A few months ago the Display and the Chimes of the factory head unit quit working. Audio from the radio is good minus the left door speaker...

Re: Center Reflector Salvage yard find.

I took a bunch of pictures along the way...I will post them once I have uploaded them. I opted to mask and paint the inside of the cover... It looks good at the moment. However I am letting cure for a few weeks since it is cold now and I do not have a heated garage. I masked the outline and each of ...

Re: Heater/Ac Blower 2002 SE

very well could be the connector that the pigtail is plugging into if you had to move it to the side to get it to work sounds like a cold or broken solder joint. could you fix it maybe, but probably more economical in time and frustration in replacing the fan assembly

I am at 183k and mine is doing this as well. I use Torque Pro to log the data and check readiness. I can clear it and it comes back... Cat is not clogged so I am running it as it is for now as we do not smog check and if they do they just look for codes... delete in the parking lot and pray it don't ...

Re: Remote start and factory alarm don't like each other

IIRC you can order a PCM from Intense with this disabled or is that just for VATS? Which is for a previous generation again IIRC. That in itself is a $200 venture. before core return on your old PCM. Talk to Andrew at Bonnevilles Unlimited (Harofreak00) and he can get you 2 fobs and the module no ...
