  1. I just scored a very good condition drivers seat to replace the one in my 05 GT, which is ripped and split at the seam. Seeing as these seats have air bags, do I need to take any additional precautions when installing it aside from pulling the battery cable first?
  2. Update. Switch tested just fine. After I reinstalled it I still heard a click but no movement coming from behind the middle of car dome light. Gave the headliner a smack in the area to noise was coming from, and then the sunroof started working! Still need to figure out what's going on as I'm afraid to use it at this point, but opened and closed smoothly several times.
  3. Thanks for the information. The mechanism itself is fine, I can fully open and close the roof using the manual hex tool with ease, therefore the problem is electrical. As much as I don't want to buy parts hoping it fixes the problem, I don't want to have the car immobile for several days to drop the headliner and then wait for the motor to arrive should I need it. I am going to troubleshoot the switch but I'm still leaning towards the motor after looking everything over. Just seems like an unusual part to fail, never ran across a sunroof motor dying before.
  4. So now that it's finally warming up here in Michigan I have been using my sunroof regularly.....until this weekend. I've always lubricated it every spring with white lithium grease and everything always moved smoothly without issue. Last summer it began having a very intermittent issue where it would close to the last "stop" before fully shut, and then would not respond to the switch to fully close or open further. This was always easily remedied by simply shutting of the ignition and turning it back on, the car would then respond and the roof would close. I went to open it this weekend and I get no movement, no tilt or sliding. I can hear what sounds like a relay click up in the headliner near the rear of the moonroof, but the motor doesn't move. Fuses are all good so I'm thinking the motor might have died. Anything else I should check before I order a replacement motor? I'd like to have the part on hand before dropping the headliner if I need it.

  6. Hi All, I just had the transmission rebuilt in my 2005 Legacy GT and I am almost done installing it in the vehicle, however it appears a harness or two may have been lost by the person who performed the rebuild. I'm hoping someone can provide so assistance as to what I need to purchase. Currently, I have two connectors right about the transmission that don't plug into anything, pictured here: I also have two connectors on the transmission which I assume are for neutral sensor and reverse lights, pictured here: Additionally, I cannot figure out where to plug in the downstream O2 sensor, as it will not reach either of the connectors located on top of the transmission pictured above. It seems to me that I should have two harnesses, one for the two transmission sensors and another for the O2 sensor. Can anyone confirm that the two connectors on top of the transmission are infact for the downstream O2 sensor and the two transmission sensors (neutral and reverse)? I've contacted the person who performed the rebuild and he cannot find either harness, but I'm quite certain I sent them along with the trans accidentally. Thank you for your help
  7. Hi All, I have an 05 LGT wagon with approximately 213k on it. It's basically all stock and overall I'm happy with how it handles. Around 175k, I replaced the rear struts with some cheap OEM replacements. I didn't replace the springs at that time, and I probably should have. Now a few years later, I have a noticeable sag in the rear, and the rear suspension is very squeaky. I use this car daily for work, and often end up having quite a bit of heavy cargo in the rear. In the next few months, I plan to replace the rear struts and springs again and I'm looking for recommendations on the best way to go for my use. Looking through the options on rockauto/other sites, they don't seem to understand that the wagon and sedans use different rear springs. Has anyone found a good quality OEM replacement for wagon rear struts and springs they would recommend? I'd really prefer to avoid going to the dealership for these parts if I can find something comparable online. I'd not looking for anything that would lower the vehicle, I like the stock height and ride quality. Sorry if this has been covered in an FAQ, I tried searching but couldn't find much information on this topic. Thanks in advance!
