Forza Motorsport 5's Car Pass Adds 60 Cars to Your Garage
Since you know getting Forza Motorsport 5 will mean downloading a bunch of car packs anyway, Turn 10 Studios is offering a Car Pass to get the content at a discount.
According to the official Forza Motorsport website, a slew of new car packs will be headed down the chute for Forza Motorsport 5 in the six months following launch. Each month will feature a new car pack, which net you 10 cars for use in the game. You'll be able to experience these cars in Forzavista as well, meaning you can explore the outside of the car, the interior, check out the engine and even learn about the car's history. And of course, you'll be able to customize it to your liking.
In order to save money on these downloadable cars, you can grab the Forza Motorsport 5 Car Pass, which will allow you to get the six add-on packs at a discounted (but unknown) price. The site also teases a very special inclusion in the first add-on pack, so we'll update you on it as more information is made available.
Forza Motorsport 5 will launch with the Xbox One on Nov. 22.

More than art: Kluge-Ruhe works do double-duty
Here's a novel thing about Charlottesville: We actually have a moderately sized gallery devoted entirely to Aboriginal artwork. It's true. If you're willing to brave car-dealership hill– Route 250 east– you can find the Kluge-Ruhe (kloo-gie roo) gallery at the end of Peter Jefferson Place. It's not far at all— take a right just past the DMV.
The gallery is just the sort of thing locals off-handedly bring up when their out-of-town acquaintances want to know what makes this place special (down the list, of course, from Monticello and assorted Jeffersoniana).
The Kluge-Ruhe is more than just a handy conversational reference, however. Yes, it lacks certain shopping mall charm, and yes again, there isn't much to buy there. But you aren't likely to find a larger collection of tree bark paintings anywhere else.
In short, you might want to think about going sometime. And you may want to go sooner rather than later if you want to catch the gallery's recent impressive exhibit, "Water Country."
Not surprisingly, water holes are pretty important things for people who live in and around deserts. This is certainly true for Aboriginals, who include water holes prominently in their mythology and subsequently, their artwork— a fair, recent sampling of which is on display at the Kluge-Ruhe.
There are undoubtedly beautiful things happening in these paintings, but what gives the work its energy is its combination of several functions, some strictly visual and others utilitarian. The paintings work on an aesthetic level, but they also double at times as charts, maps, and storytelling aides.
David Malangi's "Yathalamarra Waterhole" looks a little dark and foreboding at first glance. After all, the painting keeps a big black blot lined with inward-bending vertiginous white stripes at its center, pushing all the cross-hatching, earth tones, and water lilies to the far corners.
For Americans of a certain age, it may be hard not to think of the opening action sequence in Return of the Jedi, but for the artist, the painting references a specific water hole from a story his mother told him, a geographic location that also resonates with mythic energy.
Most of the paintings here include traditional colors (white, brown, tan, black) with traditional media (bark), though there are a few concessions to modernity. Some artists, for example, have traded the bark for canvas and oil paints. But even these paintings preserve a continuity of style and function that grounds them in the community and culture.
"Water Country" runs through January 18 at the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Gallery, 400 Peter Jefferson Place. 243-0234.

Exhibition: Balancing Act | Christyl Boger
Boger's work is interested in the balancing act of the human animal caught between impulse and control, individual versus group, and the "fragile, vulnerable veneer" of our shared cultural behavior. Her work exists at the confluence of high and low art, of traditional figurative sculpture and domestic decorative figurines. Her works are caught between irreverent display and self-conscious concealment, shifting between vulnerable and suggestive states of being.

NSP's Global Marshall Plan: Moving Forward!
by: Rabbi Michael Lerner on December 18th, 2013 | 2 Comments »
Great news!
Congressman Keith Ellison, who represents Minneapolis/St Paul in the U.S. House of Representatives, introduced a resolution in effect endorsing the NSP version of a Global Marshall Plan into the House of Representatives as H Res 439. It was referred to the Republican controlled Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives. Please read the resolution below and send thanks to his legislative aide Vic Edgerton: email@example.com or:
-Call Keith Ellison's Minnesota office at 612-522-1212(HoursM-F9:00 AM to 6:00 PMCentral Time)
-Call his Washington Office at 202-225-4755(HoursM-F8:00 AM to 5:00 PMCentral Time)
-Tweet Keith @KeithEllison- He actively uses Twitter and frequently interacts with constituents who send him questions or comments
Many people have been talking about what a huge difference it would make in national discourse if Congressman Ellison were to run for the Democratic nomination for president in place of tired and boring centrists like Sec. of State Kerry, former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, and vice President what's-his-name? We don't take stands on elections, but we do know that this country badly needs a change in public discourse, and Keith Ellison as chair of the Progressive Caucus of the House of Representatives has shown himself to be a very powerful articulator of an alternative way of thinking. And Congressman Ellison is one of the very few spiritual progressives to have national name recognition! In the historical moment when Pope Francis denounced global capitalism and over a dozen states have passed laws legalizing gay marriage, don't be so sure that you (or the pundits) really know what is "realistic" and what is not!! Remember: You never know what is possible until you spend your time and money fighting for what is desirable. Just saying….
In the House of Representatives,December 11, 2013 ,Mr. Ellison submitted the following resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs:
RESOLUTION H Res 439
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that a Global
Marshall Plan holds the potential to demonstrate the commitment of the
United States to peace and prosperity through poverty reduction in the
United States and abroad.
Whereas after World War II, the United States established a program to provide
for the reconstruction of Europe, named after General George C. Marshall
and commonly referred to as the "Marshall Plan";
Whereas by providing assistance to Europe through the Marshall Plan, the United
States recognized the direct link between economic growth and political
Whereas in 1948, United States financial support of the Marshall Plan
represented a generous 13 percent of the Federal budget;
Whereas the Marshall Plan made possible new measures of international
cooperation by promoting European economic integration which has
enhanced the security, freedom, and prosperity of the United States and
the world;
Whereas the United States established foreign assistance programs, as prescribed
by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, with a goal of the
"encouragement and sustained support of the people of developing
countries in their efforts to acquire the knowledge and resources
essential to development and to build the economic, political, and
social institutions which will improve the quality of their lives";
Whereas in announcing the Millennium Challenge Account on March 15, 2002,
President George W. Bush stated "The advance of development is a
central commitment of American foreign policy. As a nation founded on
the dignity and value of every life, America's heart breaks because of
the suffering and senseless death we see in our world. We work for
prosperity and opportunity because they're right. It's the right thing
to do.";
Whereas the World Bank reports that 2,400,000,000 people worldwide live on less
than $2 per day;
Whereas the United States has one of the highest levels of poverty among
industrialized countries;
Whereas the United States should also work toward improving the life of its own
poorest population, as 15 percent live below the Federal poverty level;
Whereas 1,650,000 households in the United States are in extreme poverty, as
defined by each person living on less than $2 per day;
Whereas there are more than 47,000,000 persons living on incomes less than the
Federal Poverty Level, including nearly 11,000,000 African-American
persons, nearly 2,000,000 Asian persons, and more than 13,000,000
Hispanic persons;
Whereas at the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000, the United States
joined more than 180 countries in committing to work toward the United
Nations Millennium Development Goals to improve life for the world's
poorest people by 2015;
Whereas more than halfway to the 2015 deadline to achieve the Millennium
Development Goals, major advances in the fight against poverty and
hunger have begun to slow or even reverse as a result of the global
economic and food crises, a progress report by the United Nations has
Whereas empowering people in the United States and abroad to support themselves
will provide a solid foundation for global economic recovery;
Whereas the economic gap between the rich and the poor is even greater today
than it was following World War II, when the United States Congress
deemed the Marshall Plan essential to the security of the United States;
Whereas reducing poverty may assist in warding off harsh conditions that
extremists may exploit to rally support for political violence;
Whereas United States citizens and nongovernmental organizations have proposed a
new Global Marshall Plan, including–
(1) providing increased funding to eliminate poverty, homelessness,
hunger, inadequate education, and health care domestically and globally in
addition to restoring the global environment;
(2) revising existing trade and other agreements in which the United
States is currently involved so that such agreements favor improving the
lives of the poor around the world, and approaching future agreements with
like intent; and
(3) providing training to children and adults worldwide in techniques
of nonviolent communication, diversity, environmental sustainability,
family and parental support, stress reduction, emergency health techniques,
diet and exercise, and caring for others who are in need of help; and
Whereas a Global Marshall Plan, embracing a strategy of generosity, would
reaffirm the United States commitment to ending global and United States
poverty: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives
(1) the elimination of poverty and hunger should remain key
foreign and domestic policy goals for the United States;
(2) a Global Marshall Plan holds the potential to transform
development assistance in a manner that would significantly
reduce poverty; and
(3) the President should implement a Global Marshall Plan
to increase United States assistance towards the elimination of
[Now it's in your court--please get your local city council, state legislative representatives, and your Congressional reps to publicly endorse the Global Marshall Plan and to endorse H Res 439. You can download the full version of the Global Marshall Plan at www.tikkun.org/GMP. Or, if you don't feel you "know enough" to do that, come to our Spiritual Activist Training (information and registration at www.spiritualprogressives.org/training)--you'll be glad you did.]

