I forgot to mention that i got Titan back on Friday evening. Dad went to pick him up because i worked until 4:30 at one job and from 5-12 at my other job so i didn't have time. Titan was parked right in front when i got home

Titan's acting his usual weird self again. Now that my timingbelt and waterpump worries are gone, others have popped up.

*Door Microswitch

I was leaving Saturday morning to Coral Springs/Margate and when i started driving, i noticed that my interior lights didn't turn off. I just manually turned them off and continued on my trip because i was already 25 minutes into the drive.

When i got there, i closed my door and locked it, but got no horn beep. I took my sister for a ride later and she let the wind slam the door (not intentionally) and when it did, it beeped! Sunday evening came and i was back at home and while i was inside ironing my workpants, the alarm started going off! This freaked me out because i've NEVER heard my car's alarm before as my flipkey doesn't work. Thankfully, my valet key got rid of the alarm.

Since then, i haven't had an issue with this, but it did happen and i'll be keeping my eye on this.

*Spoiler Speed Sensor

While the car was at the shop, they said that the reason my sunroof isn't working is because of a failsafe of that spoiler light. AND they said that that spoiler light is on because of the "Spoiler Speed Sensor" that is faulty. Makes sense because it will never go up if i dont put it up, AND if i have it up, it goes DOWN at 10mph (accelerating past it but not slowing) AND 93mph (accelerating past it)

So does anyone have any tips on either of my current issues?
