    Suspension Diagnosis

    I find the most unatractive aspect of my 98 LSC is the "busyness" telegraphed to the steering wheel. I'm still on what I believe to be original air with no problems, no clunks or other noises, corners fantastic. But going from my Toyota Avalon to the Mark, the smallest imperfection in the road...

    Mark VIII Craigslist finds!!!

    I'm only driving it one day a week. Daughter's ever growing family needs a newer dependable vehicle that will transport 7 people, so as much as I like it, what she needs overrides what I want. And when I was in Europe, I had a Volkswagen with no starter and a "sometimes" reverse. I still...

    For Those Of You With A Mark Calendar

    +1. Tried to expand web page to enlarge pictures and they get smaller. Lots of thick borders. Still like it for free, though. And beats the hell out of trying to read white letters on a dark background like some sites.

    Washer fluid motor

    Check under the car to see if the water is coming out somewhere unlikely. Chances are the tubing is broken along it's path. Mine was completely separated under the fender liner drivers side, and would leave me a puddle under there. Replaced it with silicone vacuum line. Works perfect. There...

    Visors

    I took the Homelink from a set of visors that didn't fit my car. The visor is basically a clamshell assembly that has "teeth" that hold in the fabric. There was no sewing involved, but the material itself is very fragile, and I ended up tearing it a little when stretching it during reassembly...

    Pioneer installed but no sound

    Although it's in and working fine, the cosmetics aren't good enough yet to warrant picture bragging. I'm going to pull it back out and dremel the Metra mount kit so it's a bit more flush. The reason I'm waiting to do that is because I just ordered a cradle for my iphone that I'm going to...

    Pioneer installed but no sound

    That was the fix. Even my backup camera started woriking! Thanks CCWall. Now I can actually finish running wires for the camera, GPS, and Microphone. You fixed the hard part. Who says you can't fix stupid?

    Pioneer installed but no sound

    The 98 doesn't have a power antenna. It's in the window. Edit: I think you're right! I was following instructions from another sight, and it hadit backwards. I'm going to switch those two wires and see if it makes a difference. Thnks for the headsup.

    Pioneer installed but no sound

    Soooo. I ran ground wires to frame. No change. Disconnected the positive wire at the RCA plugs to the speakers. Got sound! But also got much distortion (bass x40), and have a hum even if the volume is at zero. Also no sound from CD player, even the hum goes away when I select CD, but no...

    Pioneer installed but no sound

    I've got the right harness and it's pretty hard to screw up, but apparently not for me.

    Pioneer installed but no sound

    I know there's an audio forum, but I'm also aware a few people here have installed the same/similar stereo (X710BT). Powers up and all functions work. No sound until I pull the RCA plugs halfway apart, then they work fine. Don't really want to run new wires. I want to be able to put the...
