Still there, fortunately, yet unfortunately....

I just took it into Naperville Dodge to get my tranny solenoid pack replaced cause it decided to fuck me over too. And one of my sway bar bushing end links FELL OFF MY CAR. And Dodge said I hit a bump and it broke off...........

The night DuPage had that massive fog covering it.

When you removed the bumper cover...did you by chance notice a sensor on the bottom center area that looks like the AIT sensor?

titansxt · Post by **titansxt** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 10:46 pm

Was it just a sensor hanging around down on the bottom(the lip[ by the radiator)? Or was it one plugged into something?

Do you have the Rear View mirror that displays outside air temp?

MoparNeonMan · Post by **MoparNeonMan** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:00 am

nope...that was my first thought

titansxt · Post by **titansxt** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 11:56 am

I've got one of those too. I'm not too worried about it.

MoparNeonMan · Post by **MoparNeonMan** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 1:12 pm

Im curious what (if anything) would happen if i disconnected it. Did the neon ever come with the high tech mirror?

titansxt · Post by **titansxt** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 3:05 am

I think some srts had them (temp/N-E-S-W), not 100% sure. I don't see any reason why to disconnect it. Did you?

Post by **Diablo0** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 5:37 am

Ummm... I dont' think any SRTs came with that. Only select few R/Ts tha mainly had the leather package. I don't have a brochure handy to double check what the option package was called.

Hmmm, guess it was just something the dealer by me installed... Eh.

How do you remove the black grill? I'm trying to get the little clips off but they aren't budging.

Black grill as in the honeycomb stuff? If that is what you are talking about, it is connected in from the indside of the whole assembly. So you have to take off the front facia to get to them.

Or are you talking about the black plastic clips?

yellowpatrol · Post by **yellowpatrol** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 6:54 pm

Well I finally got it, but it was pretty tough. The red clips were a pain to pop and then pull the grill out.

You can see from the pic that I messed them up pretty bad.

EDIT: I just realized I should probably stop referring to them as "red clips" because not everyone has a red car. lol.

My 2003 R/T has the tech mirror with temp and compass. I think it came with the leather package. The outside temp is great, but the compass always points SW since I put my subs in the trunk

yellowpatrol · Post by **yellowpatrol** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 11:34 pm

Front fascia? Mirror compass?

aperson · Post by **aperson** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 11:41 pm

I know when its disconnected the car overheats like a SOB I had mine unhooked because I thought it was a plug for the fog light connector and let it idle for about 15-20 minutes while I was working on the interior last winter and the temp gauge was in the red, needless to say I shut her down and plugged it back in. Its worked fine since, I think it has to do with the fan control, because they never came on with it unplugged.
