Question

As I mentioned before, I assuredly test-drove this car and it ran just fine. So I'm not entirely sure how this could be such a thing.

Now, should it be the fog control n'such, I could imagine that. It's hard to test the defogger in the middle of a sunny day.

OH... And my insurance girl said it popped up as the SE, so I guess I was wrong. Apparently the power doors/locks/windows were OPTIONAL. The Cruise control and multi-function windshield wiper were the give-away. Anyone else know the details on this?

...and before I forget!

What are some suggestions for fixing a falling headliner?

Unrelated, but important. I've heard of some sprays, some tacks, and full replacement in general conversation.

Any product/application suggestions? Any help appreciated.

The key relay thing is the noise if you leave the key in and open the door ...
Nothing to do with start/running ...

You can test the defrost with a voltmeter and a non contact thermometer...
SE is a trim level , the only other thing is front/rear sway bars

full replacement is the best ... Jo ann fabrics has headliner mateial and 3 yards was around $20 I use 3M super 777 adhesive ...

You can attempt to use it to reglue the existing as well

Okay... I got the speakers up and running, got that harness back in it's home, and everything seems to be doing fine.

I did notice however, that the headliner has a couple of droopy spots. Whats the removal method for the avenger headliner?

AND... Anyone know if the 3M headliner adhesive works with the type of foam molding Dodge used for the roof? I know that using the wrong stuff can lead to what looks like melting, and other things like that.

Thanks!

Cool

Well, everyone that has helped and has offered support and information, you'll be happy to know that I got the car home and it's happy as a clam.

I've put quite a bit of work into it. New headliner, resurfaced headlights, steamed interior, cleaned a mouse-nest from the fan assembly, new stereo all the way around, and quite a few other things. But it was worth it!

Take a look below!




And let us not forget, before and after headlight resurfacing. By the way, this was done with a $20 kit from Wal-Mart, of all places. Was in the automotive department, in a silver pouch.

Thanks for the compliment Bad Venge, and thanks again for all your help!

And that plug without a home under the drivers seat?

It was for the cruise control from what I gather. But it has a home and everything is working like a gem.
