    Driver side door handle not working

    I recommend modding that spring. A stronger tab works but a lighter handle pull is much much nicer, not to mention less strain on the plastic hinges.A little late but this guide is nice http://rcaz.com/rcaz/sub%20indexes/eclipse_door_handle_removal/index.htm

    Driver side door handle not working

    When there is not enough travel to actuate the main assembly, then the metal tab the linkage attaches to is bent upward (on the door latch itself), and over time the point at which the door opens becomes higher and higher in pulling up the handle. Eventually the plastic portion of the handle...

    Spyder Possible alternator problem

    A simple available voltage check is all that's needed.$5 gets you a good one, 90% people don't know how to fully use a basic DMM, let alone one over $100. The common cheap digital ones are great, and if you don't like the reading you get, you can chuck that sob across the room for fun.

    Spyder Possible alternator problem

    Well you said something about the battery light, so the fuse powering both the L and S terminals (red wire and black/yellow wire) is good. Also covers the connection to alt because the light comes on, (alt grounds the bulb). Red wire could be cut somewhere but even if, the black yellow wire is...

    Spyder Possible alternator problem

    That's inacurate. General purpose LEDs should never be power hogs, and why would there be a 'power supply'. You mean + & - 12v leads and a resistor? However some LEDs like the whole Cree q4 business can draw quite a current, but their efficiency and output is also high.I'd put my money...

    Spyder Possible alternator problem

    First off, alternators should not be relied upon to charge a dead battery, only to top off and be the primary power provider for electrical demands so the battery isn't taxed.Second, dsm1g90 is right. This practice has been obsolete for a long long time. However it's not for the regulators...

    thumping, is it an axle?

    Very good troubleshooting OPOff the top of my head if the suspect is cv joint, hold wheel all way to the left or right and back up, the noise should be very clear if cv.Normally though when I hear someone explaining a 'thump' sound I immediately suspect driveshaft carrier bearing. Quick...

    external wastegate

    I would not go straight to a gate. First try getting a hiflow cat welded in somewhere and that should cover it. You won't suffer any practical power losses, it just ups the exhaust velocity to where it barely approaches backpressure, hence no significant power loss.Yes I've ran both. No...

    2G New Alternator, Battery good, Possible wire issues?

    Actually I doubt it's anything to do with any fused circuit. Huge sparks and melting terminal is a fatass direct short -check all the bigger cables coming off the battey, around the starter, etc. And check that amp setup too, you do have that fused RIGHT?

    Pull the biggest fuse then try connecting the cable. If it still sparks then its the unfused starter cables.

    2G New Alternator, Battery good, Possible wire issues?

    Bad idea. Good way to smoke a module not rated for higher than 'typical' voltages. The battery is the reference for the alternator otherwise it defaults to a higher voltage. It also absorbs any voltage spikes, the battery is the capacitor.That's not so bad on older vehicles but, todays...

    2G running hot at idle STUMPED

    How is the airflow to the fans/radiator. There should be no gaps on any sides or it's just recirculating the hot air. Try to perfectly funnel the air to each core, if there is a lack-of ducting between a FMIC and radiator it's just recirculating hot air..

    Wiring Harness Question
