Great idea ! I unwittingly bought a Dodge Gr Caravan with sliding doors that have fixed (non-opening) windows. I travel solo, and I need a solution to exhaust the heat, other than running my AC nonstop. I talked to an RV dealer about installing a roof top vent with a fan, but the cost is prohibitive. I'd thought about a removeable fan for the front passenger window with an alternate battery, but the curve of the window poses a problem for a frame. I can cover the windows to reduce the heat coming in, but I really need a way to exhaust the hot air from the vehicle to make it more comfortable. I'd love to hear any ideas you have, or from your readers. Thank you ! 😓 😰 😅

Perhaps there is a connector/adapter extender so there is no struggle with the original connector for future headlight replacements? Going to look around and see if this exists.

It's only a matter of time when a gazillion $ class action lawsuit will be filed proving with a dashcam vid, that the car did not respond in time i.e. there was a delay: and a massive accident happened. Of course, ALL car companies will be named in the lawsuit for this dangerous (and expensive - in the long run) feature.

How do i get the small seat to unfold? It's stuck
@VantasticPacifica26 күн бұрын
That depends. Are these powered seats? If so, there's a couple things you could try. First make sure nothing is blocking the foot flap that pops out automatically in chair mode. This could be things like carpets or rubber floor mats. If that's clear then try holding the Stow button for a few extra seconds before trying the Normal button. That usually works for me. I think that helps it to finish cycling through the modes or something. If your seat isn't even trying to unfold and is making no noise at all, it could be unplugged. Check the connection. This is not likely to be the cause if you've never removed the seat. And you may as well check the fuses while your at it but I'm not hopeful about that either if the other seat still works. If none of that helps, you can actually manually unflold the seat. Just grab it and pull it open. It'll take a little muscle but it will slowly open. That's all I can think of for now.

The Feds decided it would save fuel by installing these stupid systems. Did they think about the vast amounts of energy that would be used to build and maintain these systems. In Jeeps there is a complete extra battery just to power these systems. How much energy does it take to build and deliver Thousands and thousands of batteries just for a device that is supposed to save gas. Then when these systems fail more cars are driving back and forth to the dealers, using significant amounts of fuel, to fix a device that was intended to save fuel. I'm sorry this system uses more fuel than it saves, in the long run. Save an ounce at the stop light, then millions of gallons, building, delivering and maintaining these things, STUPID!
