control panel not working
Got the car back from bodyshop, and there were issues when they turned it over to me. First things I noticed were fuel & trunk release not working. I found the cover to the fuses in my center console, so I know they were trying hard to get things fixed before I got there. Before I left, they had the fuel door opening and the trunk opening.
A day goes by & the fuel door and trunk don't work again, actually nothing works on the panel (AFS, mirrors, etc)
What do I check first? Is there an easy fix?
The last time the panel stopped working, it was because the car wash people had somehow managed to pull it down & out of position, disconnecting the datacable all together. Lexus got $350 out of my pocket for that fix, since I didn't realize what had happened until well after leaving the car wash.

This is why I don't let people work on my cars. I wash and service my own vehicles and usually sell them if they ever required body work. I have a hard time when it comes to getting tires/alignments done.
People are just careless.

Ditto, for the most part. That was the first and last time I've sent a car through the car wash, and I do all other things myself. There are lessons you have to learn the hard way. I wish I could've just sold this car after the uninsured d-head tboned me. I was on my way to the car wash for a final detail before trading it in the next day on a newer body LS460. That was a month & a half ago, and 37 days in a Mazda MX6 (ugh), which insurance covered 30 days of. Sweet Jesus, what a tool job this has been, and the lack of attention to detail out of this body shop is mind blowing.