B7658-001: Catching Growth Waves in Emerging Markets
EMBA-NY Friday/Saturday Electives, Menu D
Credit hours: 3.0
Instructor: Rajeev Kohli; Alonso Martinez
The term emerging markets encompasses a plethora of countries with more than half the world's population, an enormous variety of cultures, climates and levels of development, from the BRICs to Sub-Saharan Africa. After decades and even centuries of lackluster economic performance, they are now the fastest growing markets in the world. Every relevant player in the business world is striving to capture this growth. Defining a strategy for where, when and how to invest is a major challenge in the complex and fast moving world of emerging markets.
This course is about improving the odds of placing winning bets in emerging markets, by thinking strategically about the waves of opportunities that arise as countries develop. The underlying theory for this course is that, in spite of the many apparent differences, emerging markets develop by following common patterns that result from similar priorities, needs and wants of consumers. As a result, development tends to follow certain predictable paths. Understanding these patterns gives foresight of which opportunities are ready to be fostered, or are likely to emerge, in which markets.
The objective of this class is to develop capabilities to think strategically about capturing growth in emerging markets. The aim is to combine the development of a conceptual framework with real life consulting projects that will define a strategy in an emerging market for a specific client opportunity. An additional benefit of this class is to gain some basic consulting skills, including framing and defining the scope of the strategic opportunity to be analyzed; developing hypothesis and defining the analysis to address them; gathering the right data and information; synthesizing information to drive key conclusions; and presenting well structured recommendations and conclusions.

PHILADELPHIA, PA – An American artist has spent the last 14 years carving celebrity faces out of phone books!
Fourteen years ago, Alex Queral was out looking for wood for a new sculpture, when he suddenly noticed all of the out-of-date phone books being thrown out. It dawned on him that these books could be put to better use, so he collected some and took them home to practice carving.
Queral has since made a reputation for himself for the uncanny portraits of celebrities he is able to find in the pages!
So how does he do it? He sketches the person's face on a piece of paper and lays it over the phonebook. Using a razor blade, he then begins to carve away at the thousands of pages to create the 3-D portrait! Queral is now able to do about two per month.
Queral has had three solo shows to display the phonebooks, as well as a recent joint Obama display for his new portrait:
Do you like his portraits?

Most couples who live together know that they can get on each others' nerves sometimes. Now imagine a situation where you and your partner are living together in just 140 square feet.
It's not for everyone, but Chris and Malissa Tack have made it work. They gave up their high-tech lives in 2011 and condensed their world into a "tiny house" in the town of Snohomish, Wash.
The Tacks say that living in such close quarters has actually made them more courteous to one another, they told the Huffington Post.
Chris now works as a photographer and Malissa as a freelance 3D artist. The couple shared some photos of their tiny living space, which they designed themselves.

- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup light sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Very thin lime slices, cut in half
- Very thin lime peel strips
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Spray 9-inch springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides with vegetable oil spray. Mix graham cracker crumbs and butter in medium bowl until blended. Press crumbs over bottom and 1 inch up sides of prepared pan. Refrigerate crust.

As a warning, it's not cool to stalk people so don't be doing it.
I mean really if you have to stalk someone you probably will never have a relationship with them anyway loser!
So the tools is located in the menu structure under Digital Forensics, or through the
/pentest/misc/exiftool/ directory.
This screen shot shows the default output when calling the command.
root@bt:/pentest/misc/exiftool# ./exiftool
|From exiftool
You will need to read the README in order to learn more information.
If you want to just test the tool out, you can use the provided .jpg to do so.
The command would be
root@bt:/pentest/misc/exiftool# ./exiftool t/images/ExifTool.jpg
|From exiftool
The above photos only shows a portion of the output. To see the rest you will need to run the tools yourself.
There is a lot of information that could be gained from this test, but in reality the tool author has already sanitized anything of value.
The only thing that is really left is camera information. Boring at best. So let's grab a few photos from the web and see what they can give us.
Ok so to help keep the innocent that way, I won't be linking or giving away too much on the actual photos, I downloaded.
But they are easy to find thanks to social media 2.0.
From the next photo we can parse quite a lot of data out of it.
root@bt:/pentest/misc/exiftool# ./exiftool /tmp/1444432405-37422182c96b551a67f534ead5532.4c63f758-scaled.jpg
|From exiftool
So photos 3 shows some generic information on from the camera, we can determine roughly the type of phone in this case a Motorola Droid X
|From exiftool
But, in photo 4 bingo, we now have the information from the GPS. So we now know exactly where our target is located, at least at the time of the photo being taken. But by looking at the same information from several photos we maybe able to determine patterns in our targets behavior.
So here is the pertinent data given up by our photograph. 28 degrees 26' 26.00" N 81 degrees 28' 26.00" West
There are many websites to include Google maps to help you put this info into something more familiar, like addresses. Depending on the phone or camera being used this information can be turned off. Which is kind of a smart thing to do.
So that's about it. There are several ways to gain this information from photos, and this is one of tools, that is included in BT to do it.

