Re: Front/Passenger Seat Removal - Torx Bit Size?

Where does the water usually get in that causes damage to the module?

Re: Front/Passenger Seat Removal - Torx Bit Size?

Thanks. I don't know that I have a leak at all, not even sure if the module is dead. I get "AIRBAG PROBLEM" scrolling on the driver info screen. The problem has come and gone a few times so just want to check for loose connections or corrosion at this point.

Re: Rough at idle & low speed

I have no idea. The original engine failed last year and so a used one went in. Came with no maintenance records. I just know it's from a cared for car. Since that time there hasn't been much use, maybe a few hundred miles. 106,000 miles on the engine.

Re: Trunk leak?

My trunk leaks also. I'm pretty sure it gets in around the power antenna as the drain tube keeps slipping off. Take a look and make sure it's not that.

Rough at idle & low speed

The past week I've noticed sometimes on start up the car runs rough, shakes a little, like a "put put put" sound. On pick-up it does it too, but around 40-50mph it stops and runs as normal. There are no warning lights or anything glowing. I do know there is a hole in the muffler that has been ...

Re: How to test the BCM

Yes, you have a BCM (Blower Control Module) if you have Digital Electronic Climate Control. It looks like this:

I'm unaware of any way to test though, but it does seem strange that 8 of them would be dead and dead in such a way to cause ...

How to clean up yellow lenses???

Anyone know anything that will clean up the yellow-ish color film that sometimes builds up on plastic lenses? My corner lamps are pretty nasty looking. The headlights are crystal clear but the corners look frosted and dirty-yellow. Any advice? Read about WD-40 or AJAX doing it but I'm not sure...

UPDATE: The problem wasn't the motor. It was the master switch on the driver side. Replaced it and everything works as it should.

Re: 92-99 Power Window Replacement - How-To/Step By Step?

Today I pulled the door panel and motor. Leaving the motor plugged in I tried the switch and it worked, but only in one switch direction - UP. I guess it still has to be replaced, there's nothing I can do with it?

Re: 92-99 Power Window Replacement - How-To/Step By Step?

Are the motors held in with bolts or some kind of rivets that will need to be drilled?
