  1. Yes it should unlock with the rest of them, so I would check the connections and grounds and all that good stuff to see why it isn't working. My power door locks are only controlled my the drivers side (factory installed), meaning that the only way to unlock and lock all the locks at once is by using the drivers door. Otherwise I just unlock/lock that one door. I am going to install keyless entry in my wagon, and in order to do that, I am going to have to install a power door lock motor in the drivers door. So the drivers door is the only one that doesn't have a motor controlling the lock. The theory behind that is, since it's the only door that controls the lock, why do you need a motor. I hope that helps some...
  2. Just a thought on this... Did you try the wires coming from the parking light switch on the steering column? They always have power, and they only do the parking lights. I seem to remember on my old wagon that I installed an alarm with keyless entry on that I used those wires. I had the lights flashing no matter what on that bad boy, but it's been too long since then to remember specifically, but you should be able to get it to work. My 2 cents... Edit, sorry to hijack this, my bad!! I just realized that... sorry
  3. Hehe, ya I have taken it apart a little bit to install some LED's for a mod I did, and I also installed an aftermarket LED map light and a switch right next to the fan control knob, so I have taken it apart that much. This weekend I am going to go to the junkyard and take a part the dash there and put it back together so I have some experience working on a car I don't care about That way it should be quicker the second time and save me time and energy, and hopefully I won't break anything on mine At the junk yard now, there is a car that was recently taken apart for the heater core, so the dash is completely apart, so I will look at that and use that for a reference. I think I can also locate the bolts that you are talking about on the car that's apart, that way I know right where to look. Thanks for the tip!
  4. That's what I was hoping for now I can choose my color for the dash lights At least something cool will happen because of this, of course other than the fact it won't leak or smell of antifreeze anymore
  5. Ok so one more question for those who have taken the instrument panel out, to make the light green is there a green translucent cap over a white light, or is it a green light? I was thinking about rocking some red led lights to change up the instrument lights. Then it would match my kenwood deck, not to mention be badass
  6. I can't wait for the snow. For the last few years I have driven a mr2 as my dd so when it snowed it didn't go anywhere, but not now! I live very close to tumwater, almost Lacey, off of the yelm highway. We should go wheelin' sometime, that way if I get stuck I have someone to pull me out
  7. Wow, thanks all for the responses! I head up to Seattle every weekend, so I will have to check them out. Unfortunately my heater core went out, so the bumpers will have to wait for now until that gets fixed, so I won't be able to look for a little bit. I will be able to soon, but I must be responsible and fix the car first Again thanks all for the input, and anymore is welcome! I will post back once I am on the hunt again.
  8. Nope, where's it at? Do keep in mind my subie is stock . Rockcandy sounds like it should be good
  9. This is true, it looks like that is the correct size anyways. That's what I was really curious about. I will probably go through schmucks just because it's close. Maybe napa, they always tend to have better quality stuff. I will call tomorrow see what they say. So I figured since I have the dash out, I should replace all the instrument panel lights, that way I won't have to worry about them going out. So with that in mind, I also want to get LEDs to replace them, that way they would never burn out I found these that are drop in replacements for type 74 instrument lights: http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/74-x.html Different available instrument lights... http://www.superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html To add another question now... Are these the correct instrument lights? #74 was the part for the light that I found. Also, if I get these, should I get the HP (high power, 6 lumes) ones, or the normal (2 lumens) ones? I always tend to go with brighter must be better, but I don't know if it would be too bright and overpower stuff, meaning that I would have to turn them down, but turning it down also dims everything else that isn't as bright, therefore possibly making everything else super dim and unusable. so has anybody used LED's in this manner before? Maybe I will just order a set of both and then return the other set or just keep it... it's only $20 at the most What do you all think?
