Correct - no porcupine right now. The ACC worked great today - 200 miles, and it didn't miss a lick. Lat night, my daughter reported that the parking brake light was staying on, even after releasing the brake, and that the car wouldn't accelerate forward after backing out of the drive. She

The spring might not be fully returning the pedal to the full up position. Try pulling it up a little with your foot and see if the light goes off. OK Don wrote: Correct - no porcupine right now. The ACC worked great today - 200 miles, and it didn't miss a lick. Lat night, my daughter

It clunks rather resoundingly - I think it's all the way forward. I think there's something else going on - a resident gremlin, or that funky switch in the battery ground cable. Didn't get a chance to remove it today - maybe tomorrow if the rain isn't too bad. On 12/28/06, Kaleb C. Striplin

Nope - not in the owners manual. The 30 amp fuse is fine. And, the fan is working normally today! All I did was measure resistance (0.13) through the 30A fuse! It must be a loose connection somewhere in the ACC circuitry. This will be fun to diagnose, if it ever happens again. On 12/26/06, Kaleb

Nope - I have the original OM - went all the way through it. The light in question is on the rocker switch that switches the ACC to recirculation mode - the light tells you that you're in that mode. It is now off, and everything works as it should. Gremlins! On 12/26/06, LarryT [EMAIL PROTECTED]
