Team3S: SRS Light ON
Drive carefully -
My light went out 2 days
before I was involved in a head-on collision, in which
the bag saved my
life.
Best of luck

Team3S: SRS Light - off again after a week?
My SRS light came on when my
battery died. I replaced the battery, but the
light has been on ever
since, about 2 years. I tried everything to get it
to shut off:
disconnected the battery for 1/2 day, turned the ignition on
and off 10
times, nothing worked. I finally pulled the dash apart and took
the bulb
out.
What do the dealers know that we don't? There is nothing in
the service
manual about shutting it off...

Shocks & Struts
I never heard that one ---- I would be very surprised
if anyone other than the
dealer would source a limited production specialty
item like these electronic
struts. Let the group know if you find
out differently.

Team3S: Re: Etacs
Hello,
Thought I would say thanks for the
work of putting up the Technical
Information Manual,
jeff. Regarding the
etacs, some of the symptoms i've been experiencing
sound
potentially
linked to the unit, but i've had other things to get to
before handling
them. Namely, they
include the power windows which remain
inoperable, the headlight doors which
remain up,
and the stereo which will
not play tapes, cds, and the radio is rather
faint. A little advice,
if
anyone has it, would be great. And thanks for the tip on the
hatchback
drain holes - all they
needed was to be cleared out, although i
dont recall what was recommended to
use to snake
down in
there.
thanks,
john 93 stealth

Re: Team3S: Shocks & Struts
If I could get a set of donor struts for
a 94+, I'll send them off to my
contact at Penske Shocks. It will take him a
little while, but he says he
can fit Penskes to our struts. They won't be ECS
any more (at least I don't
think so, anyway). Anybody got a set of worn-out
front and rear struts they
would care to donate to the cause?. I'll pay for
shipping, the conversion,
and then track test them. He's already said
that he SHOULD be able to
modify a stock strut at a competitive price (less
than or equal to GABs or
stock replacements). But we'll never know until I
can find a set of struts
for him to play with.
What about 1st gens?
Nobody can tell me if 1st gen struts will fit a 94. I
am not going through
all this just to find that they won't fit my car.
Lots of people say they
THINK it will work, but the fact is that the struts
changed model numbers
just before 94, so something is different.

RE: Team3S: Shocks & Struts
Wait a minute. At one time, about
two years ago, we were looking for an OEM
replacement strut for our '93 VR4
w/ECS and got one quoted from AutoZone at
cheaper than dealer price. It
was special order, but supposedly ECS
comaptible. We didn't choose to
replace the struts.
Were they stretching the truth?
