So the snow finally started melting away yesterday. And I've been able to drive the car around a bit. Gauges are working really good, so far they all work non-stop. The temp gauge still needs to be tapped every time to get it started, so that must be the gauge itself is sticky.
The display on the OBC seems to go in and out, so I guess its either a loose connection or the bulbs going bad.
I've always thought the stereo sounded a bit funky but I rarely ever even have it on, since most the time I drive it so far it's been for "test drives" after doing something. But I was messing around today and realized the only speaker on the left side that works is the top front tweeter. The speaker in the kick panel, and the real one don't work at all. Right side seems fine front and rear. Also there's a fairly loud buzz sound from the speakers any time the stereo is on. So obviously a wiring issue somewhere causing those issues.
I also got the multi-meter out today and figured out the issue with the key less entry. For some reason the power lead to my antennae which according to the tutorials is constant power, isn't. Not sure why, and I didn't check if it energizes when the car is on. I just ran the lead direct to the battery since it is back there anyway, and the line has a fuse built into it. Once I did that, it works fine. Which is good because the locks on it are getting really funky and I thought the key was stuck in the driver door a couple times already.
