These helped me out alot (to get a better understanding that is)

I know its for the G but I dont see the difference except for the outside of the car..I hope this helps and with 100K miles...get some this done first. If you continue to have issues, start seriously looking at going to the dealership, pay the 75 bucks for them to plug in that consult and tell you exactly what the issue is. Then find the parts, find some help, and get sh*t done..