Chevrolet TrailBlazer Speedometer
I was driving I-70 the other day, looked down and noticed that my speedometer showed well past 120MPH when I obviously was not going that fast. I pulled over, stopped the truck, and my 0 speed was shown as 90MPH. I turned off the key thinking that the system would reset, and when I turned it back on I seemed to gain back about 5MPH, so my 0 speed was now shown as 85MPH. Over the next few days it eventually got back to 0MPH through normal usage and it's been okay since. I recently when on a long trip that was about 90% cruise control and had no problems. Any ideas what the problem was and my chances of having this recur?
saidian Posts: 1My wife was driving our '03 Trailblazer LT (52,200 miles)when the speedometer showed her doing 110 mph. Had to wait a week be finally took it to the dealer. :confuse: The dealer told us that it was the motor in the panel and the panel would have to be replaced. At the same time we where having problems with the AC/Heat fan control (wouldn't work on 5 occasionally) and was told there was a short in the Fan Control Module. Total repair bill for both, $649.02. GM Service told me that I have to pay for the repairs as I'm out of warranty. Thing is, I've had it in to 2 different dealers on 3 separate occasions for the fan and they couldn't find the problem. Now that I'm out of warranty they won't pay for the fix. Convenient, huh! :mad: Speedometer fails at near 50,000 miles and they don't take responsibility let alone failures during warranty. Criminal. They know there's nothing the average Joe can do. My suggestion, save your self the aggravation and buy something other then a GM product.0
I have been having the same problem but with my tach., It would read higher than the rpm's of the engine and never go back to "o" when the engine was shut off. I've tried disconnecting the positive on the battery to reset the computer,This worked one time and now the gauge stays up at around 7000 rpms. I've replaced the fuse and that did not solve the problem. I have a 2004 TB-EXT/72K and the only other problem was when the cruise control would not work while on a trip,but when I stopped for the night it was ok the next day. I think its in the multi function column but the garage is puzzled. :confuse:0
manda2 Posts: 1My 2004 is having similar problems except my speedometer and rpm both show 0 in the cold weather and won't start working until the weathers about 60 degrees. From what I've read it has to do with the cluster but I'm going to complain to chevy and see if I can get them to something about it. My husband works at a car place and says lots of chevys have problems like this and it would really help if I could get people to tell me if they have problems when I write to chevy. Thanks0
jworkman Posts: 27I work in a GM dealership, in the parts dept, and we replace abot 10 instrument clusters a week. They are expensive (300-500 dollars just for the cluster, depending on model), they are annoying, and they are JUNK. And there is really nothing to do but replace them when they go bad.
And if you are out of warranty, throwing a fit in the service dept. won't get it fixed any cheaper, I promise you.0
goodgirl71 Posts: 1I've noticed when the weather is cold my 2004 TB's speedometer will either read 0 or it will shoot up to 90mph and will stay there but as the weather warms up, it will eventually reach back to 0mph. The first time I noticed this, my car was at 55K miles. The second time this happen my car was at 57K miles. Both times this happen it snowed in my area.
Talked to a guy that used to work at the Chevy service department and he said that it was a common problem with 04 Chevy's. The speedometer cluster can cost between $300-500 to replace. The cheapest I've found online was between $175-280 (doesn't include labor).
I've been searching online to see if it was a recalled product but haven't found any info yet.0
Unfortunately, Chevy made a poor decision with their choice in their instrument panel. My mother, who drives an '03 Suburban, and myself (an '04 trailblazer) both lost our speedomters between 39k-41k (I am wondering if Chevy has done this on purpose, it seems to go out as soon as your warranty expires). :mad: I have since lost my RPM too. There is NO recall on this item, and yes, the cost is $300-500 depending on the dealership. I have driven many cars (and Chevys) and have never seen the issues I have seen with the newer model trucks and SUV that Chevy is producing. It is a tragic disappointment to our American Made motor company that is going to cost them dearly in the long run.... :lemon: :lemon:
Not a fan of Ford here but at least they acknowledge and correct their errors....Unlike Chevy.0
P.S. It truly has nothing to do with the weather, I am in Southern California and some days my speedometer appears to be close to accurate, other days it points STRAIGHT DOWN! Weather could be the same, it doesn't matter.0
Hi manda2, First it was the tach, Now it's the speedometer. Went crazy for about 2 weeks and now it works fine. Waiting for the next time for it to go out. Again the garage can not figure it out, They just want to replace it. The hole cluster. The way it looks now the rest of the gauges should start acting up. The temp. out side was in the 50's when it went out.
So I'm still confused and waiting on a good reason to replace the hole cluster
It has to be something stupid thats causing this to happen.
Good Luck/Let me know0
handyman825 Posts: 1in response to speedometer cluster problems, it seems to be a big prob with chevy trucks & suvs. The prob is a stepper motor that is behind instrument panel, one for each needle.
I fixed my own cluster with one i bought on-line for about ten bucks and a soldering iron. The guy will also rebuild it for you if you aren't confident to do it yourself. Look under "stepper motor for (your vehicle)speedometer cluster"0
bob413 Posts: 2How do I get in touch with this stepper motor guy?0
morra Posts: 2I had my truck for 2 yrs. My TB speedometer is now dead, it lays in a dead area. At 1st it would have a delay in starting up when I was taking off then it will jump to were it needed to be at then it will about 100mph when I was going 50mph. I tried a couple of times I tried to reset the speedometer by taking the positive cable off the battery but you can only do that so many time. I had a mechanic check out thinking it was the sensor but to no avail it was the eletrical wiring that is the problem. I had taken the TB to a dealer but they are wanting atleast $6000.00 to repair. Oh my, I did not win the lottery. I just drive real careful & guess on the speed hopefully not to get a speeding ticket. Is there any resolution to repairing this? Can anyone help me. :confuse: :mad: ">link title0
burdawg Posts: 1,524I think you need to visit a different dealer. $6000 to repair this type of problem is ridiculous, unless there's something else wrong that we not being told of.0
dtravao Posts: 1I own a 2003 trailblazer and have been expierencing this problem since shortly after I bought it. The dealer had told me that they could not find the problem since it always seemed to work when I took it in. This year my gas gauge completely failed and no longer works. I was finally able to get the problem diagnosed but now I am passed my waranty so they will not fix it. GM has just sent out letters to 03-04 Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban and Avalanche owners extending a waranty on their clusters for this exact problem, I have been on the phone with them for two days and all they tell me is that they have not had enough complaints to add Trailblazer to the extension. We all need to call and voice our complaints even if you have since had it fixed.0
matt3680 Posts: 1I have the same problem with my 2004 Trailblazer. I first called the dealer to see what they would do, which was nothing since there is not even a safety alert for the Trailblazer. So I called Chevy corporate and the person I talked to recorded all my info and told me that not enough people complained about the issue in Trailblazers for there to be any kind of action taken. Knowing this, I agree that everyone that has a Trailblazer with this problem should call Chevy corporate and complain so the company will fix this mistake that they made. I would post the number, but I don't know if I am allowed to by Edmunds.0
stever Posts: 52,462Phone numbers are a problem since they change frequently and someone may try your number in a few years and get something unexpected. And then the person called gets irritated and contacts our help desk.
A link to corporate is preferred since hopefully Chevy will keep their contact info updated there.0
