After you reset the lights, they are only supposed to be on when you turn on the ignition and go out after you started the engine. I guess, since this has not happened to me yet either that the lights are coming on as you drive miles on it. I just recently found the instructions that tell you how to...

Sure wish you the best of luck! I also bet that your future wife will be just like my, after 26 years wife who calls "Fritz" a rattle trap. From the way it sounds your trap is even bigger than mine as far as the rattles are concerned. Neither here nor there; nothing beats driving a shark.

In all seriousness, maybe it is the altitute? On the lighter side, sorry to hear that you are in Pueblo.... I guess that must be that new facility where I almost got the job as the Facility/Security Manager.

Is this normal?

Put the rear wheel back on on Saturday and noticed that there is some "play" in the rear wheel when I put the bolts back in and tightened them up. Is that normal or what is broken?

still looking? I have a couple of front seats that I took out of a 6er which may still have the part but I can also not see your picture you posted. If you are still looking for the parts please send me a picture.

Yes, "Fritz" hates me too! Seems like they do have a mind of their own. Everytime I take the Saturn or ride with my wife, Fritz actually pouts and rewards me by not starting like this morning. Strange thing is that all the lights come on and he will not crank. When he gets a jumper cable o...

Chris, thanks again! I do have the CD also but could not find any mention in there. I do have the handicap with my computer since I have Vista :roll: and the CD requires Adobe 4.0 (nothing higher) and this disables the search function. I came up to the point where I am thinking that the four shear o...

Shear off screws

From the way it looks, Chris is right. I do not see any reason why the 4 shear off screws should be replaced. Once I got #5 out and I turned the key from the locked to the unlocked position, I could slide the cylinder right out. The next question I have is how do I get the rest out? Does that wire h...

Shear off screws

Chris,
so #5 and #6 are the only things that hold that tumbler in place? In other words, if I remove #5 I should be able to slide that thing out with the cables still attached?
BTW, I make sure I am taking plenty of pictures and do a good write-up.
Thanks all for the help!

I am trying to replace the ignition steering wheel lock since I got new (to me) doors with a better lock in each door and do not want to mess with the doorlocks either.

The "off part" is not what I am concerned with. It is the back on part. Do I get the replacements at the "Stealership"?

Steering gear box mount (Horizontal)

Thanks Chris! I did find the other end (of the horizontal bolt) right next to the engine mount, (duh!) Had to look with a flashlight and found out that one has to be a contortionist to get that 17 mm open end wrench to hold that nut. I know I could have used a 17 mm socket which would have made it a...
