Ed,
Glad to hear you got the doors working again. I believe that the hydrolic
doors take between 7 to 9 seconds to open - which is very slow.
>From what I've heard the hydrolic pump is a large draw. I remember when I
was looking at one at a dealer when they were new. They wouldn't open the
doors for you unless you put $500 down. They said that 5 or so opens and
closes killed the battery if the car wasn't started. Another reason to
convert to the air doors. :)
