Yeah. I know. I am just focusing on the shift boot now. The rest I can find when I do.
The boot as in the leather part that is easily destroyed like mine? I thought I saw a guy floating around the forum that actually can make one by hand...I don't know his name though or if he's still active
So ever since I got my car about 3 years ago, I heard a rattle which I think I have identified to be my throwout bearing. When I tap on the clutch or push it all the way down the rattle goes away completely. Over the years the rattle has gotten significantly worse. It's much louder and faster. Along with that issue, I find it hard to shift sometimes. Sometimes it's hard to go into first, and it always grinds into reverse, so I'll go from first to reverse to avoid the grind. When doing this it hangs up about 3 times and won't go into the reverse gear. Also, when I shift into any gear, almost 90% of the time there's a grab just before it goes fully into a gear. Ideas?
Okay, I'm going to give better details on this. The inside of the trunk lid has water that is puddled up on it. The carpet in my trunk is totally dry but the items UNDER the trunk lid got damaged. Any item that was around the trunk lid or behind it (closer to the cabin) is totally dry. I had a couple tools, tire iron and my speakers that don't have a drop of moisture on them. I'm getting the window trim taken off hopefully next weekend to get things checked out.
The light is controlled by a warning module. The inputs to the module are the fuel gauge sender and the 5 volts from the instrument cluster IVR. The only thing I can think of that may have a sound would be the IVR. The IVR 5 volts also goes to the fuel gauge, the temp gauge and the oil pressure gauge. Do these gauges behave funny when the light is blinking?
These other gauges don't behave funny when my light is flickering, it all acts normal.
Hmm...I don't think it's remotely that bad of a leak. All the moisture collects on the inside of the trunk lid and that's it. There's also a piece of trim loose that needs to be reattached. I found that every item I had behind my trunk lid stayed perfectly dry...
My trunk does have that earthy smell :/ how much would it cost to get that trim pulled? I'm very inexperienced and I don't have any ability with funky body work like that. Hopefully it isn't window work and I can just fix some rust and that's it. What did you do to get your problem fixed?
Hey guys, I'm having a similar problem but with the "Low Fuel" light. Except with mine, the light flickers on and off sometimes and I can hear the flickering. It stays on even after refueling
Dang...are you sure it's fungus or mold? Like I said, the white film only shows up when I get in the car on a rainy day, otherwise nothing enters the car. My carpet is absolutely dry except places where water will drip from condensation that builds on the inside of the trunk lid. I'm going to get someone to help me take apart the trim and look though. I don't think it's anything that is really harming my car interior because there is 0 damage or moisture anywhere inside the cabin except that bit of film that builds up when I get in the car on a wet day.
I talked to a shop about checking the window seal. I want some clarification. No moisture builds up on uber rainy, humid Washington days, but it gets incredibly fogged in the back ONLY once I get in. It's been a year since the rear window was puddled up. I'm more thinking it could be the weatherstripping or cancer under the window trim. I've highly been delaying this because of school. It's odd, because I had some items in my trunk and they got completely destroyed (boxes, papers) but the carpet remains dry...I couldn't call it wet, barely damp even. There is a mounting pin broken on my side trim; I covered the hole but only with tape. Not sure how much moisture that would let in, if it could be enough to get a weird white film on my spare tire and destroy what I said was destroyed.
I'll try what a friend told me. Get another friend I can trust, I get in the car with a light and watch for drips as they hose off the car. I'm seriously leaning toward weather stripping or around the window or under the window trim though. There's no rust anywhere else around the trunk. The only rust there is, is on the corners of my trunk towards the tail end, which as I can tell, won't cause leaking because it's outside of the trunk space
Kind of wish I had paid better attention to how I tore apart my glove compartment to get to my fan. Now I can't remember how to put the back together. Help?
