    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.

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