Has anyone ever had this problem before? I have a 2001 GTS and my driver side door won't open from the outside. It works fine from the inside and passenger side but dead using the outside door button......would appreciate any help!

Common for gen II cars. You probably have broken wires. Where the wire loom goes from the door to inside the car is where you would find the issue. When closed the are at a very small angle (big bend) causing the wires to break. Your outside handle is a poper and requires these wires.

Hands down, on a GEN II Roe, although they are in FL. Depending on your miles and how it has been driven you may need to get a new clutch, but the tranny should be OK. Also may want to upgrade your half shafts.

It can be installed by anyone with a mechanical background. I am installing a SC on my SRT Ram this winter and my 9-5 is a Network Manager.

www.roeracing.com. They are very helpful people.

I don't think a Roe is legal in CA is it? But a Paxton is. There's some shops in Calif that can install it right for you. Paxton s/c as delivered is lacking in some areas
