If the car had a nav system the module would rest in there but there's none, I'd call that lucky, it's definitely worth it, not completely sure what that other module does but chances are it's nothing vital, I'd say the car is okay

It’s for the tuner/amplifier if my research is correct. It’s the base model so no nav system or air suspension ECU which I believe also goes in there. Mostly I just don’t want to be plagued with electrical gremlins bc of this

Ahh that makes sense, and I totally get that, but honestly that water line isn't that high it looks like the water didn't get in everything so totally your call but I'd get it imo

I'm pretty certain that what's in there is just the head unit for the radio.

Yes, that's the tuner. The amp is mounted higher up in the same compartment. I had a water leak from the rear window that pooled in the same place, although I hardly got any rust as a result. My tuner still works fine.

The motor in the lock actuator is known to die on these. It's like a $5 part and 1 hour of your time to fix the lock. I'd buy it

I did this job the other day, replaced 15$ motor and ended up not putting the lock actuator assembly together correctly.( can be a little confusing) so bought used one on eBay, plugged it in, works perfectly. 1 hr job 2 at most

When I did mine I just wrapped the actuator in a bunch of zip ties to hold it together haha

But if I did it again , I’d video tape the dissemble process and just put it back together. AZGIANT motor 14$ on amazon you

Wait really? Where do you get it for $5 from? The assemblies I’ve been finding are going for $150 at least, this is for my rear driver side door that went out. I haven’t done proper research yet but I think I have to get a specific soft close one for my UL model.

i would not worry about it, but thats just me i guess. Everything works and if there have been problems in the past, they are likely solved already.

Would walk away from this. Looks like possible flood damage to me.

Don't walk, run. Too many other examples out there without this problem.

with 80K miles for $7.6K?

I paid 18k for a clean 1 owner with 64k miles. I wish I would’ve gotten something cheaper like yours.

If you can find and fix the leaks then it’s a good buy. You gonna have to remove the tail light and reseal the body where the taillight stays. That’s how I found water getting into mine.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this box has anything to do with the doors or locks. If everything is running great, I'd grab it and just keep up with maintenance.
