#1837 of 1866 2001 Tribute hard to start on cold days by famleof5

Feb 19, 2008 (8:36 pm)

I have a 2001 tribute - If it sits outside on "cold days" for 8 hours it is hard to start. I have to depress the gas pedal 3 or 4 times befor it finaly starts? Only does it on very cold days 20 degrees or lower and only does it after it sits for about 8 hours?

Wife and I have an 04 Tribute V6 loaded with leather, sunroof all the bells and whistles. We now have about 50,000 trouble free miles on this vehicle. We use it, or should I say, I use it as an SUV and not just a station wagon. It tows our water craft, visits the Cascade range for skiing and finding fishing spots. Great little SUV! very reliable. Time for tires however, the Continentals are ready for change out. I had some preventative maintenance done at a cost of about $275. I had the transmission flushed, brake fluid flush, steering flushed. Tribute runs like a champ and has proven to be very reliable! I would highly reccommend..

#1841 of 1866 Tribute 6-disc jammed by mkl2209

May 12, 2008 (11:44 am)

My grandson apparently ram-loaded a CD into the factory in-dash 6-disc unit of my '02 Tribute. Pushing the eject button brings about a 6-7 second delay (while displaying OUT), then the unit shuts off. Pushing the load button only displays "WAIT" (the part he didn't grasp at age 5!), then shuts off the unit.
 
Anyone have any tricks to release the CD's inside, or ever run into this predicament??

The tricks mostly work with single disc CD players, but you don't have anything to lose before going to the dealer or local audio shop.

Let us know if pulling the fuse or anything else works.
 
btw, I deleted your duplicate posts - owners tend to read all the new posts in various discussions anyway.

#1845 of 1866 AC won't disengage by timroxx

I have an 05 tribute and the ac won't disengage. I push the button and push the button and nothing happens! If I HOLD the button it goes off, but as soon as i release it, it comes back on. Very frustrating in the wintertime. I just found this forum and you guys are great! Any ideas??

#1846 of 1866 Replace License Plate Light on '03 by carts

Jul 08, 2008 (8:15 pm)

I have a 2003 Tribute. Today during an oil change they informed me my left license plate light was out and that they would replace it for $12.95. Thinking it was not rocket science and that the price was outrageous, I declined. After I left I pulled into our local auto parts store and purchased two bulbs for $1.99. Easy, right? Not so...I cannot remove the cover from the bulb to get to it. I pulled out my Owner's Manual and it gives directions to remove two screws. However, my '03 does not have them. I guess the directions were not updated for that part, The lamps are covered by a plastic piece that has an arrow, indicating you might slide it to remove? I slid it, but cannot get it off. At the risk of breaking something, or being forced to pay $13, can someone give me a tip on how to take care of this? I'm no mechanic, but it sure seems like I should be able to do this. Any help would be great! Thanks. Diane
