    Crazy cycling seek on cold start then silence

    So when my wife starts her 2004 LX on cold mornings I get this cycling squeak. It disappears faster as the outside temps goes up and is only on start up. Doesn’t do it the rest of the day. I had the idler pulley, drive belt tensioner, and fan clutch replaced and 2 days later it did it again...

    Dash says lights are out but lights appear fine - please help

    I was just going to post same question. My guess is that the tail lights are double filament bulbs. Can someone confirm before I pull the lenses yet again.

    New Member, Just Purchased 2004 100 Series

    I have had a 99 LC and still have a 99 Lx, I drive an 04 LC daily and prefer the 5sp over the 99's for highway drving. . I recommend a GROM cable to access music. I use mine all the time. For how much I use it and Google maps it was money well spent.

    Odd Oil Pressure Gauge Behavior

    I had to replace my gauge recently. I cant remember the specifics but it was cheaper part and a :banana: job. Takes 15 minutes or so. There is a write up on it somewhere.

    Wheel options (cheap) - 2000 LC

    I have 18's on my 04 and am looking to go back to 16's like I have on the 99 LX. More room to air down and just seems to be more tire options for a 16. Love my BFG's

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Replaced the front door speakers with Infinity 6030's from a previous post. Sounds a lot better but is not booming. Still way better than the blown speakers it had in the 04. The plastic around the door locks is a pain to remove but an easy job. Now I have to figure out how to remove the...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Did the Sub woofer replacement on the 04 LC with the Pyle replacement woofer. The foam was toast. Took a little over an hour. Sounds better but not bumping. I would say the stock woofer has a bigger magnet as it just felt heavier than the replacement Pyle.

    I just wanted to bet back on here and confirm that this GROM unit is the proper until for a 2004 with JBL NAV/DVD system. Installation is easy. You literally remove the the trim on dash, remove the 4 screws, unplug the bottom left wire, plug that into the GROM unit and plus the wire you removed...

    I have this same issue on my Green 99LX. Mine is only between windshield and the sunroof which is what yours looks like. I have been waxing it regularly to protect but it bugs me.

    2004 - Roof monitor wont power up- Also Itunes integration Question.

    Ok ,I found a unit to connect the Iphone. Now I have the still un-answered stupid question regarding the drop down video screen. Does it power up automatically when you open it. I can see on the headunit itself that it says the back screen is off but cant find anywhere in Owners Manual or on...

    2004 - Roof monitor wont power up- Also Itunes integration Question.

    First I will admit I have a problem. So far I have had 2 99 LC's (Both totaled) and still have a 99LX. I went to look at an AWD sedan on Saturday for a commuter car and ended up coming home with a 2004 LC. We took a road trip Sunday and I cannot get the back screen to come on. I can watch the...

    unstable oil pressure gauge

    Super easy fix. Located next to the oil filter. Napa had it stock and took me 20 or so minutes. Longest part of the job is skid plate removal and reinstall. I was around 75 at Napa. 170-200 at Toyota and Lexas. Lexus was cheaper then Toyota.

    Any tips on getting the LX to perform better at passing?

    I went from a 4cyl Wrangler to an LC and then the current LX. One of little joys in my life is passing any Wrangler, 4 or 6cyl up Donner Pass on the way to Tahoe. I have to pass the slow trucks all the time no problem and dont think twice hopping back into the slow lane in front of someone to...
