Well here is the list:

1) Right-front directional bulb is out
2) Two bottom bulbs are out (or maybe one, but just in case if they aren't TOO expensive I'd change both) (the very bottom bulbs in the front)
3) The master window switch is not working (well more specifically the window-lock toggle isn't working, it doesnt toggle off, so back windows are always locked)
4) I need information regarding the two red bulbs that are on the trunk, i dont think either of them turns on
5) I have two or three small bulbs from the brake light (thats inside the car, that you can see from the rear window), I heard its recommended to change all at once.
6) IMPORTANT: I need to install a new set of rotors since mine are oxidated and making funny noises.
6a) The suspension might be out, I will find out if they are after I replace the rotors because I dont know if the noise is coming from them or hte rotors, but when I'm driving and going over any holes etc I dont feel it too much, so I think the noise is coming from the rotors.

Any idea how much this is going to run me? This, aside from needing an owners manual so that I know what most of the features of my car DO are the only issues I've found so far. Oh and if they have the computer and a diagnostic can be run, I wouldn't mind having that done.

For # 2 That sensor is to turn the motion detector off or on in the car. Is very helpful if you leave a crack in the windows when it is hot out. If a little bug flys in, it won't set the alarm off. Or if you are leaving, as in my case, my dog in the car.

I just had my front brakes replaced at the dealer, rotors and pads, $385...just got a quote to do the rear rotors and pads for 345.

Right front bulb is easy, remove air box, have a skinny arm, twist out housing, remove bulb, replace. $2

Rear bulbs are easy too, not red, but white and only cost like $2 should be a removable pannel in the trunk on both sides.

You can turn off the MPH, when you get to the screen talked about earlier, use the up/down botton on the wiper lever, this button is on the very end of it. I will double check my manual to make sure.
