Yup, that did it. Thanks. Getting the old one out was a bit of a PITA though.- Kingfish

A/C fan switch inop
Thanks. I looked up RU1040 on 1AAuto.com but nothing showed up. So that part for the Sebring is a plug & play replacement?- Kingfish

A/C fan switch inop
The fan switch on my '03 only works in position 3 and 4. 1 and 2 are dead and don't turn on the A/C or move any air thru the vents. Is this just a matter of replacing the switch because the contacts might be bad?- Kingfish

06 jeep liberty Tailgate won't open
I'm having the same issue with my wife's 03. The outer handle unlatches the glass but won't open the door. Were you able to fix the problem? -

Headlight relay?
The problem had gone away for a while, but is back. The other night the headlights shut off for 2-3 seconds on the highway. The problem is sporadic, so swapping relays on the JB might not identify the problem right away. What/where is the multifunction switch?- Kingfish

Rod knock?
My wife's car doesn't have that cap. Anyway, an update... The issue was a vacuum hose (pcv?) and the noise was from a lifter (or two). Once that was replaced the top-end noise went away.- Kingfish

Trans pan/lines replacement
My wife's 03 has a drippy trans pan and cooling lines. The tech showed me the spots where it's rotting so I bought OEM replacements to do the job meself. Is there a sticky somewhere detailing replacing the trans pan and lines? I've seen a You Tube video, and it seems pretty straightforward but...- Kingfish

Rod knock?
Sure, but why does the tap go away when the engine's warmed up?- Kingfish

Rod knock?
IBD. The last oil change was done by a garage and I just assumed they used 10 weight. It's due for its next change, so will look into a full syn 5W-30. But what about the syn oil might make a difference in the noise?- Kingfish

Rod knock?
10W-30 dino, and it's got 110k. In CT so the sub-freezing temps haven't happened yet.- Kingfish

Rod knock?
My wife's 03 has what sounds like a slight rod knock when cold, but when the engine warms up the noise goes away. Oil level is normal. Is it possible this is a valvetrain noise? Can't figure out why it'd be temp dependent though.- Kingfish

Headlight relay?
So there's a low and high beam relay then. Are these common replacement items?- Kingfish

Headlight relay?
Howdy All, My wife's '03 has an intermittent issue where the headlights will blink off for a second or two then come back on. The flicking on & off is accompanied by a clicking sound in the dash that sounds like a relay cycling. Is there a relay for the headlights that might be on its way out?- Kingfish

Lack of heat in an '03
I don't know if this counts as fancy, but I have a pump that attaches to an electric drill that I can attach hoses to. I can add as much cleaner as possible then just circulate it ad nauseum through the core until flushing it out with clean water.- Kingfish

Lack of heat in an '03
This is what I'm hoping for. Flushing one direction then reversing the hoses and back-flushing might dislodge something and restore circulation. Tomorrow's project. Might take a look at the Prestone flush kit.- Kingfish
