I just inherited a 1995 SE, fully loaded (leather, sun roof, power everything). It's only got 46K on it so I'm looking forward to some good use out of it. Therefore, it seems worth it to me to fix it up a little.
So... here are my questions.
1. When I leave the keys in the ignition and open the door, shouldn't there be a bell? Also, when I leave the lights on I would expect a bell. There is none and I'm worried about leaving lights on / keys in. Is this hard to replace and where would I find a new one?
2. I upgraded the stock cassette deck with a nice Alpine deck that will control my iPod. It's got blue lights and I would really like to switch my interior lights over to blue. Plus, a couple of the door handle lights are not working anyway. How hard is this and do I have to take off the entire door panel?
3. The car is setup for keyless entry and remote trunk release. The remotes and the trunk key were lost before I got the car, so now I have to open the door and pop the trunk / unlock the doors. Since it was wired for this, if I get a remote starter / alarm installed, there should be no problem with the shop installing the remote starter / alarm programming the new remotes to unlock the doors and open the trunk?
4. The fuel door doesn't like to open unless I pop the trunk and use the manual override cable. I've seen this discussed here but it doesn't appear to be the seal around the door. Any other causes?
And finally...
5. Is there any way to add cup holders??? The two that are in the center console that "pop up" don't even clear the leather seats so you can't even open them. I need my coffee in the morning and I would prefer not having to hold it.
Thanks in advance! It looks like this car is a lot of fun and this community is great!
