Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    radiator fan relay problem

    I have a '08 GP, standard except for aftermarket radio. 106k miles, runs fine. Heater puts out some heat but not as much as other cars I've had - this could be relevant to the problem. Engine light came on last week. Went to auto zone, problem code said cooling fan relay #2. Fan has 3...

    Bumper inlay decals

    Replaced the OEM radio in '08 and....

    I put in an aftermarket stereo with USB and SD slots. I used the "Metra" brand adapter harness with door chimes to keep everything working right. The clock and date don't appear on the HUD anymore, but the aftermarket radio has the time on it. The original radio has been sitting around for...
