Okay....I'm about to yank all my hair out. Everytime I turn around there seems to be some new "phantom" electrical issue with this car. The other day I had the cruise set and it was working fine. I had to come off of it for a minute to get thru a traffic bottleneck, and when I hit "resume"...

For the past week or so my message center will switch from time/date to "autolamp delay 1:00", then it will switch to 2:00, then back to 1:00, then eventually back to time/date. Then it will start all over again, and so on and so on. I do, in fact, have the delay set at 1:00 and I'm having no...

Equal parts tequila and triple sec, sour mix, splash orange juice, and a fresh lime squeeze.

Okay...the compressor was kicking on and off about every 2 seconds, so I checked the pressure. It was a little low (down around 25 on the gauge). I added a bit...until the compressor stopped kicking on and off and it felt pretty cold. Then when I drove it later it wasn't staying cold. So I...

Thanks. I'll check the compressor function and the refrigerant. I'm gonna be P.O.ed if this thing isn't working or I have a leak. I had $600 worth of work done on the A/C system last summer. Evidently the previous owner neglected the car pretty badly and allowed a lot of rust to build up. My A/C...

I don't notice the compressor doing anything weird, but maybe I'm not hearing or feeling it. It seems like it will try to get cool for a minute and then go back to not so cool.

My A/C doesn't want to get cold when it's sunny and hot outside. The blend door needs replacing, but I've been adjusting it manually and that is working fine for now. I don't think it's a coolant issue as it gets really cold when the weather is not too hot (and at night). It also seems to blow...

I have a '97 LSC, Dark Blue w/tan interior. It has the usual Gen 2 issues (blend door, wiper motor parking mechanism). It also has a phantom electrical issue that causes the memory seat function to go wonky sometimes (nothing I can't deal with). Other than that it's in very good shape. I...

What shape is the wiper motor in? I'd be interested.

I probably should have tried him, but I went ahead and ordered them at Advance. Paid under 250 for both arm assemblies(tax included). From what I have researched, that's not a bad price. I think I may have found a reliable shop that will put them on for less than 3 pints of blood and my first...

Thanks...There's a Pepboys near me. I'll check with them. I'm not sure if there's a Tiresplus here, but I'll check into that, as well. The best price I can find on the parts is thru RockAuto.com. If you know of a better place to get them, please advise. Thanks for your help.:)

Does anyone know of a mechanic in the Nashville area that actually knows anything about these cars? No one I've talked to seems to know how to work on them (except the dealers) and I've been screwed one too many times by them. The tire place where I go said they don't even know how to replace...
