Nice find. Does it look like it might have anything useful on it?

Might be worth a trip out there to take a look at it.

It _should_ light up when the fog lights are engaged, but the little yellow light is in the button. You will have to get the BCM re-programmed, or do a custom fog-light relay (someone posted a link to a DIY 12V relay for this exact thing).

*question* wouldn' it be smarter for the engine's to be pulled, and then sold off to another vwhicle owner who needs to replace/upgrade his higher mileage one?

that was a dumb question-of course it would, but logic is not part of that equation!

Would make sense but the gov wants us all driving 4 cylinder or electric or hybrid cars, so they're going to let them be wrecked and probably mandated part of it.

Ya I took a look at my buddies S10 and saw that the little white dot lights up. Tricked me!

Any chance you have a link to that DIY? Can't seem to find it, but definitely will come in handy.

i'm looking for the same thing (driver's door only though), and the best price i've got-in fact it's the only one i've found-was for $75, and they pull. it's on a truck that's inside their insurance compound, and hasn't been released to the main yard yet. so you know i've been playing the waiting game (6 months now), but i know it's gonna disappear right before it makes it out to the yard.

X3 I hear you on this one. I almost hate going to jalopy jungle because eversince it came under new ownership they still have the cameras and they still work but nobody's watching for stupid people breaking part because they're stupid, lazy or don't care. I can't count how many back windows were busted out. Oh yeah in the past they used to help you get the big stuff out like tranny and tcase or engine but not anymore. Still at least the prices went down.
