You have to go with your gut and it's cheap insurance to change the fluid if it helps you sleep at night. I'm happy relying on the car engineers and what's in the owner's manual. Or even a reminder light. Any chance you can talk your mechanic into relocating to my neighborhood?

Replying to: joekinso (Nov 22, 2008 3:53 am) I also noticed if I push in the switch (to simulate door closed) the switch stayed in - did not come back out as would expect if the door was opened. So it appears that maybe it is corroded or stuck. Will probably just replace. Have not taken it out yet - is is just unsrew the screw - pull the switch out carefully and and disconnect?

Went to the dealer today and bought two new dome switches and changed them. Elapsed time 5 minutes each side (while drinking coffee). Total cost 8 bucks for both switches. Works like a charm (chime). Thanks Joekinso - saved me at least 100 bucks. Funny thing I would never have thought that the dome switches had anything to do with the headlight and key chimes. That is why I did not look at the door switches until Joe said to thanks |

Now that my headlight issue has been fixed.... My 04 has about 80K. When I am driving and take my foot off the pedal, I hear a very noticeable WHIRRRRING coming from the wheel areas which gets quieter as the wheels slow. It does not occur when the accelerator is depressed, only when I take my foot off to either coast or even put my foot on the break. No other performance issues that I can tell. Has been going on for about 10K miles. I took it to the dealer - they said they can absolutely hear the noise but they cannot find any problem. They thought it might be the tires, but it is strange. Had transmission oil changed - still there. Any thoughts. |