jeffrich Posts: 1I just started experiencing the same problem. It's below freezing in my area for the first time this year and my speedometer is reading a lot faster than it should. As per the encouragement from previous messages, I called and filed a complaint. EVERYONE MUST CALL CHEVROLET AND FILE A COMPLAINT. As per the Chevrolet Customer Service Desk, they must receive a set number of complaints for the same problem before they will issue a recall. What exactly is that number he would not say, or how many complaints have been filed with the same speedometer problem that I reported. Bad news is that the repair will cost approximately 450 dollars. The only hopeful news is that IF Chevy issues a recall, I can be reimbursed the the repair. The number that my dealer gave me was (800) CHEVUSA. Through that number I got (800) 222-1020 which eventually got me in touch with a person. Please call and file a complaint. It will help us all!
:sick: With the news that GM is admitting there is a problem with their instrument panels in the 2003 and 2004 Tahoes, Suburbans, etc....I contacted GM Customer Service (800-630-2438) about my 2004 Trailblazer. They are having me take it in to the local Chevy dealership this week to get it diagnosed ($98 out of pocket no matter what) to see if they will cover it. I will update you once I find out how this turns out, but I would call them...Maybe if we all call, they will issue the same recall/refund policy on our Trailblazers as well.0
P.S. Once the speedometer goes out, the rest of the instrument panel will start to go as well. I have los the speedometer, the tachometer, and now the gas gauge....0
dreamz2sweet Posts: 1Same problem. It started once the temp hit below freezing in my area for the first time this year also. My speedometer was reading a lot faster than I was going, for example it said 120mph when I was going about 10mph. Everyday is different with the wacky speedometer, one day it will read 0mph, the next it will work and so on. I bought it used and it has 83,000 miles on it.
As the previous message states:
"As per the encouragement from previous messages, I called and filed a complaint. EVERYONE MUST CALL CHEVROLET AND FILE A COMPLAINT. As per the Chevrolet Customer Service Desk, they must receive a set number of complaints for the same problem before they will issue a recall."
The number I called was (800) 222-1020 and filed a complaint.
Chevy is aware of this problem, and I even talked to my friend who works at GMC dealership and he said they get 5-10 GMC/Chevy's from 2003-2004 in to replace the speedometer. Everyone just needs to call and file complaints.0
kathfromsc Posts: 1I had the same issue. I found a post on another website that suggested that the problem may be the cruise control sensor. It suggested that you disconnect the battery for five minutes. Out of desperation I followed the instructions and it worked. Just don't use the cruise.0
kiya2jordyn Posts: 2I just brought miy 2005 trailblazer with 59000 miles into the dealer for the speedometer today as well. A week or so ago and out of the blue, the speedometer just fell straight down above the odometer reading. It still moves when the truck does, just upside down. It has been super cold here so maybe that has something to do with it.
The service guy told me he sees it often and the whole panel usually needs to be replaced. That costs about $600. I already called GM customer service and told them about the problem. Of course, they said they see it more in Silverados and Tahoes but if enough people complain about it, they may do something about it.
Please complain if you have this problem so perhaps we can get some help on this very expensive problem. One more thing...has anyone had problems with the Oxygen Sensor going out? I have spoken to more than one person that said around 50000 miles this went out for them. Seems a bit too coincidental that I know more than one person with a Chevy that had this problem.0
My 2003 Trailblazer just rolled-over the 75,000 miles mark at which the extended warranty ended. Shortly thereafter my Oxygen Sensor went out. $200 to replace. 1 week later my tachometer started to malfunction along with the speedometer. It did start to work correctly for a few days but now it is malfunctioning again. The mechanic says it needs the cluster replaced. I don't know what that will cost but it sounds expensive. I will call Chevy and complain today so they have it on record. It now has 78,000 miles. Inspection is due in July and it won't pass if the tach and speedometer don't work so I will be forced to repair it. Any suggestions?0
Call the 800 number I have posted in a previous blog. GM is covering the part and I have to pay the labor. The cost is $150 (much cheaper than the $600 I was quoted prior to talking to GM customer care). I am saving the receipt and will hope that they eventually include the T-blazer in the recall (or I can go to small claims court since by covering the part, they seem to admit there is a problem). My car will be ready to today. Make sure that you call GM and get a claim number. Take it to your closest dealership and give them the claim information. It will take at least ONE FULL DAY for them to fix the problem, so make sure you have other arrangements for transportation. It is taking TWO days to fix mine. They have to replace the entire cluster just for one part of the instrument panel, and they have to log all the hours, odometer reading, etc, etc (per law) so it does take a while. By replacing the entire instrument panel, it should fix everything. BUT CALL THE NUMBER, IT SAVED ME $$$$$$$....0
jrmacdaddy Posts: 1Same problem here. I called GM and explained the problem and that it would cost me $550 or so. I also mentioned I've seen a lot of people complaining and they should be sending out a recall. I told them GM should make this right for all owners. The agreed to pay for the part and I had to pick up the labor. It cost me $115. I dropped my car off at 4:45 and it was done by 7:15.
dwstrand Posts: 2I just moved from Texas to Tennessee a few months ago and my speedometer started acting crazy when it got cold. Saw this forum so I called the 800 222-1020 number yesterday, but didn't have my VIN # handy so they just called back. They politely told me there was no recall on the Trailblazer and when I told them I just wanted to report the problem so maybe if enough people do so they will recall. The guy just laughed and asked if I had any other questions. And they wonder why they just reported the worst quarter in their history. NO CUSTOMER LOYALTY. I want to buy American as much as the next guy. Maybe I'll jump on the Ford bandwagon. At least they show some loyalty. Shame on GM.0
I got it fixed for FREE!!!! I called the number and spoke to GM rep Victoria. She was very nice. I did just what all you said. I told them there was alot on the internet about this problem and they should have a recall. GM needed to make this right. I have been a loyal Chevy customer (or rather my husband has) for years. I told her Strickland Chevrolet in Pearland, TX was the dealer we patronized. She put me on hold, called them, came back on the line and said they would pay for half the cost (total was $450). I agreed. I took the car in. They did a sweep test and determined it was the instrument cluster. They had to order the part, 4 - 5 days. I took it in yesterday and 30 minutes later it was fixed. I went to the cashier and she said "no charge", "Goodwill Warranty". I was blown away! Thanks everyone for your help in this matter.0
jdodge0001 Posts: 3I own a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer, which I love. I love the way it looks, the way it drives, and the overall features it has. HOWEVER, it is a piece of crap. Last Friday, the speedometer malfunctioned like everyone elses, and then today I rolled my window down at the ATM and it wouldn't roll back up. Of course it was raining. If that isn't enough, of course my warranty just expired. The dealership says it is a well known issue, but GM isn't doing anything about it, and it would be a little over 1000 to get fixed. If GM knows this is a problem they need to step up to the plate. I want to buy American made, but if we can't stand behind the products we make then I am crossing over.0
Thanks for the info and the number. Called got my case number and took it in. Cluster is bad just as described by many others on this website. Contacted my call back person at GM and they indicated there was nothing they could do, no warranty, not in their special case consideration. Only option is to file a compliant with NTSB and pay out of my pocket. 2003 Trailblazer just turned over 50k in mileage. Can't wait to sell and get out of GM products. Go Toyota.0
No such luck on my end. Looks like a cool $400 to fix it and GM says so sorry but not on our radar. No goodwill warranty here.0
vader00 Posts: 4Hey, I have been fixing these gm cluster problems for a while now. There are problems with many gm vehicles - all trucks, trailblazers, impalas, montana vans, sunfire, cavaliers, etc.
If you send me your cluster I can fix your gauge issues for $100 for one faulty guage and then an additional $15 for every faulty guage after that.

