    Maintenance light

    Neither they nor I could find it in the 2005 owners manual. Can you recall the procedure?

    Maintenance light

    I had my oil changed at NTB and they were unable to reset the maintenance light. Is this a dealer item or can anyone help me with how to reset the light. Thanks.

    05 VVTi V8 motor surging

    Surge My 05 V8 surges mostly at idle, ranges from 500-800. Have to keep the foot solidly on the brake or you may have contact! Definitely not like any other car I have driven. Dealer blamed it on the AC - "normal". I say crock as well. My car produces the dreaded rotten egg stink. Overall...

    Surging at idle

    The problem has not gone away. Scheduled for dealer on Tuesday. RPMs will drop to 500 at stop then increase to 800 range. You need to be very attentive to the brake or the "creep" can cause problems. This is definitely NOT RIGHT and unlike any other vehicle I have had.

    NEED Wiring help

    I had to visit three different auto-parts stores before I found it. I can't remember whether it was Advanced Auto-Parts or O'Reilly. Very simple to install.

    NEED Wiring help

    Works fine Loose wire, now fully operational. I think the mini blade fuse "add a circuit" is great.

    Surging at idle

    My 2005 T4R Limited now has 4k miles. Since new, it occasionally surges between 600 and 800 rpm at idle. This does not correlate with AC or any other intermittent load. This may not seem like much but nearly pushed me into the car in front of me as I was paying less than complete attention at...

    SOLUTION: 4th gen Personal (aka Map) Light mod

    Finished the install tonight. Only problem was getting contact from the middle wire in the ribbon cable. The 2005 T4R Limited has two ribbon cables, one with two wires, one with three wires. Both are white with blue stripes. The two wire version was most evident. Had to dig a while to find...

    My thoughts on new T4R

    Interesting to note the instant responses from members of the board who: fail to recognize the initial good words said about the new vehicle which I do like and enjoy seem unable to comprehend or accept any critical thought about design or implementation of said vehicle. I encourage review of...

    My thoughts on new T4R

    2 weeks, 1000 miles: Handles great, good engine performance. No quality defects to date. Interior lighting - F, overdash personal lights should light with door opening. I am working on the install to fix this. My radio and heating displays are slightly different color in daylight and at...
