Thanks for the heads up about the battery door, mine is like new.. Yeah that's the question, I need to spend some more time tracing the wiring out to see what's what. What did you end up doing with the seats??
I put an ad on Craigslist for free seats but got no bites. Ended up scrapping them out. Same with the wheelchair lift. I got my bus from the local transit authority and they didn't want any of them either.
