Dennis:
 
According to the Isuzu website:
Isuzu warranty
 
the axle seals are covered. I'd go to an Isuzu dealer, if one is close.

I got an 02 Axiom and had similar engine light issues and dealer said it's a wiring harness ($950) and it's a common problem, not sure if that's helpful but, I can say i too have smoked many of these little punks in their hondas and mitsu's and stuff, I love the look of surprise on their faces.

MP3 interface for our Axioms by k2rm

I though some people who may use there MP3 player in their axiom may be interested in this. I have been trying to find the best interface between my MP3 player and stereo for a long time.
 
I got tired of hearing the tape hiss using a cassette adapter with my MP3 player. So, I tried using an inline FM modulator which sounded horrible. I couldn't believe how badly it sounded. Just poor, poor quality.
 
I knew from taking out the head unit several times that it is made by Clarion. So, I searched the web and found a product called "PIE CLR-AUX" on cardomain. This device plugs in between the CD changer and our head unit and gives us an auxilary RCA input. You can then use a headphone to RCA cable to hook your MP3 up.
 
To use it, you push the CD button on the deck (with CD cartridge and CD in the changer) and when the MP3 player is powerd on, it overides the sound from the CD changer and plays the MP3 player. Once you turn off the MP3 player, it goes back to playing the CD. The only downside is that the head unit thinks it is playing a CD, so it will continue playing the CD. That means that there will be a short pause when the CD swithces to another disk. No big deal if you just hit the repeat button.
 
I installed mine yesterday and it worked amazingly well. I now have CD clarity sound from my MP3 player. Much better than any FM transmitter or cassette adapter I have tried.
 
Finally, I can play my MP3 music with the sound quality they were meant to be heard in!
 
Hope this may help someone else.

'02 4WD S model trade-in by grn95

Considering trading the '02 in soon, anyone traded in theirs lately? The trade in values I have looked up are not where an MSRP $30k SUV should be.... Curious as to what people have experienced on trade in. Not looking forward to the old haggle game again. Thanks

I happened to drive past a dealer the other day that had an '02 for sale. The price flashing up on the marquee was $9900 or thereabouts.
 
The resale value on these has never been great--I plan to drive mine into the ground.

How hard is this to hook up behind the dash? I'm a little leery of messing something up back there. I'd like to hook this up for my XM Roady unit, which gets much worse signal on its FM modulator in my Axiom than in my Altima.

Its really easy. You don't have to even supply the device with power since it gets it from the CD changer wiring. You simply unplug the CD changer cable that goes into the head unit. Plug the output cable of the device into the head unit. Finally, connect the input cable of the device to the stock CD changer cable. No cutting or splicing of wires since the plugs are the same kind as the stock unit. I did the entire job in about 20 minutes. Let me know if you need directions on removing the deck.
 
I bought a dash mountable headphone jack that I installed just above the auxillary power port and hooked it up to the RCA inputs of the device. Now, I just need to connect a headphone to headphone cable between my MP3 player and the headphone jack.
 
Good luck!

Reprogramming '02 Axiom Stereo by mjax1

Ok, guys. I'm geting a little desperate here. My brother says this can be done at home, but I'm not sure, so I thought I'd ask. I hate paying the dealer...
 
My stereo will not work AT ALL after the battery in my Ax died. I think you just need to pull out a fuse and leave it out for a certain amount of time in order to reset it, but I'm not sure.
 
Anyone done this or have any information on it? All help is appreciated!

I just thought I would share my thoughts on the CLR-AUX adapter. I bought one so that I could hookup Sirius. After I installed I started getting a scratching, static sound when I first turned on my radio. I also noticed that my radio would be off when I started my car, even if I left it on when I turned my car off. The sound from the satellite radio was better than using an FM modulator but it was significantly lower in volume. This could have been due to my satellite receiver. Anwyay...I uninstalled the device and the stereo is back to normal operation. I've been trying to find another way to gain the auxillary input but no luck unless I want to replace the whole unit. (Major customizing)
Did you experience any of these symptoms? My next project is to replace all of the oem speakers and install aftermakret amps for a better sound.

No, I haven't had those symptoms. No crackling or weird on/off of the stereo. The volume is lower than the cd, but turning up the volume makes up for that. When you installed yours, did you install it at the deck or at the CD changer? It is supposed to be at the deck.
 
Yours may be defective. Sorry to hear that.
