  1. That's explains why when I read some people hosing down the latch worth only wd40 said that it stays on no matter how much you spray. Lol. Wd40 DOES NOT work! Use brake cleaner like a previous poster said or electrical cleaner. Some say brake cleaner eats plastic and destroys the housing. But I never seem that happen unless you leave a item dipped in our over night. But I stayed on the safe side amnd used electrical cleaner. But any how, this is the sweet spot. Put the straw right where I have it and spray. You can adjust the straw to hit the whole area squared in orange.

  2. Here is a update. Been 7 days since I sprayed electric cleaner. On the 4th day, I opened the door to spill extra coffee on the road when I was on a red light. The ajar stay on. I reopened it and closed it normally, ajar went off. It did it again on the 5th day and just reopened and closed it normally and it always goes away. So. .. This morning I decided to spray wd40 inside the latch without removing the door panel in which I have never done. I sprayed it good so it reaches everything. Guess what? The ajar light came one when I closed the door and refuse to go away no matter how many times I closed the door or even when i closed it rather hard. It stay on for a good 3 minutes until I decided to spray electric cleaner again. I soaked it really good and guess what? Ajar light is gone and hasn't come in the whole day again. So stay away from wd40 on this issue! Use electric cleaner!

  3. This is definitely related to the "ajar warning" everyone seems to be having. I was getting the ajar warning light once in a while when closing the door. Although it was properly closed it would stay on until I reopen and closer again normally. Well when this issue was happening, my horn would chirp 2 times (when remote locking)meaning there's a door open. I just reopen and close and it chirps 1 time. We'll. .. yesterday I noticed it was giving me 3 chirps. Never done that. I just open all the door and close them and then it locks properly. So anyways. . This morning i sprayed electrical cleaner spray from Autozone on the latch mechanism and inside the keyhole on the driver side since that was the offending door. I sprayed the whole can. Now. .. my issue is totally gone. Do I assume dirt on the mechanism sensor was the culprit. But I can't find anything online what 3 chirp means. Anyone know?

  4. Thxs guys. Been enjoying driving this car I forgot about this forum. Love the power and sound still. Buy yes.. Haz.. That's the pic. I do use it for radio presets. But since it looks like adial pad I was expecting it to be a blue tooth in there. But I scrolled thru the while radio settings and Clymer find absolutely any blutooth settings. Im puzzled.

  5. Ok. Here's some good data. Filled the tank fully by topping it off until the car pissed. I know it's not a good idea to top it off but I have top make sure it's filled fully. Ran it until I reached 0 miles on the estimated time to empty on the dash. I got 388.4 miles on it from city driving and some 30% in highway driving.

    THIS IS WHAT THE DASH READ:

     

    Distance to E: 0

    Miles traveled: 388.4

    Fuel Used: 20.00 gal

    Average Fuel: 19.4 mpg

     

    Ok... at the pump I once again filled it at top speed and it clicked at 16.68 gal. Then proceded to click it until it pissed again and it pissed at exactly 16.91. I pushed ut till it reached exactly 17 gal. So worth this data.. I can see the computer reading 20 gal used us way off. And also it looks like running it to 0 miles means I have 1 gallon left exactly. The needle was right on top of the red dash too. Exactly on the red dash to be precise. I turned the key off and on to see if the needle drops and it does drop just barely like 5 hair strands. So... looks like im all good really. Ill log in the next empty tank for future referance.
