    With 108k on the clock already, baby her, for now. She is so very used to the previous owner that any sudden change in driving style can hurt it FAST. It's not an old wive's tale. It's like a new girlfriend that you met at church.... you need to slooooowly move around the bases before you run for home. Don't treat her like you met her at a loose bar or you may end up with a case of the "WHY ME?!" in the morning.

    Be gentle....

    yeah i am going to check her fluids and watch her every move for now... she will most likely not be offroading other than dirt roads for camping or hunting... she will be babied for quite some time

    Mash on the light with your hand - if it comes on then the door activation switch may be bad - check the other door and see if it comes on there. If the doors and mashing doesn't make it come on it's prolly the bulb.
