I have a 2000 black FRC (69,000) that I'm going to be putting up for sale early next year but I need to fix a few problems that I have been neglecting. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

1. The A/C led light has gone out. It was very dim for a while and then blacked out. I remember a LONG time ago that there was a guy on here the could fix them,,,,,thus saving a lot of money. Anyone know who this is?

2. New Key Fob: Who has the best deals on these?

3. Tire Sensor: I had this replaced but it still shows "xxx" for the right rear pressure. Once these are installed do they need to be programmed?

4. Front bumber? Anyone have one in good condition that they're willing to part with? I'm going to have the entire car color sanded and touched up so the color doesn't matter.

 

There is i guy on ebay: digital-dash-solutions that a lot of people use. You can get the best deal on a fob from one of the forum vendors. The tire sensor has to be reprogrammed. Cant help you with the front fascia

 

Thanks for the leads.

 

Resetting the Tire Pressure Sensors

1) Turn ignition on

2) Press "Reset" button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages

3) Press and release the "Options" button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank

4) Press and hold the DIC "Reset" button for 3 seconds

5) Press the "Options" button again until TIRE TRAINING message appears

6) Press "Reset" button until the IPC "Learn L Front Tire" message appears in order to begin the programming

7) Install the J41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool (large magnet will do) over the left front valve stem

8) The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed (if this takes more than 15 seconds, pull magnet back and try again, it will give you three tries. Then you must start over)

9) When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed by the IPC messages: -Learn R Front Tire -Learn R Rear Tire -Learn L Rear Tire Programming can be canceled by turning ignition off, waiting 2 minutes with no sensors being learned, finishing all 4 wheels or through the DIC.

If the programming is canceled with less than 4 sensors learned, it will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.


If you are going to paint it anyway, can you not use the one that's on it? If it is torn/ripped, that can be fixed easily.

I fixed the fob tonight by holding the lock/unlock buttons. I've been going without the fob for 6 months not knowing all I had to do was reset it.

I'm going to try programming the TPS in the morning.

Thank you very much for all of the help.
