I have a 2003 Black Tibby GT automatic. I bought it in May.........It only had 30,151 miles on it and the previoius owner had installed a CAI, Viper Alarm with remote and a JVC head unit. He also installed new mufflers.....not a cat back, just replaced the mufflers.
So now I am regretting buy this car.............I love driving it and it is quick and fun to drive, but this person screwed up my eletrical.
I had a leak..............when i rained hard the water was dripping down on my foot (dead rest). The next morning (about 3 weeks ago)......I had no: parking lights, turn signals, alarm, power door locks, power windows........what did work was: radio, heat, headlights and foglights and power roof.............a friend took a look at it and said the wiring is a mess, so what I gathered is that the previous owner installed everything himself...........put 2 HUGE holes in the fire wall......he also left the cable in there for the amp he had..............so my friend re-wired it so I could have parking lights..........since I drive to work in the dark and go home in the dark...........I took it to the dealer on Monday and that is where it has been since.
I know they won't cover it, but I am gonna fight it big time...........I am paying too much for this car (i bought the gap insurance and extended warranty) because I need to keep it for awhile...........I am gonna scream and fight it.
The previous owner also did the clear corner mod and painted the headlights black and I loved it, but he didn't seal them properly and they had condensation in them and water marks and they looked like crap. The dealer did replace them and gave me new headlights, but I HATE the orange lense and there is no way I could even try the DIY on the lights...........
I want my baby back.......................