Subscribe To The Wizard Of Oz Being Converted To 3D In 2013 Updates
I've already subscribed
This year marked some major studio anniversaries, as both Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures celebrated their 100th year of existence. But they're not the only ones with big birthdays. Warner Bros. Pictures, which was established on April 4, 1923, will be enjoying its 90th year of releasing premium movies in 2013 and they will be celebrating in a big way for Blu-ray/DVD collectors.
THR has learned that the studio's Home Entertainment division is planning some major releases next year that celebrate the long history and major impact that WB has had on the filmmaking world. While not all of the specifics were laid out, some of the big plans that they have in the works are a 3D conversion of The Wizard of Oz - which will also get a limited theatrical run prior to the disc release - as well as a 40-film DVD collection of Clint Eastwood's work with the studio. That set will also come with a special documentary about the filmmaker's legacy.
As for their other films, the studio has a number of 20-film DVD collections divided into different categories and "Blu-ray sets include gangster collections, a James Dean collection and others, many featuring films released for the first time in Blu-ray high definition."
Obviously the big announcement here, though, is The Wizard of Oz conversion. The original, of course, was a major film in the transition from black and white to color movies, so in a way it fits, but at the same time you kind of just want them to leave it alone. Leave your thoughts about the situation in the comments below.

Trusting in peace over war is effective diplomacy
The power of pleasant surprise
The election in Iran earlier this month was a shocker: "Rebuke to hard-liners" read one headline. "Iran election yields surprising outcome," read another. Hassan Rowhani, a "moderate" Shia cleric noted for advocating more constructive relations with the West, including an increase in nuclear transparency, won with more than half the vote. Amid increasing tensions between the West and Iran, Tehran's support of Bashar Assad in Syria, and fears of a wider Sunni-Shiite war in the Middle East, Rowhani's election came as welcome news. President Obama commented, "I think it says that the Iranian people want to move in a different direction."
Some observers, including Iran-obsessed leaders in Israel, responded to the election with skepticism — warning that, whatever Rowhani's intentions, his scope of action will be severely limited by Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and the hugely powerful Revolutionary Guard. But Rowhani, taking office in August, replaces the crackpot Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The new president's purposes and power will soon begin to show themselves. Yes, Khamenei and Iran's military elite will press him from one side. But we must not forget the other side: The responses that Rowhani draws from the wider world will press on him as well.
That is where an old question about American foreign policy reflexes comes in. The all-trumping need to demonstrate unflinching resolve in the face of every conceivable threat can itself have unintended consequences, especially if the refusal to flinch becomes the refusal to change. The national security establishment, perhaps for good reasons, makes its assessments and operational plans based on worst-case thinking. Being poised to respond more to bad things than good can seem like the height of prudence.
Yet the result can be an institutional myopia. Positive openings can be missed, and worst-case planning can help the worst case happen.
America's present problem with Iran was exacerbated by a major missed opportunity in 2001. Washington-Tehran relations were still in the "Great Satan" phase — the period of mutual demonization that began with the hostage crisis of 1979-81. The positive surprise came after the 9/11 attacks, when Iranian President Mohammad Khatami declared, "On behalf of the Iranian government and the nation, I condemn the hijacking attempts and terrorist attacks on public centers in American cities which have killed a large number of innocent people. My deep sympathy goes out to the American nation."
It was not just sympathy. Iran decisively supported the US offensive against the Taliban in Afghanistan and signaled its readiness to join in fighting Al Qaeda. But America's old negative reflex reasserted itself. Five months after 9/11, George W. Bush slapped Iran with the "axis of evil" label, setting loose the worst-case dogs again.
But the story can go another way, for the United States has overcome its gravitation toward worst-case scenarios before. Most telling was when Ronald Reagan, defying his hawkish inner circle, found it possible to respond positively to Mikhail Gorbachev's overtures. True, Reagan insisted upon verification as well as trust. But in the Cold War context, the trust he mustered was astonishing. And the Cold War ended.
In contrast, one of Reagan's predecessors had been presented, a generation earlier, with a like possibility when Joseph Stalin died in March 1953. Moscow's Politburo elite immediately pressed Soviet allies in China and North Korea to end the Korean conflict, and sent feelers to Washington, seeking detente. Yet in the United States, domestic anticommunism was at a fever pitch, and President Eisenhower rejected a summit meeting with Stalin's successor. Instead, he escalated American anti-Soviet chicanery — including, fatefully, a CIA coup that August against an elected Iranian government seen as a tool of Moscow.
Worst-case thinking precluded the possibility that the post-Stalin Kremlin could be different. The CIA was blindsided when the Soviet establishment itself denounced Stalin's inhuman legacy. A golden opportunity for an early thawing of the Cold War was missed.
Last year, worst-case thinkers were advocating a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. Even President Obama warned that the window was closing on diplomacy. Yet if any sort of military action had been taken against Iran, this month's surprising electoral triumph of the moderate Rowhani would never have occurred.
Now that Tehran has taken this turn, it behooves Washington to take a turn, too — in the way it imagines the future. The dangerous dynamic of power politics does not always have to go from bad to worse. Acknowledging a positive possibility can make it real.

