and quits. Spend the rest of the day trying to get the window back up which I finally do then pull the fuse until I can get a new regulator. At 10 last night I finally got air in the tire.

Ha!

Sounds like me in the garage! My wife has different "time zones" for me - that adjust the stated time that I'll be done based on what I'm doing...

Standard Time is add about 20 minutes...
WOTHT (Working on the house time) is +1.5 hours
WOTCT (Working on the car time) is +2 hours or more

:D

If by chance you haven't downloaded the service manual for your car, check it out at www.infinitiservicemanual.com
