AIR RIDE COMPRESSOR RUNNING (shut off the switch in the trunk, driver's side wall)
aftermarket radios (spliced wires makes all of this moot)
aftermarket alarm systems (spliced wires makes all of this moot)
aftermarket HID fog lights (you get the picture)
coins stuck in one of the three cigarette lighters (thanks NYC LSC)
BAD KEY CYLINDER IGNITION SWITCH (not ingition switch)
