I had a similar problem with my '96 Caravan (proud owner of a '04 Pacifica now!). The headlights on my Caravan were SO hazy I was afraid to drive at night. I thought I would have to replace both headlamps which, unfortunately, was over $120! Went to Checker Autoparts and they have a headlight restorer creme that you can rub over your lenses. It costs around $8 ($5.99 on sale). It instantly took the haze off of the lenses, making them in near new condition! Unbelievable! My son tried it on his "96 Mustang and it worked just as well.
I still don't understand why they got so hazy in the first place--my car was garaged most of the time.

Thanks.... I found their web page (http://www.myheadlight.com). They say they sell at Walmart. I'll try to check them out.
Thanks again....

Down here in Texas, I usually see "hazy lenses" in conjunction with a car that is left outside in the hot sun repeatedly......since yours was garaged, I dunno about that one.
I guess it is possible , if you used the wrong cleaner repeatedly, or lousy carwashes, to "cloud" the lens chemically, I have never read much on the care of these things one way or another.........

Put key remote through washer?

Is it a goner? I will test it in the morning, but just discovered I left my key remote fob in my pants pocket and ran it through the washer tonight. I discover it when I went to take the pants out and put in dryer . If it is a goner, how much is a new one likely to run me? thanks!

Thanks! I tried it the next morning, and it worked fine, doesn't appear to be any residual damage! ( Thank goodness, as it was MY key and my husband's 300 key -- and I don't have an extra 300.00 around to replace the 2 keys!)

I have read in other posts that you can order another key/remote fob via sites like ebay and program them yourself for much less than $130. The catch is this: you have to have BOTH original fobs to program a 3rd, for security reasons. So, you can't wait until you lose one to do it.
You can even get a "valet or car repair" key for even cheaper, using this "extra" key for those situations.......

I purchased an extra key set from ebay as it was a lot cheaper than going through the dealer. I just ordered a replacement key and reprogrammed it myself using the instructions provided (very easy). The remotes are also more expensive (but cheaper than $130). I figured I would rather have a working key without the remote than shell out that amount of $$$ for a remote replacement. Glad your remote survived the washer, though!!

Resale value of 2006 Pacifica Touring

I tried to exchange my 2006 Pacifica Touring (with 26 U package -rear sensor, power lift gate, adj. pedals, etc) with a Honda Odyssey (as they r having 3500 below invoice clearance). The dealer offered by $13K!!! I had paid 31K for it. I only have 15K miles on it.
Well I will be keeping my Pacifica and cribbing about it's difficulties when towing more than 4 passengers for a few more years.
In long dirves (>30mins), adults can't sit in the 3rd row. And it's impossible to keep infant seat in the third row. What was I thinking buying Pacifica instead of being a Van (soccer mom/dad) a few years ago!!!

I have an 07 base Pacifica as a company fleet car. It's being replaced next month, since it has 60k miles. The fleet company is offering these for sale at around $7k.
It has just about every option, but it's a base model.