Supporting lighting and interactive displays in this state-of-the-art renovation, 1.2 million feet of power and low-voltage control wiring bring to life New York's Rose Center for Earth and Space.
There are no seat belts in the Space Theater at New York City's American Museum of Natural History, but some visitors might find them useful. Why? Because in just half an hour, they will zoom from W. 81 superscript st Street in Manhattan to the far reaches of the universe and back.
"We built this virtual world, the largest virtual-reality system anywhere, to take people on a fantastic voyage that even excites scientists," says Dr. James Sweitzer, Director of Special Projects at the new Rose Center for Earth and Space at the north end of the museum site.
Now referred to as a "cosmic cathedral," this magnificent museum was years in the making. What began as a simple renovation for E-J Electric Installation Co., Long-Island City, N.Y., turned into a $210 million, fast-track design build project. The electrical work alone jumped to $21 million by the end of the job, says Tony Mann, president of the electrical contracting firm.
E-J Electric performed all the lighting, power, and communications work for the Rose Earth and Space Center, a state-of-the-art museum built on the site of the world famous Hayden Planetarium. Built in 1935, the structure started to show a few sags and wrinkles after years of heavy tourist traffic. Rather than making surface improvements, Ellen Futter, president of the American Museum of Natural History, decided to have it torn down and rebuilt in 1996.
Replacing the planetarium's original 1930s Art Deco structure, the center includes the Cullman Hall of the Universe, Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth, and centerpiece of the 333,500-sq-ft, seven-floor high glass cube (an 87-ft diameter sphere that houses the Space Theater). The white, aluminum-clad sphere appears to float inside the 95-ft-high glass cube with planets hanging elegantly around it.
With few artifacts to show, the exhibit designers rely on 3-D computer modeling, video walls, and sound loops to reach audiences that range in age, interest, and education. To support the visual and aural stimulation, the project team for E-J Electric Installation Co., Long Island City, N.Y., had to plan out various wiring methods to contain the more than 230 miles of electrical power and low-voltage control wiring needed on this fast-track design/build project.
According to E-J Project Manager Mitchell Olshewitz, as the project developed so did the owner's concept of what the building should do and how it should perform. This methodology had tremendous impact on the electrical scope of work.
As a result, electricians had to work carefully to blend the electrical components into this unique but limiting architectural design. The museum was exceptionally challenging from a coordination standpoint because installers could only run conduits in defined locations. There was limited ceiling and equipment space and severely congested shaft space with the work of the other mechanical trades.
Olshewitz notes that the only electrical and mechanical piping entrance into the spherical planetarium structure is through several horizontal ellipsoidal tunnels. These tunnels had to be manufactured to exacting architectural tolerances with limited space available to trades. He says there was absolutely no room for error, and the team spent many hours coordinating every step because fractions of inches were critical.
"The crawl space under the Space Theater is horrendous," he says. "That's where the structural web for the whole theater sits. The crawl space varies in height between 5 ft to a low point of about 36 in. It is a maze of duct work and mechanical and electrical piping and equipment."
While metal conduit runs and ladder-type cable trays carry much of the wiring, the contractor used wire basket cable tray within wiring closets and electronic equipment rooms. Installers could easily bend the wire basket stock on the job site to conform to field conditions. Olshewitz notes this type of flexibility is critical in today's fast-track design/build construction environment. Now, more than ever before, electrical contractors must make decisions on cable support systems, and use experience and judgement in specifying and setting up cable support hardware.
A particularly interesting part of the job involved placing the fiber optic network cabling. The fiber network uses 96 multimode fibers and 48 single-mode fibers to connect the supercomputer to the Space Theater control console. The electrician/installers received special training from the cable manufacturer to assure low loss splices and connections.
Illuminating the universe. Although the facility makes wide use of standard architectural lighting control systems, it also employs a number of theatrical lighting fixtures. A special lighting control protocol standard, known as DMX 512, controls these fixtures. This system relies on a special cable construction that contains either two or four conductors and a ground. Using a daisy-chain topology, a single cable can support a large number of dimmers. Therefore, it has greater versatility in terms of control and supervision.
The Space Theater uses an ETC Unison theatrical dimming and control system, along with a DMX distribution system for special events. Additionally, an emergency lighting transfer system and contact closure interface provides a link with the life safety and A/V systems. For the pre-show area, the facility uses an ETC architectural control system. A contact closure interface also links the life safety and A/V systems, and a group of alternate source transfer switches serve as a cost-effective means of switching normal power to emergency power.
At the Hall of the Universe, fluorescent light sources illuminate the display panels and cutout texts used within the educational exhibits. About 200 fluorescent circuits serve the displays, and the staff can dim each circuit down to about 1% of output. Thus, in most cases, designers dedicated a 15A branch circuit to a single fluorescent fixture. Since power consumption per circuit is about 300A, most of the branch circuit loads are less than 60W.
Since conventional SCR dimming does not operate well under low loads, the contractor chose special fluorescent dimmer ballast controller cards. Each card receives a DMX signal that can power four 15A circuits. Similar dimmer racks handle incandescent load dimming. The team used low-voltage relay panels with DMX interfaces and relay drivers for controlling power to fiber optic illuminators and LED controllers.
Three 5-ft-deep pits, or wells, located beneath the exhibit hall house these dimmer racks and control panels. Since the pits are too shallow to accommodate full size dimmer racks, the contractor used smaller, custom-designed racks and panels. The exhibit lighting in this area operates through an architectural control system, and a contact closure interface connects with the A/V system and the life safety system.
The lighting around the sphere is especially interesting. Linear fluorescent floodlights mounted in rows above and below the sphere bathe it with a blue glow. Louvered to minimize source brightness, these fixtures use 4-ft, T12 lamps, which have a 20,000-hr average-rated life.
A number of spherical objects placed near the seven-story high sphere illustrate the relative size of the planets and other elements in the solar system. Hung from the ceiling and affixed to railings, they link to educational messages. For example, one plaque says: "If the sphere is the sun, then this 9-in. ball is the earth."
To illuminate these hanging models, the second-floor walkway and other nearby exhibits, 53 ellipsoidal theatrical lighting instruments (with 5ø, 10ø, and 19ø beam spreads) mount on a catwalk 90 ft above the floor. Fitted with 575W long-life incandescent lamps, these fixtures provide narrowly focused illumination. Shielded filament, low-voltage, narrow beam spotlights (integrated into the linear fluorescent lighting fixture rows) light the planet models from below.
This museum is the first major public building to use what we call an "events lighting system," which allows portable theatrical lighting equipment to come in off a truck and hang without stringing out a lot of portable power and control cable across the floor. Recessed floor boxes and wall boxes with custom faceplates pick up 120V and 208V power and control circuits at convenient locations in the Hall of the Universe. This allowed installers to hang up to 20 portable dimmer boxes at any of the lighting positions and plug them into a DMX control station to provide special events lighting.
On large-scale projects like this one, John Ranagan, general foreman for E-J Electric, offers some advice for electrical contractors. First of all, watch the dates that you agree to, especially if you don't have all of the information. Make sure you have a workforce readily available, and coordinate the materials and labor. Work closely with the general contractor, architects, and engineers, and most of all, expect the unexpected.
About six months after the grand opening of New York's Rose Center for Earth and Space, the planetarium continues to attract big crowds. "I think attendance has exceeded expectations, says Olshewitz. "There's a lot of tourists here every single day. There are areas that are still being designed that have not been completed. It's an ongoing process."
Sidebar: Electronic Technology Shines
Housed in the top portion of the 87-ft-diameter sphere is the 432-seat Space Theater. Within this theater, visitors sit in high-backed auditorium chairs with headrests and look up to the images projected on the hemispheric surface. Made of perforated aluminum panels with an off-white color, the dome serves as a scrim for the projected light images. The scrim is several feet in from the outer surface of the sphere, and the space in between the two surfaces contains a network of conduits enclosing miles of power and communications cabling. The space also holds scaffolding and catwalks used for equipment maintenance.
With Tom Hanks narrating, the show starts with an earth-centric look at the Milky Way from a custom-built projector, which sends white light through fiber optic cables to produce the effect of 9100 stars. After these images fade, the second imaging system takes visitors on a dazzling journey through a 3-D universe. These images, produced by a bank of seven high-definition video projectors mounted around the perimeter of the dome, create a fantastic spectacle that guides the viewer through the Milky Way and star systems/galaxies beyond our own.
Producing 7.34 million pixels in combination, the video projectors receive digital data streams from a visual workstation. Equivalent in power to those used by NASA or the largest military research laboratories, the supercomputer, with its 28 processors (along with a large data storage array containing up to two terabytes [2000 gigabytes] of digital information) can simultaneously process 14 gigabytes of data. A fiber optic cable network sends the data from the supercomputer to each of the seven TV projectors, a distance of several hundred feet.
The sound system provides directional sounds, and subwoofer speakers installed at floor level provide a sense of movement and a sensation of "lift off" at the start of the space journey presentation.

