    Lee it looks like your lights are aimed too high. From what I understand it can cause the light to be broken into all its primary colors. ;)

    Well today I took Checkers in for the annual check up on the ceramic coating I had installed. The (life time) warranty requires it. When they looked at the car they said they would wash it and see the condition of the paint was. I told me it was in great shape and didn't need to be reapplied. The wash cost me a lot but they did an unbelievable job. They washed the outside , wheels and vacuumed the inside better than I do.

    Thanks for the pictures. Does the vacuum attachment work well on keeping all the dust sucked away?

    You did a job well done, polishing the engine bay of this car.

    Yes the freeways have become a free for all. Like you said go the speed limit & get run over. As far as cops doing anything, our state patrol will pull an idiot driver over on the interstates out of town. In town no way. The local police don't bother, they are just phoning it in these days. Can't say that I blame them. What a terrible job to have.

    Cars running red lights & stop signs. I see it every time I'm out. So many people looking at their farking phones it's just nuts. Be careful out there.

    Well I finally received the reset of my parts installed and buttoned up yesterday. Hooked up the battery no love. Had it tested today and the said it was , tried charging it, got low readings and it was losing a charge just sitting there. Sucked it up and bought a new one, hooked it up no love. Starting to get a little irritated. Anyone have any ideas?

    Possibly. If there was room I’d try applying some voltage to the starter and see but there is no room to run a jumper cable up in there

    Last thing I know is maybe the BCM and ECU are out of time.

    If this was the case I assume a repair shop would be in order.

    Yes. But I think you will find the problem. I think its rare they get out of time . @00Mini is right about testing the clutch switch to eliminate it.

    Nice job in finding the problem and then repairing it for only a few dollars. :Thumbsup::Thumbsup:
