Bad weekend :(

Well we went to install the clutch and after it was all installed, the fork popped off its track and gave the slave such a shock that it sprung a leak - no clutch pressure now. Tried to limp it 100 miles home with just enough pedal to change gears - half way there something went terribly wrong and it wont go into gear anymore. Pressing on the clutch pedal causes something to contact a rotating part (probably the pressure plate). Thank goodness for AAA (though it took them 2.5 hours because the person who took my call forgot to mention WHERE I WAS).

Power door locks and interior lights quit working. The fuses I checked looked fine.

Steady clicking sound coming from behind the glovebox area every 5 seconds.

NX GENX-2 kit came from a shop in Texas, they quoted me 3 times at $299. Turns out their price was $349. Somehow they figured it was ok to charge me $390 (shipping was only $12).

Anybody looking to buy a 4th gen T/A? I have all the replacement parts to get it back into shape. Ugh.

the problem with the locks , and the clicking is a fautly or loose connection on the BCM, body control module i believe. it happened to me a couple years ago. would only happen when the inside of the car was hot (like sitting in the sun all day). if i turned th AC on for a while it would begine to work.

took it to a dealer and i guess a connection was loose and was actually starting to burn due to the intermitant bad connection. cost me $180 to be repaired...

not sure how hard it is to do yourself.

thanks for the reply teke. tonight i had a few minutes to look into the problem and I started right where you said, locating the clicking sound. i fumbled around with as many connectors as i could, making sure they were secure, but with no success. as a last resort i checked every single fuse regardless of defined purpose and came across the 20A Courtesy fuse...which was a goner. replaced that and seconds later the interior lights came back on...hooray!
