 No Go With The New Transponder
Same situation. I figure since we're getting into the vehicles computer now I should mention that the drivers side power window doesn't work, I just get a clicking from under the dash. Also the outside temperature reading has always been messed up. It has never (since I've owned the van) been right, and if it gets warm outside (80+) it just reads ERR. I'm getting the feeling after reading your last post that this is probably reaching the point of not being a simple or inexpensive fix. Even if I were to get the right pieces together I'd still have to have someone reprogram it. So, in your opinion, with the van only being worth ~2K should I start looking at purchasing something else? As it sits now, it's worthless as a trade in, but is it going to be worth dumping a bunch of money into it or should I just scrap it. The van runs great, and other than replacing the alternator and the strange A/C issue I posted a few weeks ago, I haven't had a lot of problems with the van. It has always had little electrical quirks like I've read about on the forum. The interior lights will just come on on their own, and the battery would drain if left to sit too long between starts. I guess I'll be going car shopping soon, huh? (They're practically giving away trucks nowadays). I may end up keeping this as a third vehicle if I can get it fixed for a reasonable cost. But we're down to one vehicle right now and my wife starts back to work a week from Monday.
Thanks again for any info/advice you can give. |
