Electrical Issues
Ok, so I got the car back. I must say, the paint work is nice. There's no clear evidence that the fender was replaced.
I have a couple of electrical issues, however, since the door needed to be removed
1. The window does not do it's little dip when I pull the door handle. If I open the door completely, the window does dip, but I know it's supposed to dip when the handle is pulled but prior to opening the door.
Along with this, LED does not light up when I deactivate the alarm or when I open the door with the key fob.
2. My alarm does not make the "lock down" sound that occurs once the alarm is fully armed.
For the windows, I tried winding down the glass and holding down the button for 5-10 secs, and then winding up the class and holding the button for 5-10 secs, i.e., the obvious reset procedure. This did not work.
For the alarm, I have no clue.
Is there a reset procedure that was missed? Any clues?
Thanks!!

Funny, I just called my AM dealership about the alarm. Mine has not made a noise since I have had it and did not know it was supposed to chirp until I picked my car up from the bodyshop and he asked why the alarm has never chirped. So when I get an answer, I will let you know.
Can't help you on nbr 1, but I bet the microchip contacts are not aligned properly or one or both contacts are loose

The sound is not a "chirp". The sound is a moderately weighted "click" approximately 25 seconds after the car is locked with the key fob. If you're outdoors you may not even notice it. To hear it requires you to pay attention while keeping quiet. The best way to hear it is in your garage at night.
This is my suspicion in that they forgot to connect something. Real odd though because the door functions fine in all other aspects.
Thanks for your input.
