That is the sensor for the temp that shows up on your radio display

I have a clunk when I shift between any gear, hot or cold. I thought it was my driveshaft so I replaced it with a 1 piece unit. It did help a little but while I was under the car down at the rearend, I jiggled the pinion back and forth with the driveshaft out. I got about 3/4 inch of play and...

It worked for me but mine is an 08.

Have you checked the plug with a multimeter? I would assume there should not be voltage there until the brakes are hit. If there is, then perhaps you need to see why. The 3rd brakelight should just be a dumb light right? There isn't any logic or circuitry in it is there? I am like you...

No I know you can't just stand on it and expect it to hold. The other day I was kinda finding the point at which I lose it. I slowly leaned on it in 2nd. I got maybe halfway down and was getting sideways. I always though Nitto was one of the best so that is good info. I have also been...

Awesome! I love the unpredictability of people like that.

I think George Carlin said it best. He said, the earth has huge natural disasters, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. After people have disappeared and the whole earth is just wild again, you think it gonna care about some plastic bags?

And, I read in Wired magazine a couple of years ago that if you buy a new Prius, you have to drive it 100,000miles to make up for all the greenhouse gasses created when the Prius is built. They said you would be better off buying a 10 yr old Tercel that gets 35mpg and driving it. Now I think...

Yup incandescents get so hot. I have seen them melt the taillight housing. LEDs may not get that hot but the driver does. The fans are there to keep them working because they will quit real fast. Unfortunately technology for cool but bright light just isn't there. I have thought about...

Man! Why can't I have someone waiting for me like that! That would be awesome. ::Sigh:: Good response Marc to the hippies, that really made me laugh out loud!

Yea darn that blinker fluid, I hate it when it goes low! LOL So the thing with LEDs is you gotta remember they are just diodes. And if you know anything about electronics, you know the diode is usually the thing that blows when something goes wrong. They are also used to protect circuits...

YAY!!! LOL I LOVE IT!!! Every time see a Prius I have to get on it to waste the extra gas they "think" they are saving. Way to go man!!!

Hey Walter, it looks like the fan is on the LED driver and that's what's getting hot. This is pretty common when you are asking a LED to be more than backlighting. There are ways around it in some set-ups but I guess they couldn't get the brightness they wanted without some higher drawing LEDs.

Yea I guess I need to check with Bama. And now that I am thinking about it, you are right, the LCA relo isn't going to change pinion angle. Ok so what you say makes sense, perhaps I will give that a shot. Hmm....

+1 (I think I am doing that a lot tonight) Walter is right! Get to know the car first. Then when you upgrade something, the difference will be noticeable and worth it. Does that make 4¢?

+1 My Bamachips tune makes all the difference in the world. Quite a noticeable difference over stock.

So I don't have adjustable LCAs but I do have an adjustable UCA, shouldn't that really do the same thing? But I thought the pinion angle wasn't for traction but for taking the stress of the u-joint on the driveshaft. Currently the pinion is -2.5°

So I put a 1 piece driveshaft (Shaftmasters) in to try and get rid of the clunk. While I had the shaft out I had the parking brake on and the pinion would rotate both directions a 1/4 inch. It is really loose. So unfortunately it's backlash. But the driveshaft did tighten things up, it still...

I hadn't thought about a diff, maybe I will since who ever did my 4.10s left and unbelievable amount of backlash. It clunks with every shift. And yes I certainly don't want to step back down in gearing (numerically.) Thanks kooldawg. I really don't have an issue getting it out of the hole...

Shakrr, I didn't have any issue with the e-brake. The Shaftmasters is a 4" shaft too. I set my pinion angle to -2.5 and all is good. No rubbing or anything like that. Where I live there isn't always the greatest roads either. Now I really don't ever run it with 4 people but I do have 2 sons...