  10. So today I decided to go out and try to find why recently I have been smelling antifreeze when my vents blow, so I topped off my radiator and went for a drive. Well, when I got back, my passenger side was flood with coolant, so I think that it's heater core replacement time Damnit. I just got the car, oh well. I then immediately jumped on here and searched for a how to or something like that. I got this: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27537&highlight=EA82+Heater+core Sweet, a how to. Half the problem solved. So then it was off to find a heater core. I want to get a new one because I am going to be keeping the car a while, so I want to replace hard to replace stuff with new. This is what I have found. I found one at thepartsbin.com: http://www.thepartsbin.com/repsite/subaru~heater_core~reparts.html There are a couple of options, but it looks like the any of the ones that are 7-1/4 x 5-1/2" x 2", Inlet Size Of 5/8", Outlet Size Of 5/8 will fit. Am I correct? I haven't been able to find an exact one for a 1990 loyale turbo wagon, but it looks like all the other ea82's take this same size. I then headed over to ebay to see what was there. I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280412305759&viewitem=&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2&category=33548 I then found out that the demensions are the same as the others ones, so would this one fit? It's half the price, so it seems like a good deal, but I don't know. So my questions are these: 1. Am I correct about replacing the heater core? Sounds like it but I am not sure. 2. Is 7-1/4 x 5-1/2" x 2", Inlet Size Of 5/8", Outlet Size Of 5/8 the correct size for my 1990 loyale turbo, and will the one from ebay work for me? 3. Has anyone had any luck with ordering one off of ebay, or should I spend the extra $30 for the other one from thepartbin? I think that just about does it. Thanks in advance for the help!
  11. tube... I am not really sure what size...
  12. I am not really in a hurry, I am just trying to get some ideas on where to go to look. So you don't have to rush anything Thanks for checking! I am also wililng to pay, just not a bunch
  13. I have only taken apart the driver and passenger doors, but there is just a connector for the wiring on the panel, so undo the connector and the panel is free from the door, super easy. This was on the front, but I don't see the back being any different from the passenger door... I have not done a motor swap though so I don't know on that one. I just wanted a couple of backups from a car that hasn't sat outside for who knows how long and been torn into by who knows who, that's why I got the motors from the dude on here. At least my chances of getting a good motor are better that way
  14. They look like they have a bunch of stuff, and still in business I will have to give them a call and see about their scrap. Either way it looks like I would be able to buy whatever I need new from them as well. I will keep them in mind. Thanks for the link!
  15. If you are looking for a used window motor, I am picking up two from a user on the board off of a car going to the junk yard, so you might be able to talk him into pulling the others for you. Here's the thread http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104448 Just a thought...
  16. I might drive by today as well. I don't have to work, and don't have any plans... Post back if you do drive by, and I will as well. I have heard good things about this place, but google said it was closed, sad times
  17. Sounds like a worn out motor to me. My passenger side on my MR2 does the same thing. In fact, it will randomly stop working with the window rolled down!! Come to find out it was just a weak motor and it would get stuck if the window went all the way down because it didn't have to power to over come the weather stripping. But that's on a toyota, not a subie, so I ya, take that for what it's worth You could also check the ground and the wires on the motor to make sure that your connections are good and solid and you don't have a loose connection. You could also try connecting the window motor directly to the battery and see if it's any better. That way you rule out the connection/wires in the car as the culprit. That's about all I got.
  18. I google searched, but didn't check out the physical phone book. I should give that a shot, now to just find one :-p
  19. Thanks (again), good to know. I think I am one of the few that actually like the 4EAT and will keep it after doing an EJ swap. For my DD needs, the auto is great! I will keep that on the back burner...
  20. Ahh, ok I thought maybe it was an acronym or something Thanks for the link. I will have to check it out for sure. Looks like some good times for sure!
  21. I called them, phone number is disconnected and google says the place is closed I might drive by just to check it out... Cheap is always relative I don't want to spend lots of $$$ on steel. That's about it. Thanks for the tip about CL, I will have to check it out.
  22. Hello all, I hope this is the right place to post, I couldn't really find another fitting place... I am fairly new to the Olympia area and I am looking to build a custom front and rear bumper for my loyale, but I am at a loss on where to look for scrap metal. I am trying to build them on a budget, so I would like to find some places that have scrap metal for cheap. Any ideas of where to start would be great, thanks!
  23. ?? Am I missing something ??
  24. Hey all, I am somewhat new to the olympia area, and I really haven't done any wheelin' at all and would like to start. I know that there has to be some good places that are not very far from Olympia, I just have no idea where they are. So I am looking for someone down here who would like to go wheelin' with me some weekend and show me some cool spots in this area. Keep in mind I am a noob when it comes to wheelin' and my car isn't lifted either. It will be, just not right now I am just trying to get my feet wet in the whole wheelin' thing. Anyone want to help a noob out Let me know, Donald
  25. I have installed aftermarket power door locks in my wagon a few years ago, and all the actuators where the same. Following that logic, the rear hatch should be the same as all the others, but I really don't know. Also, you can go buy a new actuator from car toys or any car stereo store for pretty cheap and wire it into the system. That's what I would do. Leave the stock stuff alone, and just add an actuator to the driver door, and then wire in the keyless entry. My 2 cents...