Lincoln Town Car Water Leaks
The leak could be coming from,of all places,the firewall where the hood release cable goes thru.That's where mine was.Another area is behind the glove box where the cabin filter sits.Water gets in under the hood cowl,passenger side.Take that off or look behind the glove box.If it's wet,there you go.Mine was wet and I had water coming in thru the firewall.0
preacherav1611 Posts: 1On the passenger side, under the hood near the firewall/windshield. All the way to the left side on the plastic assembly that houses the vent intake, there's a water outlet with a rubber flap on the end. That was plugged up with dirt and leaves. Clean it out so the water can drain, else the water fills up and goes into the vent.0
joew6 Posts: 1I bought a 2004 towncar. Under the carpet in front floor board,passenger side was full of water. I opened glove box and had my wife to pore water from outside around the cowl. Water was coming from what looked like above heater box, leaking on top of heater box. I sealed underneath the cowl, under the bolts, gaskets, etc. Had wife to pore water the next day, after sealant dried, no leak at the same place. Let car stand out in rain(hard rain) with carpet still pulled back, floor board was not wet. Dried out carpet. Put the carpet back down, drove car for 2 weeks found water in floor board again. Took car to car wash with carpet pulled back, ran through car wash, no water in floor board. Must be small leak somewhere under the rubber backing of firewall that I can't see. Rubber backing seems to get wet under it, but not enought to puddle in floor board. Seems to be on extreme right side corner of rubber padding. Seems wet as far as I can feel up underneath it. No water under the kickplate. I need some expert advice on this. Should I reseal the cowl again? I don't think it is coming from there again. any suggestions0
You need to check the firewall by the emergency brake,where it comes in from under the hood.My leak was there.Also,under the hood passenger side,you should lift up the vent type grating there and clean out the opening.Water gets in there too.Behind the glovebox,after yoou loosen it and let it hang down,there is a cabin filter.Reach in there and if it's soaked,that's where your water is coming from.I never would have thought to look by the e-brake,but sure enough.I've know about the ;behind the glove box" thing since the 90's though because they had the same issue back then.0
Hello all. I have read through this entire thread and I am amazed that Lincoln has not had a recall to address this issue. It seems that the passenger side is the most common leak area.
I just purchased a 2000 TC with sunroof. There was a terrible leak from the front straight through to the back on the passenger side. The dealership cleared the vents/drains and sealed up the front air intake. For now, the front passenger side is still dry, but I still have water in the rear passenger side. No where near as bad as it was prior to the fix.
I only saw one mention of the B-pillar possibly being the culprit. I will check that when it stops raining.
My big question is.... is it possible for the front air vent to be leaking with the water running to the rear passenger without actually getting the front wet? Are there channels under the carpeting and jute that would allow the water to flow to the back of the car without being enough in volume to get the front carpeting wet?
I am still not able to determine if it is still residual water from prior tot he sealing, or there is still another leak in the car, albeit much smaller.0
Here's what I have learned and experienced over the last 30 years of Lincoln Town car driving and ownership.All the leaks I ever experienced came from the vent under the right (passenger side) vent right.Lift up the grating thing there and a couple of screws later you'll see it's all clogged up.It gets in thru the area behind the glove box because there's a pollen filter or some kind of filter back there.You'll see it if you lower the glove box and reach behind it.My 99 had the issue as did my 94 .2 different body styles with the same problem.One other area that was a problem with leaking was,believe it or not,the area where the hood release cable goes thru the firewall.That was a pain to find and fix.It soaked my front and back!!!I didn't think it could leak thru there and it took the body shop a week to find,but there it was!!They sealed it up and it was fine thereafter.I'm on my 2nd 2007 and so far no leak issues.0
Thank you for such a prompt response. I have read all of your posts in this thread and I am anxious to get home to check some of the problem areas. I'm hoping it's just residual water that's still spilling to the back, but I have a sinking feeling it is not.
I had a 94 TC that I drove to nearly 150Kmiles. The air suspension went and I just couldn't see putting more money into it. Damn, if I don't miss that car! Perfect car. No problems ever with it!
The dealership did blow out the drains and showed me the drain on the front of the firewall. They also siliconed the vent and gaskets and the leak is extremely small now if it is even still there. I'm just perplexed how the back carpet is wet and the front carpet is fine if the leak is still that front vent. Hopefully it stops raining today so I can go out to look at it. I will keep you updated.0
I had to lift the rugs in both front and back and leave them out for a week to clear up the water and dry it out.There are drain plugs in the floor that got rid of a lot of water when I took them out during the time I had the rug out.Water can run to the back of the car with no problem.Not sure why the front wouldn't be wet though.Maybe the channels in the floor.I had regular suspension put in one of my town cars after the air bags went.It was cheaper to fix and rode just as good.0
OK, it took a while, but I was finally able to get my car into the shop to have a real mechanic look at it.
First off, he found what appeared to be a nail hole blasted through the floor in the rear as someone's half-[non-permissible content removed] attempt to solve the water issue. He also found a few more 'man made' holes that were appareantly part of the solution.
He seam sealed all of the creases around the vents and drains and in the cowling area. He spot welded the holes closed since they didn't belong there in the first place.
And something very important to note. The dealership said they blew out the drains, but it seems the air conditioner drain was not done. He ran the AC on the car for 2 hours and there was no condensation drip from the AC. He blew out the drain and said that it was clogged and full of (Insert creative word here). He was able to follow the rust stains all the way up into the dash board/firewall area where the AC drain is located. He said the water was coming down under the sound dampening material, staying in the floor channels, flowing to the low point under the passenger seat, and evetually to the lowest point in the rear passenger floor.
Results: The front carpet was dry. Under the seat was wet. Back floor was almost standing water above the carpet.
After 2 days of letting the carpet dry out and all of the work he did, I am hopeful it is fixed. I picked it up last night and we have rain all day today. Perfect timing. Hopefully the car is good.
I hope this journey can help some other owners in their quest. The most important lesson though... make sure you have a mechanic that you can trust. I have been going to mine since I was 16 with every imaginable car failure you can think of. Now I think I am fortunate enough to have found another mechanic I can trust.0
mikesea Posts: 1I found my carpets wet today in my 99 Towncar.Pulled the glovebox,ran a hose .Found the plastic cowling .in passenger side engine compartment was allowing water to enter the screened area .What I did was removed the cowling by removing 2 nuts and the 5 or 6 screws.OH ,also the plastic schoud that his the windshield needs 2 come off 2./There are 2 long body pins holding it in place.What i found was ,the foam seal was totally dried out and gone.I replaced the seal with black poly seam seal.Totally expect to find problem gon.Especially after the hose test confirmed the leak.Good luck.Its an easy job.0
puftuy1 Posts: 1seems like this model car had ALL kinds of leak issues (for a lot of years) you said so far so good with your "07...... i have owned quite a few of these cars and ........your '07 is going to have one soon....... my '07 JUST went through it (found this one under the right side gasket under the wiper....good luck dude0
jhnnyg Posts: 1I recently bought my neighbore 2003 Town Car. Great conditon until I statrted to vacuum it out and detail it. The passenger side rugs were soaked. Initial I used a wet vac to pick up the water and thought I got it all until I lifted the rug and noticed the rubber backing was soaked still like a sponge. Had no choise but to pull out the carpets and let them dry. Was a good opportunity to shampoo them. Now in the process of locating the source of the leak. Thabks for all your insights. Will keep you posted.0
Listen,the leaks are more of an inconvenience then anything else.Yes,they should have addressed the matter long ago in the 90's,but they didn't for whatever reason.So,here's where you look and should find the source. First,under the hood,passenger side where the wiper is.Remove the grating there,a few screws does the trick.Take out any leaves or debris stuck in there. You can also remove your glove box door and stick your hand behind there and feel the cabin filter.If it's soaked,you need not look further. It's the passenger side thing I just explained.On the other hand,if that's not it,look where the hood release cable goes thru the firewall.That's another source of leakage.Surprised the hell out of me when they found that on my other Lincoln.I pulled the rugs up and pulled out the drain plugs in the floor to let the water out.There was lots of it in the car.Not to mention I forgot to close the sun roof in a rain storm!!lol.So, check those two places and you should find the source.Good luck.Still the best made American car out there!0
ortauto Posts: 13Weather stripping dries out over time and cracks, especially in hot climates. All your weather stripping has very small holes in it every 6 inches or so. Buy some heavy duty silicone in the red and white CRC spray can. Attach the red straw, insert in those little holes and spray. Keep putting it in until it has soaked the rubber. Do it again when it starts drying out, usually around a year. For two bucks you weather stripping will last forever and It'll keep the rubber like new.0

