#2737 of 3244 body trim for driver side doors by havehadit Oct 25, 2005 (12:03 pm)
My 2000 Grand Marquis was recently clipped by a 18-wheeler in downtown Birmingham. His rear trailer tires took off the driver side mirror and left rubber marks the length of the car. I found a replacement mirror but am having a problem locating the chrome strips for moulding on both doors. Does anyone know some web sites where I might locate these? I would appreciate it.

Replying to: joe3716 (Oct 24, 2005 7:24 pm) My '99 Sable had the same stalling problem, and the fix was the same.   I'm in MI, and the dark blue GM color fools drivers into thinking I'm a State Trooper. I like the color, but think I'll choose another next time.

Replying to: havehadit (Oct 25, 2005 12:03 pm) If you haven't tried salvage yards, look there first. Most are now hooked into a teletype sort of group and can locate them for you from far away places, then have them shipped to your local yard. Two caveats: 1) make sure you can refuse to accept them if, upon seeing them, they are damaged or not exactly like yours, and 2) get an agreed price before you send for them. Good luck!

Seeing how the exterior has not changed since 1998, used parts are plentiful, and easy to obtain, especially with all the law enforcement vehicles being junked.
#2741 of 3244 check engine light by heart2 Oct 28, 2005 (3:34 pm)
"98 GM with 92K miles very well maintained. CEL steadily on for last week. Car running fine. Anyone know what is most likely bad part before I go to dealer for diag. test as it is out of all warranties? Replies to this message: jefferyg (Oct 28, 2005 7:33 pm) euphonium (Oct 28, 2005 8:04 pm)

Replying to: heart2 (Oct 28, 2005 3:34 pm) Check your gas cap first. If it's loose it may be causing it to come on. There are 1001 things that can cause the check engine light to come on in any car and most are not serious problems to fix.

Replying to: heart2 (Oct 28, 2005 3:34 pm) You might check the coolant level when it's cold. Could be an 02 sensor. If it's not running rough, it isn't too expensive to fix.

#2745 of 3244 Tire Pressure by jsylvester Nov 01, 2005 (8:36 pm)
I go by what is on the tire itself, but usually drop 5 lbs or so off of it's max pressure, unless you still have the original tires from the factory.   Congrats on the purchase - gas prices have made them even better deals.
#2746 of 3244 Re: reading the codes for airbag flashing light [larrrya] by ragdollgirl Nov 02, 2005 (9:04 am)
Replying to: larrrya (Oct 21, 2005 3:15 pm) I have a 1994 GM that does the same thing. No, your airbags do not work. This is code 51, which is a short in your airbag sensor wires. It may not be a cheap fix, and definitely not something to tackle yourself. I have been living with the flashing light for almost 2 years because my mechanic can't tell me how much it will cost to fix it. Could be a lot, could be a little. It all depends on how long it takes them to find the short. Once they do, they must install a new sensor, and any kind of sensor is always expensive. They said it doesn't make sense to just install a new sensor, because the short in the wires will just destroy the new sensor. They must find and fix the short first. My car has 203k miles on it, so I haven't been willing to put out the money on this problem. I have a new Camry I drive on long trips, so the GM light just keeps flashing away. It was very annoying at first, but now I don't even notice it.
