I cannot find the process to check the codes despite searching, and afaik, autozone doesn't do it for free anymore? can someone far more intelligent than I am drop a link or the process to check the codes myself?

anyone know of a Metro Detroit area shop that can do this? I have a tire losing air and I'm worried it might be the same thing. Just had the tire replaced and it's still going flat, about to head back to discount tire and have them check the rim.

thanks for the heads up, it's an '03, its motorized and I think heated?

Apparently someone stole my rearview mirror? It looks like the wiring was cut, and it's just gone. I haven't driven in a few days and when I went outside to clean the snow off -- it was gone. it's not on the ground anywhere and I know it was there the last time I drove. why the hell...

definitely kleen

the battery tested out low, so I swapped it with a good one, but I'm still getting the volume going up/down on the stereo. alternator seems to be working properly. the car is still starting at the moment, but I have no idea what might be going on now. if I turn the stereo off/on, the volume...

a couple pics, mostly from last summer. reminds me, I need to clean my rims.

put the battery back in, suddenly my features work and the car started. I'm pretty sure this is the original battery and its about at the end of its lifespan so that should be it. off to the dealership then

nah it's out on the patio, I'm dumb, i ain't stupid.

ok, I brought the battery inside, I have a plug in charger (unfortunately nowhere I can plug in near the car in my apartment parking lot), it checked the voltage and read about 10 volts when I plugged it in. I've put it on the charger and it seems to be charging, I'll probably see if I can get...

VICTORY. I finally got that :q:q:q:qing rod unscrewed. I was trying to do with w/ a regular wrench cuz I couldn't find my small socket wrench. finally found a completely unopened socket wrench and put some leverage on that bitch. now to get the batter over to autozone for testing at the...

you know what, I tried unscrewing that with my screwdriver w/ a hex head on it, but couldn't get enough leverage, I'll try again with a wrench. I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing and didn't want to break it.

??? I'm completely confused at what I'm supposed to be doing to get this thing off.

apathy - how'd you get the battery out? I must be missing something really obvious to get that pol off. it runs right over the middle of the batter and screw to tyhe frame on the right, then there are two poles on the left. I just can't figure out what I'm supposed to do to get it off.

ok, I must be a moron because I can't figure out how to get that rod that goes over the battery off. I unscrewed the little knob on the left but then what? am I supposed to squeeze those two poles together, or pull thme apart, or what?
