Replying to: ateixeira (May 12, 2008 5:05 pm) If I remember the '09 Manual right, the AWD light comes on when the fuse is inserted. The fuse insertion procedure is outlined in the '09 Manual.    AWD light is basically saying something is wrong with the AWD, or that it has been switched off by the fuse insertion.   AWD does light up during startup and instrument sweep check.

Replying to: ateixeira (May 12, 2008 5:05 pm) You are absolutely correct. The AWD light means the AWD system is disengaged and in FWD mode. I looked in my owners manual, to put the car in FWD mode there is a special socket in the engine compartment. (This is for ATs only) Replies to this message: sgloon (May 12, 2008 8:56 pm)
#1282 of 3658 Re: Best SUV/CUV for $25k New or Used [skeleton] by kdshapiro May 12, 2008 (5:57 pm)
Replying to: skeleton (May 12, 2008 5:32 pm) The best bang for the buck are low mileage vehicles about 1 year old. The hit has already been taken on the depreciation.   If the question is however: "I want to spend $25K and show me all the ways I can spend $25K". You can have a field day, lots of new and used choices. I personally don't like picking up peoples used vehicles and always buy new. In addition, I wouldn't buy a used vehicle where I wouldn't buy the same vehicle new. Replies to this message: sgloon (May 13, 2008 9:15 am)

Replying to: sgloon (May 11, 2008 9:04 pm) I saw someone else on a diff forum use 303 protectant, where can I get this and is it safe to use on the dash? Replies to this message: sgloon (May 12, 2008 8:23 pm) phdhusky (May 13, 2008 5:51 pm) bigfrank3 (May 13, 2008 9:41 am)

Replying to: phdhusky (May 12, 2008 6:58 pm) Where to Buy: http://www.wheretobuy303.com/   I can't recommend per se, especially as I don't know what material the dash is made out of... However, from the back of the bottle it lists interior and exterior of vehicles: vinyl & leather interiors, plastic bumpers, fender flares, trim and lenses, car bras, tonneau covers, vinyl soft tops & plastic windows, chrome & alloy wheels.   There is more listed on the bottle, including many non automotive uses.   all you have to do is spray on and wipe dry. I do it once or max twice a year on my boat, and that is plenty. The UV protection is great. And it repels dust, soiling and staining. I have used it on a bunch of other stuff and it works great.

Replying to: tkay (May 12, 2008 2:05 am) I just paid $3.45/gal credit card and I thought it had gone up a lot! I guess not the max.

Replying to: kdshapiro (May 12, 2008 5:48 pm) Does this mean that we can put the fuse in when we don't need or want the AWD? Would this give us better gas mileage when we don't need the AWD? sounds like a good idea, if it would not damage anything. Does anyone know if it is OK to run with the fuse in (FWD) most of the time? Or until we need the AWD? Is there anything that we could damage by doing this???

Replying to: phdhusky (May 11, 2008 7:49 pm) Phdhusky, I scanned the 303 website and they make their own version of scotch guard as well, 303 High Tech Fabric Guard. I have used their shower guard, and that works well. The 303 fabric guard has UV protection as well. Cheaper than having the dealer do something for you... The only thing I'm thinking of for someone else to install along the protection line is the "hood bra". But it is $200+. Still debating.
