    D2 Window Regulator and Motor

    2000 D2 needs a replacement window regulator for driver's door. Motor is likely ok, but I replaced the regulator a few years back and I'm thinking of doing the motor now too. Anyone with them for sale, please post a reply. Thanks ...

    Alarm activates when locking door with key

    2000 D2. I don't have a working fob, and use only the key for locking/unlocking. Alarm goes off when locking the door. The door unlocks fine with the key and the alarm deactivates. The doors lock normally, with no alarm, if I use the electric lock dash button. What mechanisms/connections in...

    Horn disable for alarm/lock troubleshooting?

    By the way, I just pulled the horn fuse and reconnected the battery. Alarm resumed, but without terrible racket. Fiddled with the key in the lock until the alarm disabled upon unlock. It's gone back to behaving normally. Either a one-off, or the first sign of real trouble in the door ...

    Horn disable for alarm/lock troubleshooting?

    Been awhile since I've posted. I've been using a manual key recently, after losing my key fob. This morning, apparently the alarm wasn't disabled when I manually unlocked the door. Alarm got the horn going, and the ignition froze. Putting key in ignition was no help. Probably something...

    Whoa, that was quick ...

    Feels like yesterday when she was born, but this week we moved the oldest daughter into her dorm room to start the college career. Mom's a blubbering wreck and I might officially be an old fart now ...

    New battery related to misfires?

    History: had rough running and misfire codes, since it had been 30k since last plugs/wires, I did plugs/wires/coilpacks. After, no repeat codes and smooth running, so all was well. This was 3 weeks ago. Then a week ago, my battery took a dump. I replaced it (Optima red top) and things were...

    Driver's door lock cylinder spins - '99 DII

    By the way, I did end up doing this repair, replacing the broken rod as others have done with a nail. However, I used a 40d nail instead of a 20d. The thickness and width of the nail head allowed for about as much surface area contact on the plastic lock actuator as the original piece, so it...

    Driver's door lock cylinder spins - '99 DII

    I'd whack it with the man fist if there was room, but it's a little tight. I'm sure there is a release tab or something on one side of the plastic piece attaching the rod to the latch, but I haven't felt it/seen it yet. Probably painfully obvious, but I'm willing to get flamed if I can get it...

    Driver's door lock cylinder spins - '99 DII

    Rave says "Release exterior handle control from latch." How do I do this without breaking something? There is kind of a plastic tab - do I push, pull, or what? Thanks ...

    Who at the factory thought suede door panels on DII's were a good idea?

    I like how my tan ones look like wet dog ... It's not quite as bad as say, stock D2 front drive shafts, but it's a dumb idea ...

    Vietnam War books. Recommendations?

    You say this like we could have stopped it. "The Best and the Brightest" said otherwise. What say you to its argument, if you know the book?

    fun way to end the year ...

    Coyote Canyon at Borrego was good this week. The 3rd crossing was a little high and the kids got a kick out of the mini bow wave. Lots of jeeps out that day, but sadly there wasn't another rover in sight ... Sorry for the double post, not sure what happened ...
