Dodge - Stratus :: 1997 - Auto Trans Not Shifting / Total Limp Mode
I read another blog on here about stratus not shifting and decided to ask someone about my limp mode problem. A few months ago I was driving uphill when it jerked before it got into limp mode. I thought maybe the hot weather caused it(it was 95 deg). I let it sit overnight. and the next day car was fine. for about 3-4 months. Now it got into limp mode only after it goes through all the gears once only. When i come to a stop it will go into limp again. Got a 0700 and 0760 codes. My speedometer works. tach works. Basically everything works as it should.
I decided to change the ATF and filter, both speed sensors and i get the same old codes after a drive around the block. I then decided to remove the neg terminal overnight. Next day I would have no signal at the data link port. When i removed the key from the ignition my dash lights for the mileage will stay on for another 3-4 seconds before disappearing. I checked the ground wires to the PCM and TCM which are good. Fuses and relays are also good. I even swapped some of them. Still no change. 1997 stratus 2.4 auto...
Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Radio Switched From 107.3 To 107.1 While Driving
I have a 2005 GX470 with 28 k miles. Purchased in April 2005, so the original battery is just shy of 6 yrs old.
Recently, the radio has be acting funny. For example, if the radio is tuned to 107.3, left to sit over night, there is a good chance it will be tuned to 107.1 in the AM. My wife also reported that while driving to the store the other day, the radio switched from 107.3 to 107.1 out of the blue while driving.
I can assure you we're not inadvertently hitting buttons by accident or anything like that. I've also seen this scenario with other stations 105.9 to 105.7, etc, and thought this could be a strange sign the battery is becoming weak (realistically, I should have changed it a year ago anyway).
I'm not interested in having the radio pulled out or anything like that.

View 4 RepliesLexus SC430 :: 2007 - Too Much Fluid In Trans / Total 10 Cups
Raised car on jack stands. Totally level. Opened up the check cap, the one with the allen key.
5.5 cups of black fluid came out (car only has 25K miles on it).
After it finished draining from the check plug, I opened the drain plug. 4.5 cups came out.
Total of 10 cups. So it appears the trans had a little more than .5 qts too much. The shocker though is that the check plug let more than half of that drain out, so it appears tube inside the pan is defective and I'm going to have to make sure to put just the specified amount of fluid back in and hope for the best.
I'm wondering if I should just put back exactly the amount that came out which would be 2.5 qts rather than the specified 1.9 qts.
Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Headlights Come On Even When Lights Are Switched To Off
I have a 2003 Supercrew that does not have daytime running lights/automatic lights. However, when I start my truck, there's about a 2-5 second delay, I hear a relay click and my headlights come on even when the lights are switched to off. I pulled the dash apart. There is no sensor, relay or anything. Looked under the hood, there's no hint of anything for auto headlights or daytime running lights. I don't really care too much that the lights come on by themselves, especially in broad daylight. Can I get some leads on what to chase down in order to get these lights to stop coming on automatically?

I drive a 2007 Prius, I just purchased it about four months ago. Today after filling up with gas I drove about 60 miles and suddenly three lights on my dash came on. The all system light (the red triangle), the check engine light as well as the VSC or VCS what ever way it goes, my electric batter was also low on charge having only one bar(my car is not a plug in, the battery is recharged by the engine) then the car lost all boost and while pressing on the gas it was not accelerating. I pulled over and put it in park so the battery could charge. It charged to half way, however the lights stayed on.
My car then started running really rough, I am still in park at this time. I put some gas stabilizer in my tank because I thought maybe I got some bad gas. I left my car sit for about five minutes before turning it back on. All the lights were off except my check engine and my car started running normal. Then about three minutes later all the lights came back on and the car started running jerky again. When I push the gas to move I can, however I've only gone about four feet because it is running so rough.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2006 XLT - Chimes 25 Times Total About Every 20 Minutes
So I recently bought a 2006 f150 XLT with a 5.4 and of course the previous owner failed to tell me that it has an annoying beeping problem. It chimes 25 times total about every 20 minutes of the truck running, I've read the owners manual and found that it could possibly have to do with the passenger air bag.

What is this light and why is it always on for me? It's not referenced in the manuals, but I've noticed that whenever I'm in the car, it's on the entire time unless I switch my lights to DRL Off mode. When I get out and lock the doors, I think it goes off... but I'm also thinking it may have been the cause of my recent 12V battery drain.

View 1 RepliesLexus GX 2004-09 :: Right Side Windows And Auto Down Don't Work
Last week I had a strange issue after trying to install the HID lights. When driving, I noticed the autodown did not work, and the right side windows would not work from the driver door, only.
I brought the car to the vehicle and they said they did nothing, it worked when they got it. Sure enough, it was working fine when I picked it up and ever since then.
After they installed the spoiler, I noticed the same exact thing! Now putting 2 and 2 together, when I installed the HID lights, I had to remove the battery to mount the ballast and didn't think anything of it. When they installed the spoiler, they also had to disconnect and reconnect the battery.
Possibly something about reconnecting the battery is causing issues with the Auto window switch, and the window control to the right side, from the driver door.

View 7 RepliesLexus RX 2004-09 :: Auto Leveling Warning Light Coming On
The auto leveling warning light has come on a couple of time now on my daughters 04 rx330. The lights do adjust when vehicle is started so the motors are working. I assume this leaves the sensor? I will also note that the lights are operated in the "auto" mode and the warning light has come on when just the daytime running lights are on. If this sounds like a sensor issue, great, probably a fix that I can take care of. 1st question, is there a sensor front and rear? And for question #2, where is it or they located?
View 1 RepliesLexus GX 2004-09 :: Auto Windshield Wiper Malfunction - Sensor Going Bad?
My auto windshield wiper function has become real sensitive...When driving in the lightest rain or even mist, my wipers start intermittently, then go faster and faster until they are going steadily, and in medium-light rain, often go to high speed. They never did this in the past, this has recently started. I turn them off, then back on and the process repeats. The auto wiper was always wonderful in the past, but not now.
Is there some kind of adjustment for this problem? Is my windshield sensor going bad?
Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Could Not Use Auto Power Window Roll Up Or Down On Driver Side
So after 6 1/2 years, my original Panasonic battery died today morning. I used jump start to get to work and used the same method to take the car to Sears to replace with Diehard Platinum.
While driving back, after the battery replacement, I noticed that I couldn't use auto power window roll up or down on driver side (manual roll up/down worked). Other three windows won't even work. I checked the windows lock button and it wasn't in lock position.
I turned the ignition power off and turned on to ACC. Then I could able to roll driver side windows up/down in auto. However, other three windows remain nonoperational. I also noticed a small green light on the window is illuminated only for driver side.
Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Inner Taillights Won't Light Up With Headlights Switched On
I have a 2010 RX450H and recently I've noticed the inner taillights (the portion that is stuck on the boot door) fails to light up when the headlights are switched on. At times I give it a nudge and it seems to work again. I'm guessing it's a loose connector somewhere. I tried look at the boot door but couldn't figure out how to get to the taillights. Is it even worth my trouble to attempt fixing it myself or should I send it in to the dealer to have it looked it.
