    How to diagnose rear wiper issue and front end clunking noise.

    Thanks man. I've been reading on the Forum, and you're right. I should try getting the bolt off first. Plus this way I can see if it came lose, or if the plastic road wore down where it connects to the arm.. Thanks a lot for the price's..

    How to diagnose rear wiper issue and front end clunking noise.

    Wow! This is funny! Same thing happened but it was my fault. I bought a new blade a while back and it didn't fit correctly causing the arm to stop moving when the blade loosened on the arm.. Probably overheated. I'm assuming I'll have to replace the motor. Can anyone tell me how much money...

    How to: Replacing A/C Control Panel LEDs

    Note: If Backlight goes out on your protege5 (mine is 2003.5) the backlights are not LED's. They are a replacement bulb that fits into a push and twist socket. You must remove the bulb and bring it into a car parts store. It should be a 2721 instrument/courtesy bulb. 12V. Total time without...

    Stock Tint?

    I've given up searching the web. Does the 03 Protege5's have any stock tint? I can't even notice it if there is. I've been to 2 places where the guy tells me that there is already 30% STOCK tint on the windows. I live in New York and that the MAX legal tint. I want to get some, but I don't...

    That Damn Fuel Gauge..

    Well zverg was right. I'm starting too see it rise a bit more. After driving it about 50 miles or so. I think the sending unit wasn't used to the decrease in fuel, since I never let it go below 1/2 tank. And when it did, the "bobber" (whatever) took some more time rising. Thanks to all who...

    That Damn Fuel Gauge..

    nope, not on a hill. I actually used enough gas yesterday to drop it to 1/4 of a tank. It's first time, since I purchased the car. Usually it was always a half tank and over. No change when driving a while. When I filled it up yesterday I drove for another 20 minutes, and no change. Then I...
