That's the main reason why I haven't taken mine in. I just can't stand being lied to, and I know they can probably fix whatever it is with a simple computer reflash.
Thanks,

Preliminary checks,
1) Fuel filter
1.5) Air filter
2) Spark plugs
3) PCV valve
4) Fuel pump
5) Fuel injectors
6) Key transponder/ignition receiver (<--very long shot with those)

You can take it to a mechanic and get ripped off for $100+ or you can do it yourself for less than $30. The refrigerant is relatively inexpensive. It's the filler hose that'll cost ya.
One thing I forgot to mention; you need to turn that little can of refrigerant upside down in order for it to flow into the compressor.
During daylight
-With no warning, all interior dashboard lights, radio lights etc dim as though the
head lights were being turned on, with a clicking noise of headlights being turned on.
All this regardless of being still, parked, moving, hitting road bumps, turning the wheel. In other words, no obvious pattern exists.
-In fact, the headlights are flashing on and off in an intermittent, irregular rhythm.
-Adjusting the light reastat and switching from auto to off, appears to have no impact
-Sometimes when the car is in the garage, the lights come on in this same erratic, irregular fashion. (have video)
-Local dealer is unaware(?) of this being a 300M problem and cannot duplicate it.
Is this what I have read as the "light show"?
-Is this a risk for damage, particularly electrical fire?
-Can this be permanently fixed and how?
Thanks,
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and my even bigger wonder is did I buy someone elses headache?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you for the advice.
Windows are currently stuck down, swapping fuse/relay didn't fix. It never affects just one window, it's always all 4.
Anyone have an idea what this could be?
miles on it . I now have a cooling system full of tranny fluid , but no coolant in the tranny,
I think the line in radiator has broke. Has any one else had this problem???. My wife bought a new radiator local, I see there is a koyo & samsung radiator which one is correct?, or are they both the same?. I have not seen it yet, (this weekends project.)
I have been through rotation and balancing. I know I need to check for broken steel belts in tires.

But what does it mean when the "MAGNET" doesn't fall to the ground when you let it go but only "gently" clings to certain outer areas of the body (unlike the intense "pull" that is evident when the "MAGNET" comes in contact with the steel sections of the car that are still in original factory form?)
Is this "half-hearted" connection the result of areas where the exterior finish has been applied particularily thick or could it also be an indication of minor body filler/plastic derivative that has been applied for whatever reason?
(If so, what possible reasons are there for using such a minimal amount of body filler or plastic derivative and what kind of repair would that probably be?)
I think my AC clutch is bad. Making a whirring sound that goes up and down with the RPM's of the engine. I have never worked on AC components before and i am wondering how to figure out if the clutch is in fact the problem and is this something I could fix myself?
Any input would be greatly apprec.
