I had my starter replaced by the dealer 27 months and 22,000 miles ago. The first failure was due to a pitiful submerging This failure in such a short time with no unusual circumstances has me a bit uneasy. All the symptoms of a starter failure including a scalding hot positive battery...

I have one more detail to add to the damage list. The display that shows the direction of the front wheels doesn’t show the wheels. It shows the image of the body but no wheels. Seems odd that would be affected. Is there some sensor or connection around the under body that could have been...

Any place I can find that catalog you refer to online? And/or a diagram of that interface unit?

Meant to say, I often do stupid s*** for a good fish on the fly! This was one of them.

For me it

Thank you for the positive note. Much appreciated. The locksmith had it open in 2 minutes. It started so I moved it into garage, parked it, disconnected battery cables and proceeded to pull apart Trim pieces to lift carpet and block it away from the floor boards to get more air flow. In doing so...

Sorry for being flippant. You are trying to help and I maybe took it wrong. Thanks

Because the fact of the matter is, there are many more “pros” familiar with this vehicle on this forum. Obvious suggestions or like aren’t helpful. Treat yourself to a Corona bro!
