It is an absolute mess in the fuse block area. Wires and zip ties oh my. I need to take a picture sometime. I'm not sure I’d be able to pull it out :lol:
:frown2: this is the heavily modified one right? I hope you can clean it up and make it normal. it will be a long project but worth it in the end. Sounds like the electrical gremlins have decided to put a pox on your house. I saw your posting about the switch if you have to replace it look at the one on the other side since that is the more used door. and there have been a lot of postings about the under hood switch too not sure if yours is already disconnected or not.



How is the 3rd CR-Z? Don't you and Rex own 3 between the two of you?
 
It's Ralph--the black one, not heavily modified unless you call red & black accents as heavily modified. Latest suspect is the license plate light LED's that were installed prior to the issues she's having now--otherwise, no problems with black & white.

Its romiatas white one with the corroded fuses and shuts off randomly.

My black car Ive had since 2012, not heavily electrically modified. Today “passenger door open” issue is gone. Hoping it stays that way.

Yes my boyfriend RatchetRex has his own CRZ. His is doing fine. Had 6MT rebuilt last summer for some worn out bearings. His A/C compressor went out last summer and he had it replaced. Currently its undergoing body modifications. He wants to keep it a secret until the dragon meet for a big reveal!

:surprise: I can not wait!

Needed to move the white CRZ oforward in the driveway to make room for the roomates patio furniture in the back of the driveway <img src="http://www.crzforum.com/forum/images/smilies2/001_rolleyes.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Rolleyes" class="inlineimg" /> Had a friend with a Ford F-150 test out his new towing strap and it went perfectly even though the towing gear came reallly close to the Mugen rear brake light

Edit: I canÂ’t seem to add photos from my autoguide app on my phone. I may have run out of space.

Was this just to test out the strap? CR-Z usually rolls easy enough to push by hand.

My white CRZ was pointed nose down in the driveway; the driveway sloped down. Wouldve needed 3 people to push it working against gravity. Then I realized I had a friend with a truck that can tow! Only needed to move it 3 feet.

Worked smarter, not harder, I get it. :grin2:

So the CEL I had last winter (P0171) must have been cured by cleaning the MAF sensor a couple months ago. The Check Emissions System was turning on and off randomly. I actually thought I still had it (P0171) cause I still have had a CEL randomly come and go, depending on temperature (warm) and mode (sport). I just checked the code and now its P0420 thats coming and going by itself. Time for a new secondary O2 sensor I guess!

Just ordered some NASTRA brand remanufactured rear calipers; both of them. My boyfriend had to replace his rears last winter. One seized up on the way home from Canada, it was really hard for him to source remans. I just had a difficult time too. Was going to buy Autozone ones but I had to wait a few days til I got paid. By the time I had money, they were gone. Those would have been the best deal too...

When we replaced rotors and pads in my CRZ last November my rear pistons were very difficult to push back in and the boot around the piston tore and leaked some fluid. Figure I might as well replace them before the dragon. Last thing I need is for one to get seized up while down there.

I will NOT be turning in my original ones to get the core cost back. I will be keeping them, and either rebuilding them myself or sending them out to have it done. Then I will be all set next time I need some replacements!
