    '99 LX-Dead Battery with new Battery & Alternator :(

    Thanks. I have been chasing current draw for awhile. Locks generally don’t work great at any time / temp. I found four motors on eBay. Will take advice on headlights. Current draw is .035 amps.

    Where did you get the motors? I have current draw intermittent with weather in my 99 and the doors don’t lock well. Thanks!

    Poor 100 snow+ice handling.

    I know this is an old thread but I have found my 99 to be downright dangerous on icy roads. I have owned it since 99 living in SoCal but moved to NW Montana on a road that is 30 miles each way that gets no treatment. In other words it is solid ice. I have the Nokian studded LT tires. My wife...

    Favorite Snow Tires for 100 series?

    Old post but did you try these? I’m in NW MT also 30 miles up a road that gets no deice and little sand. I have older Nokian AT that were studded but not the Haks. We have had A few scary moments on these…. Thanks!

    99 rolled. Advise?

    We didnt, It was flipped over on wheels about 15 min getting pulled out of ditch. Then just started. Smoked like crazy. Oil filter was 1/2 full of oil.

    99 rolled. Advise?

    Update: State Farm valued my cruiser at $9069 If I do not buy back I can negotiate upwards on aftermarket parts. I bought it back for $2162. Picked it up yesterday and drove it close to 100 miles. Missing badly. Oil pressure in the middle while running and 1/4 while idling. Its at my...

    99 rolled. Advise?

    99 rolled. Advise?

    Airbags did not go off. It went off road sideways. My local agent basically told me its out of her hands. The claims people have been nice but I guess tomorrow I will have an idea of whether its totaled. Which probably is the case. Its crazy.... I have an unnatural connection to this car.
