Well there's your problem.

Solved the power lock issue. Rewired and now all is good.

No doubt electrical harnesses don't like salt water.

Finished up a second soundbar for when I'm doorless...took off the existing bar, covered it in tin foil, and glassed right over it. Removed it, trim, cut, light sanding and sprayed it with undercoating, and got the speakers put on....installing as soon as weather permits, looking like rain the next few days..

Hmm I was going to buy a second soundbar from a junker. Maybe I'll try this.

The reason I went this route is I couldn't find one anywhere but ebay for $100+....took a few days to do (did several layers to make it more stout than the stock one) but not too difficult at all. Took 2 small packs of matting and a quart of resin, total cost around $27

Thanks...it coulda been nicer if I took more time with it to add body filler and smooth it out more, but didn't want to take that much time....functionality was all I wanted. As far as a write up, guess I shoulda taken more pics...
