Okay, after years of lust finally got my H2 (I got one of the first civilian licenses to drive a military HMMWV back when I was a coop student (1985) with the DOD in Huntsville, AL and have been hooked ever since).
I bought a 2003 Burgundy w/33K miles, Black Powder Coated wheels, black grille and smoke roof lights are on the way
let the blackout begin (you can tell I'm not a chrome guy).
Now, just picked it up on Saturday in South Carolina (drove 400 miles each way) and have a few questions.
1. There is a small "speaker" just above the driver's seat (in headliner) that constantly buzzes...what is that and how do I make it stop?? Assume the other small protuberance just in front of the driver in the headliner is the mic for On-Star/Phone.
IT'S THE TEMP SENSOR FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL. SHOULDN'T BUZZ. MAYBE YOU HAVE THEM BACKWARDS. MINE BUZZED FROM HAVING A LOOSE MIC CONE.
2. Passenger side mirror operates fine but does not fold in...heard this may be a programming thing. Anybody familiar with that problem, and along these lines can I install the new 2006 style side mirrors on my 2003 without much trouble??
DOUBT IT'S A PROGRMAMING ISSUE. YES THE MIRRORS CAN BE CHANGED OUT. NOT IT'S NOT EASY. OR CHEAP.
3. Lastly, the A/C makes quite a bit of noise (coming from the dash), sounds like fluid expansion and flows somewhere in the dash. Is this normal or does this indicate something amiss, cools fine once on.
GOT ME.
4. Has anyone installed a 2006 Touch-screen Nav/Radio in a 2003 and if so, any problems or suggestions?
GO WITH AN AFTERMARKET ONE LIKE THE ECLIPSE IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND THE MONEY.
Thanks much!!
