I need a replacement screw for an interior area of the vehicle and was wondering the best place to do a lookup for the part number. Should I just go to the stealership and describe location or is it possible to find out myself online somewhere?

Thanks for the info. This thought had run across my mind as well. I'm going to do some extra exploratory work with a multimeter and see if 12v is going to the leads at the bottom of the receptacle, in addition to checking the fuses. I'll report my results back here, if nothing else to give...

Unfortunately, they are right about the second part. :mad:

I have a 2004 with the ashtray/lighter kit near the geat shifter that contains two 12v outlets. This has been working right for quite a while, but all of the sudden the second outlet (the one without the square cover on it) has stopped working. The other outlet in the assembly works, as...

I've heard electric seats do not have this problem. I believe somewhere in this thread it is discussed, as people were trying to replace their seats with electric in order to alleviate the problem. Unfortunately (again from what I've read), for cars without electric seats the wiring does not...

Grease your steering stops.

Re: Re: Not sure this is the same noise I really couldn't picture the steering stops causing this noise either. It really is quite an awful and alarming sound. But I went down there with a rag and some lithium grease (took about 5 minutes) and lubed them up. Problem solved. Also, if you...

Hey, I believe it. I've been going about a week strong now and haven't heard it on right turns. Interestingly enough, I haven't done the right-side steering stop and noticed a mild version on a left turn yesterday. I'm going to keep it like this for a couple weeks, and if it has completely...

I know, I said the same thing in one of my posts above. I have yet to apply the fix (this time of year is too darn busy), but I will post my results here after I've done it and tested for a couple days. One thing to keep in mind, the steering stop is A LOT smaller than it appears in the above...

Sweet. I've got a tube of lithium grease laying around, so I'll probably give that a whirl. Kind of interesting why they don't apply this at the factory. Maybe I'm the only person who likes to make hard right turns to "whip" into parking spots, but I doubt it.

Ok, you've convinced me to give it a shot. :) What type of grease did you use?

Not sure this is the same noise After reading more posts and hearing the noise again, I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. This is a really loud, almost metal popping sound on the hard right turn. It is a little difficult to describe, but it is quite loud and sounds quite alarming...

Excellent. Thanks for the info! I love this forum because I can post my random problems/annoyances and there are actually other people that have had the same problems. Absolutely amazing. This would probably take the stealership weeks to figure out. I'll check out that area on both sides...

I have a 2004 SR5 2WD. When making a fairly sharp right turn quickly into a parking spot the other day, I noticed a loud clanking sound. This was pretty much with the wheel turned all the way to the right. The sound is very hard to describe, but I can only tell you that I was very alarmed...

I am concerned about the review post on crutchfield that states the audio level is low and requires setting volume all the way up to 50 to get reasonable sound. This appears to be a strength of the PIE and a weakness of the blitzsafe and usaspec.
