    Good morning CT.

    My hood cable and the release lever both broke when I removed the lower panel to run the wiring for the switch panel. :annoyed:

    My niece finally bought a car. Now she can stop sending me links to Facebook marketplace that never work when I click on them.
    It's a 2006 Ford Fusion with 116,000 on it.

    Good morning CT. :wave:

    Need to work on getting power to the switch panel. Today might be a good day for that. My lift is still tied up with that engine job. :(

    and seals and O-rings. Finally started putting the engine back together.

    Good morning CT. Permanently mounted the switch panel. Drilled a bigger hole to use a bigger screw and used blue loctite on the main screw. Hopefully it doesn't vibrate loose.

    I'm insure. It's been sitting on my lift for almost three weeks because they always have something else for me to do.
    Of course I have some missing parts. If they had me start on it when I wanted to. It would be done by now.

    This is the first time I've had any Lexus engine apart. I'm usually the one doing electrical and interior work.
