You know, sometimes being a great mechanic is as easy as closing the trunk
'99 GTP new to us. So figuring out the little things that are going on takes me a while. The other day I took my daughters car out to the parts store. On the way it's starts chiming 4 times every little bit. No lights nothing wrong on the DIC.
So I have been doing a lot of searching this sight and thinking everything from a bad headlight switch to an ignition switch to a new PCM.
I asked my daughter if it was doing it and she said "yea, but it seems like when I hit bigger bumps, but sometimes it does it on smoother roads". So I take it for a drive and I hit one larger bump - chime x 4. Now I get home and notice that the door chimes 4 x when it's open. So after thinking more about it I think it seems like a door or the trunk. I go outside to "shake the doors" but first I try the trunk and WHAT DO YOU KNOW - IT'S OPEN!
Well I am both feeling a little stupid and happy - kinda happy-stupid. It was easy, it's fixed and it's free.
I now know that these trunks are nice and heavy with the spoiler on there and it keeps the trunk closed just enough that you don't know it really unlatched.
