Looks like the '02 Axiom is on the Cash for Clunkers list....
 
Cash for Clunkers Eligible Vehicles
 
A National "Clunker Plan" - Good or Bad Idea?

Thanks for the all the condolensces...
 
I already looked into the Cash for Clunkers and I am hoping that this gets pushed through quickly. Everything I read says if you buy a car by July 1st, however thats 8 days from now and who knows how long it will take any dealer to get their systems setup to accept this payment.
 
Just had AAA bring the car back to my house and it's sitting in our garage now. It's such a dam shame because everything else in the car works great (CD changer etc) and body is in great shape. I will call the local junkyard and see what they will offer for the car since it's worth far more in parts. I know the tax donations only allow $500 unless you can prove it was re-sold which won't happen.
 
Let me see what happens with insurance and the clunker law before I start selling off the parts.

The rumors I hear are that it's going to take 30 days for the clunker regulations to get put in place so I'm thinking the dealers won't be set to go until early August. Probably about the same time as GM leaves Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
 
I haven't seen anything firm about buy now, get voucher money later. I've been having trouble trying to keep up with all the C4C stuff though.
 
Letting the Axiom sit isn't going to hurt anything, but if you have to sit for ~6 weeks. That's not going to work. Maybe a long term rent-a-wreck rental?

Try going to http://www.myisuzuparts.com/
 
Put in year and Axiom then try maintenance parts and you will find a parts diagram that will help find those screws. Probably to inboard of lens under rear door seal.
 
Regards
Bert

Bert's right. It's really easy to change out. Only two screws and the whole assembly comes loose. Nothing really hidden per se.
 
I have uploaded page 1783 of the Service Manual as a single page PDF file, which has two pictures and the instructions, so you can see this for yourself:

I wouldn't bother with disconnecting the battery for a simple bulb replacement, but use your own judgement.
 
Hope that helps. This Service Manual has really paid for itself. I think I paid less than $20 for it online.

Insuance claims adjust came by this morning. Looks like he'll file for a complete total/loss for the Axiom. Great news on all fronts.
 
1. Hopefully get something like book value of $7 to $8K
2. Don't have to wait for Cash for Clunkers to kick in sometime in July
3. Gives me about $4K more towards a new car than the C4C program
 
Will have a better weekend now.

Going towards her new Mazda CX-7 to join my CX-9.

CD Changer? Do you mean the CD 6 disc holder cartridge?
I may be able to keep that from the salvage company. Reply by tonight.

Yes, I could use a replacement for my 6 disc CD changer. It mounts inside the center console under the lid. Would be happy to pay you a fair price for it, if you are sure it still works. Mine was a Clarion, yours should be too.
 
You should also be able to sell those tan mats on Ebay real easily. Anything with Isuzu in the title sells easily.
