Muscle, its one of the "tougher" mods to do, but one of the best ones also. I suggest starting out with light weights and doing max repetitions for your problem. This should solve your issue. After about a solid month of breaking this mod in, you won't even remember you had a door issue.

In all seriousness though the door handles can sometimes be harder to open. I suggest lifting UPwards in the air instead of pulling. I went to test drive a fox and he said the handle was a little hard to open and I said ok. I went up to the car and ripped it off.....=/ he was a little bad but had new ones he was getting ready to put in. He still messages me randomly and says "you owe me a door handle" LOL.

My door handle is starting to do it a little bit now to, but if you pull it upwards, its alot easier, if you pull up and out you very well might rip it off lol, thats from experience jasper lol.

Kinda scary that they blew a fuse or something worse. Poke your head up in the dash and see what the wiring looks like. The should have gotten most of the connections in the drivers kick and the ignition hrns, see if you can see the wiring and what it looks like, what kind of connectors.....

Have you tried a little oil on the mechanism? A month or so ago I pulled up next to a guy in a nice 05 supercharged and we started talking and were both going to the same gas station. We talked cars for a little while and when I went to shut my hood it made a horrible noise and would not latch. We messed with it for a few mins but I was around the corner from my house and on the way. I went home and added some oil and it latched perfect. I have opened that hood a million times just cause and only 2 times to show it off to someone(I have not done much to the motor) figures it jams up on the time I am showing it off.....
