    spark plug problem....

    I used a magnetic socket that seemed relatively thin walled. I found it on amazon. I had to push hard and discovered it barely caught the plug so I attempted to loosen it and 'bingo'. It seemed to improve as I removed the plug but still had to push down. I don't know what is going on to...

    spark plug problem....

    I want to thank everyone who had an idea. I did look for something that had fallen into hole and thought maybe the rubber keeper on a plug socket could be a good candidate. I used a long pick to reach in there and see if I could dislodge and retrieve something. I retrieved nothing. After...

    spark plug problem....

    Thanks for the suggestions. It is showing the top of the spark plug. The plug is in and working but I cannot get a socket deep enough to engage the Plug. I will get some long dental pick and thin needle nose to try and grab it.

    spark plug problem....

    Greetings, I had this problem pre-covid and did not drive my LC much. But the problem I originally posted on is still present. I have a 98 LC. I have one plug that I cannot access with a socket. Here is a picture of what it looks like. It looks like some shied or sleeve is obstructing...

    1998 LC starts and runs for 1-2 seconds.

    My 98 LC has had an electrical gremlin with the power windows/sunroof. i changed the relay for the windows on the backside of the kick panel fuse box but my windows still don't work. I must have a broken wire. When I attempt to start it --it cranks, fires but will not run more than 2...

    removing the driver side junction box help

    Thanks for the input. When I looked at the junction box I was not excited about removing it. The wire bundles and plugs are packed into such a small area but apparently there is no easy remedy. Thanks again.

    removing the driver side junction box help

    I am having an electrical problem and suspect a problem with the 'Power Main Relay' and possibly the 'Door Lock Relay'. Am I correct in assuming these are on the back side of the junction/fuse box which is behind the driver side kick panel? What is the easiest way to access these relays...

    power window/sunroof - no power?

    I have had problems with the alarm system also. How did you disarm it? Any tips would be appreciated.

    power window/sunroof - no power?

    Thanks for the tip. I have been screwing with this problem and a relay makes sense. I have the kick panel off and I assume the power relay is on the back side of the fuse panel. I hope to work on it soon.

    power window/sunroof - no power?

    Yes, I pulled most of the fuses and they all looked good and I plan to check them for continuity. I was hoping that a relay or fuse is involved that I am unaware of and that someone else on the forum may know of it.

    power window/sunroof - no power?

    I checked the door switch plug with a test light (ign off) and when I ground the wires- 2 wires sound like they are door lock related and then another wire is hot. When I turn on the ignition no other terminal show power. The other problem is the sunroof is not working. I checked the fuse...

    power window/sunroof - no power?

    I have a problem with my 98 LC. The windows and sunroof will not work. I checked the 40A fuse on the driver side kick panel. The fuse is good and there is power to that fuse socket. Is there a second fuse or a relay that is in this circuit that I am missing? Any ideas?

    Replacing Radiator info needed.

    Thanks for the tips. I was planning on ordering from Cdan who I've used before. This 98 has 230K on it and it finally failed. I've 3 coil packs fail in the last 3 weeks also.
