    Shifter cable bushing gone. New one or zip tie?

    When mine popped, I tried to use zip ties but they would only work for temporary usage. I could feel the shifter fighting to get into gear. I ended up getting the part for o'reilly but definitely didnt spend $20, it was max $15. Mine broke when I was picking something up from a person's...

    Another persistent P0420

    Hi, I have a similar code and was looking at the scan tool. You mentioned the following: "Scan tool shows the rear O2s have nearly even voltage in closed loop and don't follow the fronts" While sitting at idle, mine shows voltage matching for 02B1S1 and O2B1S2. Whatever S1 volt changes to...

    High beams and automatic wipers help

    when I turn right turn signal, my high beam comes on. I resolve by holding the switch towards me. Sometimes twisting the stalk a little gets it to go away.

    Sunroof Wont Close - Bad Motor?

    Some good news. I banged on the metal side of the motor like a starter and it started to work again but you could tell its on its way out. I was able to close sunroof and disconnected connection until I get a new motor to replace. The fact that it made improvement with that small action...

    Sunroof Wont Close - Bad Motor?

    I was able to get to the motor out and I also confirmed the clicking sound was coming from motor. This must mean its getting response from the switch. So not sure what would cause it to not move. I dont think its an issue with things in the way of the rails because it would atleast make noise...

    SOLVED: Water Leak?

    Finally took time to look into this and that is EXACTLY what happened. Had to remove sun visor and a pillar which gave enough access to see the failure. Added a rubber hose to secure connection and now all is well. THANK YOU!

    Water leaking from A pillar

    I had same issue. Drain hose that connects to sunroof was disconnected. It can shrink over time and pop off. You can add some type of rubber hose fitment to reconnect

    SOLVED: Water Leak?

    Yes I do. I was thinking the rubber for window seal that seperates body from door was an issue or even the SAT antenna from what I saw on youtube. Any suggestions?

    SOLVED: Water Leak?

    When it rains, I find a little puddle on the driver floor mat. I can also catch drips coming from the a pillar if it rains bad enough while I'm in car. I think its related to some window rubber. Just wondering what to buy and how to install? This is only on driver side.
