Being able to put 4 bikes on the hitch installed bike rack is really great. Weekends are completely different !
Questions I have:
1) Is the pacifica wired from the dvd to headliner?
2) any diagrams online?
3) headrest lcd's vs. in the headliner
Thanks for sharing?
thanks,
abg
I was wondering if you guys knew of any good aftermarket remote start devices. I was thinking of buying a friend of mine remote start for her pacifica but dont really know if this can be done for this vehicle. I would like to get one that can function with her current keyless entry fob. Any ideas?
Any other info you could give would help out a lot. Thanks.
I wouldn't worry too much about fuel consumption, for I don't believe it will improve. It may actually get worse because you're ENJOYING the acceleration so much. Foot might get mysteriously heavy.
The engine noise changed slightly but in a good way. Gives it a muscle sound if you ask me.
I think the problem may be in the 'Recall' for the normal halogen lighting system my '05 pac came with. There is a RECALL for this. So I am going to try an experiement. I going to go back to my original halogen lights and have the recall done and then replace it again with the HID lights and see if that corrects then problem. If this doesn't work I really don't know where to turn except maybe a voltage regulator. The recall said that a faulty wiring harness is the problem so I am hoping this will work. Will post update when this is done.
Please let me know what happens after you try the recall route.
I wish I could talk to a chrysler engineer in regards to what can actually be causing this problem. But I an still inclined to believe it has something to do with voltage stablization that is not sufficient for the halogen system. If a parts list was available for a HID supplied pac versus a halogen supplied pac maybe it can be crossed referenced to see exacty which part(s) is different. That would be helpful.
I just checked my parts list and found that the two modules are indeed different.
w/HID H/Lamp:
2004 (to 10/03) — 4727987AD — $322
2004 (from 11/03) — 5082054AA — $355
w/o HID H/Lamp:
2004 (to 10/03) — 4727832AG — $322
2004 (from 11/03) — 5082053AA — $364
Maybe you could find out the detail when you go for the recall service.
Because in my research so far the only difference between the HID pac and the non HID pac was only in the actual lighting assembly. Other than that everything else was the same. But I don't think this is possible and I am missing something. If everything is self contained in the HID headlight assembly then all should work with the swap. But I think the cause is from the wiring harness from the battery/fuse to the headlight assembly itself. I am wondering if this part is different with perhaps stronger higher voltage wires.
Edit*** nevermind I see you earlier post on the part number and cost. Maybe it can be gotten cheaper on ebay or a salvage yard. Will have to do some more research here. You should do the same.
Does anyone else have this problem. The battery is otherwise good.
Car batteries are not designed to be fully discharged and re charged. There are special Deep Cycle batteries for that application. Fully discharging a normal car battery will damage the battery, possibly to the point where you need a new one. Also, your charging system is not really designed to recharge a fully discharged battery quickly. When driving, especially at night or in the winter, or in the summer or in town, much of the alternators capacity is used simply to operate the vehicle leaving little amperage to recharge the battery. If you want to operate accessories without running the engine, you may have to look at a different battery or an additional battery.
The Pac seem to have an undersized battery to begin with. Many users complain of dead batteries after they leave the tailgate or doors open for extended periods. Those inside lights draw about 100 W. In comparison your low beams headlights are about 55 W each.
It helps to keep track of the power consumption of your electrical devices, particularly when the engine is not running.
That must be in second gear.
The next time we went to the drive-in the battery lasted the entire time. The movies were a bit shorter and we did not use the power seats.
Also, the price was near or at the price you quoted in the earlier post. The good thing about his dealer was that they were willing to help solve this problem with him. They even ordered the part for him and installed it. If it didnt work he didnt have to pay for the part (great dealer if you ask me). But he did also purchase a new HID assembly set from them so maybe they were more obligated to help. In any case, the problem has been solved so I am going to do this PDM swap very soon. Good luck on your end.
1. Is it a good idea to combine these two?
2. Some brand names that I can look for?
Thank you
It's not meant for that.
