I know it's a bit late in the game, but did you check to make sure that the sensor behind the small grill on the left side panel (below the steering wheel) has the white plastic tube attached? (the system draws air through that tube and sensor to monitor the temp) It sounds like you're having a problem similar to what I was experiencing awhile back. (or make sure the sensor is clean)
So at some point the sensor (with attached tube) was tucked behind the air vent that goes across the driver side foot well, behind the metal plate that sits behind the knee panel. I noticed that about a month ago and routed it back out and snapped it into the proper slot in the knee panel. The white tube is definitely attached to it. Unfortunately, it didn't change the cold draft issue either.

See the diagram below: I feel the air all around the red circle marked as "1". Can it be leaking from the joint marked as "2"??

After years of horrible headlights, I installed CAROVER LEDs in hi and low beams on my 02. Difference is night and day. (Unavoidable) You install plugnplay but rotate the ring so the led reflects off the left and right sides of the housing. Lock the hex nuts then adjust your vertical and horizontal beam. No one flashes their brights at me despite the additional brightness. Three hours of night driving and I never needed my bright beam or my LED D2 fog lamps. Huge improvement. Lights even have a horizontal cutoff like a projector beam—astonishing. (2 months tested)
 
Had hornets harassing my hummingbirds last summer, and discovered their nest last week. So, my husband did his domestic duty and eradicated em.

That was smart to wait until winter. I tried the old "kill it with fire" method on a large wasp nest in front of my house this summer on a hot afternoon. As soon as I touched the torch's flame to the nest, the paper globe evaporated in flames and approximately 1.7 billion angry wasps spilled out onto the sidewalk. It was perhaps not my worst plan ever, but was definitely not the best.

Maybe you could try freeze-spray. As an added bonus it is even highly flammable, so after freezing the nest, you put fire to it, and it should go up in a fire-ball...

Pics of the output? Interested in color and pattern.
Thanks for the Amazon links.
 
@roemer7 — Whoa, where’d you get new glass ones? Thought those were NLA, having been superseded by a part no. with plastic lenses....

Road trip from Atlanta to Virginia Beach.

ALL HAIL GERRY! 👸 Spinning 34s at 75-80 on stock gearing for 9 hours and pulling some crazy mileage. *

*Realistically, I was finding 16.5 mpg calculating at the pump. But don't tell the truck that.

Even 16.5MPG would be great! Who's Gerry?!
