We buckle up, but the sound is annoying before we do. Its low if we turn on the music loud enough. Also, it would be very convenient if the sunroof had a rain sensor to close it. The windshield wipers sensors are not as useful especially because these wipers make too much noise.

View 24 RepliesI noticed several times today, that the park assist gave false warnings when it was snowing lightly. the first time it happened, I stopped and got out to see if there was any snow accumulation on the bumper, and there was none.
Then later in the day, it happened several more times. the last time, only the two sets of red lights came on, without the yellow lights, and the beeper sounded briefly, and then it stopped again. And still there was not any snow on the bumper. Is it seeing snow flakes out there?
I have someone with a VAG-COM coming into town to disable TPMS, but I cant get my tpms module disconnected. I can feel the wire harness, but I cant figure out how to release it.
View 7 RepliesHow I'd disconnect the battery power? I don't have the owner's manual handy. I'm attempting to reset all systems to clear a 'steering defect workshop' warning. I've removed the cover and think I see the battery (there's a black bar over it that I can't remove by hand).
View 1 RepliesI own 2006 vw passat 2.0T with 10-speaker dynaudio system. One day my sound disappeared completely, without any warnings. I found an amp 3C0-035-456-A under the driver seat. I tried to bypass amplifier directly to one of the speaker (midrange). the sound came on in that speaker. Which makes me believe that my amp died. On the other hand i checked the fuses and even voltages. Green connector to amp gets 3 rails 9 of voltage supply. Each of them measured as 2.8V, which doesn't add up to 12V no how.( so maybe its a voltage problem i'm not sure).
View 3 RepliesWhen it's cold and the car heats up, you can hear the hood sheetmetal make an 'oil-can' buckle sound. Happens frequently while running in cold weather. It's not the hood itself, but perhaps the metal underneath. It's noticeably loud.
View 2 RepliesMy driver's seatbelt buckle on my 2005 has become really loose. I thought the bolt had gotten loose but it's not, it's on tight. Looking at the parts diagram, there doesn't seem to be any spacers that would tighten the buckle.
View 7 RepliesMy seat belt latch is throwing the common error:
1 Fault Found:
00591 - Seat Belt Switch; Driver (E24)
32-00 - Resistance too High
I measured block 2 and found that wiggling the seat belt latch showed a 'On' vs 'Too High'. So I know it's that switch inside the latch. I don't want to buy a new latch. But since I always wear my seat belt I could just use a resistor to set it to 'ON' at all times.
I have found a few DIY, but thing seem to vary from R32 to Golf. In this .pdf, it is for the airbag defeat, but I am thinking this is a different issue all together.. [URL] .... This guide then shows different wires than the R32... [URL] .....
So i dont have a prius... yet. Just started looking at them and ran across one that had the dash lit up and warnings on the lcd as well. I think it wise to steer clear of this car but curios as to what could be wrong with it as this info may come in handy as i look further into these cars.
View 3 RepliesHad a rather annoying noise on my R for a month or so now.The drivers seat belt buckle is rattling, If I put some tension on the belt it stops.
View 5 RepliesI'm not sure if this is an epidemic or not but I thought I remembered seeing some others with this issue: when driving alone, usually in cooler temps, the passenger seatbelt buckle near the console rattles like a mofo. I have seen some reports of people getting it fixed at their dealership, some managed to get it done under warranty with some effort. I'm considering trying to fight the dealership to do it under warranty when I go in for my 30k service, but wondering if it's something I could tackle at home. Hasn't been too bad since the weather warmed up so not even sure I could duplicate the issue for the dealer tech.
View 11 RepliesYesterday I changed my engine water pump and flushed the coolant. While filling the coolant I attempted to put the car into maintenance mode to run the pump. At the end of the process when I pressed the brake and start, the engine didn't start running and instead the car shut off.
Now all of the red triangle, ABS, vcs, check oil, and traction warnings are all on. There is also an icon of a red car with an exclamation point on the top left corner of the display. The car will also not go into gear and A/C and heat don't seem to be working.
I have had 3 or 4 warnings in the last two days when trying to start my car.
Sometime the red exclamation comes on and twice the mfd came up with a message about 'P' and parking on a flat surface.
I have a 09 gen2 and I'm on my original battery. Was wondering if its an early sign of 12v battery failure or if its something else?
For the first time I noticed a little glowing light[s] in my drivers seat belt buckle [female end....actually 2 lights, one on each side of the female part where the male end inserts]. It glows for about 10 seconds when starting up. Probably useful for connecting seat belt in the dark. What it does at night under normal driving conditions.
I did not see the same light on the passengers' side. Don't know if there is not one or it only works when there is weight in the seat.
Esoteric little item....but just wondering if there should be the same light on the passenger side and , if so, where /how to troubleshoot? Would it be a bulb or built in to the buckle? I did not check rear seat....I will do that next...
I just bought a 2015 Camry LE. The back seat belt buckles keep disappearing beneath the seat surface when you try to put your seat belt on. It's even more annoying when you have a child trying to buckle up in a booster seat. I went back to the dealer & they showed me several other 2015-2016's and they all do the same thing. Apparently, it's a Toyota design flaw & not an annoying quirk to my car. Any solution to keep the buckle above the seat?
View 4 RepliesI have a 97 Ford Ranger and the belt buckle got inserted into the latch in reverse. Now, I can't get it out. I can depress the release button, but it won't come out. I've tried rocking the buckle, but that doesn't work. I've tried inserting a flat piece of metal into the latch to release it, but I can't get it in there far enough.
What I'm looking for is an easy "trick" to get this thing to release. The buckle and latch look like this: [URL] .........
My car has 196,000 miles on it & recently starting loading up, stalling. May be heat related. How can I determine if it's the ECM, crank or cam position sensors? The last time it quit on me it scrolled thru "ABS out", "Trac out" & "Gear box failure". Let it sit a minute, restarted it, not a single thing shows up. I'm afraid to drive it as it appears to be getting worse. Our code reader is not giving us anything definitive to go on. Jaguar XJ8 2003....

The "buckle seat belt" symbol keeps popping up on the dashboard for the driver's seat even though the seat belt is certainly buckled. This happens off and on throughout a drive, but it does happen at least once every time the car is driven. Other than the constant dinging and the dashboard light, the seatbelt seems to be working properly.
We took it in to a mechanic and they said it is a switch in the seat belt assembly that is failing, but they don’t sell just the switch. They have to replace the whole assembly. They determined this by doing an electrical test in which they compared the resistance of the working passenger seatbelt to the non-working drivers seatbelt.
We are concerned that this is a problem that would cause the seatbelt to fail in the case of an accident. If we ignore this problem and just have them shut the seat belt warning sound OFF, are we in danger? Basically I just want to know how critical is this problem?
I installed some aftermarket HID lights in my 08 passat. I took it to a local shop to have the drls turned off and the bi xenon turned on. All the warnings and bulb out lights went off, the lights fire up perfect. but for some reason now the lights (all of them, rear, dash, parking all come on with the ignition whether or not the lights are switched on or off.
I am sure a code got changed that causes that, but which code would activate all lights all the time? It's not DRls it all lights are on just like you turned the lights on manually.
Airbag light came on the other day while out on an errand. Take it to work and pull the codes. I got a low voltage code and a driver seat belt buckle code "00059" maybe I'm trying to recall but unsure. I have a pair of seat belt buckles out of a mk5 Jetta. Do these will plug into my mk4 by chance?
