All the direct-fit rack options for BP roof rails: Low profile: The OEM (Thule-style) square bars were made by Mont Blanc. Those and a newer aero-style version are still imported by PerryCraft in Sparta, NC. See their website for retailers. http://www.perrycraft.com/c-9609-1998-2007.aspx Another, better square bar option was the Thule 440 specialty rack with kit SR2. Production was brief and availability is limited, especially the SR2 kit. Yakima RailGrab towers make for an especially low profile. Just discontinued, availability is plentiful. Fitting these takes special care to avoid contacting the roof paint. Standard profile: Yakima EZ Rider towers are a nice fit. Discontinued quite a while back, availability is limited. High profile: Locking EZ Riders are maybe half an inch taller than non-locking EZ Riders. Availability is similar. -
Dash Cluster Issues

And this is why I won't take my car in for the Takata recall. -

Dash Cluster Issues
relative4 replied to Blackbeard's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Maybe a loose bus connection to the ABS module? Is the Modis reporting successful communications to the module? Does ABS engage properly if you lock 'em up? -

You need a better scanner. The flashing cruise control light with the traction control light indicates an ABS code is present. Oh hey, so does the ABS light. Didn't see that at first. -
Help! Very high a/f learning
relative4 replied to Lgt005's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
The GS has a flex section, so probably not your problem. A smoke test of the intake system will not smoke test the exhaust system. Exhaust leak is not a primary suspect anyway if you're not whistling. Search this site for "vacation pics", you'll find the link right quick. The fuel pressure test will diagnose the pump and regulator. Easy & quick if you have a fuel pressure tester ($50 @ AutoZone; do NOT get the Harbor Freight POS). -

OP: Do NOT do this! Running a stock map with a free-flowing downpipe is a clear path to #YNANSB. -

Check fuel pressure - see the procedure in the vacay pics Use BTSSM to monitor for sub-threshold misfires at various RPM levels Consider a smoke test of the exhaust system. Do you get any whistling under boost? What brand up-pipe do you have? -
Airbag Light - Help

You can buy one for twice that from HF. -
Airbag Light - Help

Unless you just like wasting time and money, do not "fix" a problem you haven't diagnosed. Pulling the code is the only way to start. With a little savvy eBaying, you can get a dirt cheap price on a Launch CRP123, or hook up with a local automotive Facebook group or forum to find someone who'll let you use their scanner. P.S. a good scanner is an investment you'll never regret. -

Ditto. Any current plans to make more? -

Oh sorry, obviously didn't read carefully enough. I would start with a slim jim to open the door bypassing the handles. -
Door Lock Actuator Problems
relative4 replied to chrisay's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Removing the interior trim is pretty easy and definitely does not require drilling. Your Haynes manual or the vacation pics have the full details. A set of PLASTIC panel removers from Harbor Freight, etc. is often an asset for tasks like this. -

Dorman 65236 [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Dorman-65236-AutoGrade-Drain-Plug/dp/B000C10EVM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462449598&sr=8-1&keywords=Dorman+65236]Amazon.com: Dorman 65236 AutoGrade Oil Drain Plug: Automotive[/ame] Available from Advance Auto Parts, etc. For some reason, some aftermarket up-pipes have an M12-1.5 bung, although the OEM bung is M12-1.25. This bolt is 1.5. It's about 5mm too long; rather than grind it down, you can sandwich a steel flat washer between 2 copper or aluminum crush washers for a quick & easy seal. -
Weak windshield washer

Pulling on the stalk isn't supposed to mist, it just gives you a single swipe of the blades. All is well. -
Weak windshield washer
relative4 replied to relative4's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Sigh, a cracked hose was dumping half the fluid on the hood liner. Inexcusable that it took me so long to find it. I suck. -
Weak windshield washer
relative4 replied to relative4's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Thanks! Is it OK to hook it straight to the battery with the car turned off, or could that burn up the pump? -
My windshield washer used to spray about halfway up the windshield. Now it only sprays up a few inches. Not cool in the winter. I cleaned corrosion from the connector at the pump, checked the voltage there (12.0, fine), checked the hose for pinch points, blew it out with compressed air, replaced the fuse, and finally replaced the pump. I used an aftermarket pump, which required me to cut off the stock connector and rewire, thus eliminating remaining connector corrosion from the equation. Nothing made any difference. I'm wondering if maybe the circuit, though pushing proper voltage, can no longer handle the current required. Anyone seen this?

Speedometer failure
relative4 replied to relative4's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Found TSB 08-36-05, which seems to pertain to this problem. http://www.scoobymods.com/showthread.php/er-sp-error-code-odo-5827.html? Really not looking forward to pulling out the driver's seat. -
My '05 LGT developed a new problem with the speedometer today. The dashboard display said "Er SP", and the speedometer did not work. Next time I started up, it worked. Today is a very wet day. Anyone know where the water gets in to cause this?