Silverton - did you ever find out the cause? Having the same problem on a 2007 LTC. I looked at mine and appears the gasket under the chrome trim assy at rear of trunk is not sealing at the top letting water in. I plan to take it apart this weekend0

"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness."
— Dalai Lama
It's a rare day when I'm lost for words. Today was one of those days.
I was on the receiving end of an act of kindness — a simple but profound act — that touched the deepest place in my heart.
I had ridden my motorcycle, dubbed Kindness One, from Los Angeles to the center of Pittsburgh on a journey that began Aug. 10 and is fueled (and funded) only by the kindness of strangers. I had spent a few unfruitful hours trying to drum up some support for my trip.
Although I had met some kindhearted people, no one was willing to take a chance and put a stranger up for the night. I was feeling a little despondent (as tends to happen after a dozen rejections) and then an angel popped into my life.
I was walking through a downtown park and crossed paths with a man named Tony who exuded a positive vibe. We struck up a conversation. He told me he was homeless and lived with a few friends in a dilapidated garage. To my astonishment he offered to let me stay the night with him. He fed me, gave me a new set of clothes and recounted his stories of hope and hardship. He had practically nothing, and what little he did have, he gave to me.
His most important gift, though, was a piece of his heart. I told him he was the wealthiest man I'd ever met because real wealth does not come in the form of a hefty bank account. It's more a full heart and an overflowing spirit, both of which Tony had in abundance.
So, Tony, thank you for bringing me into your life and letting me sleep beside you on a windy and rainy summer night. I cherish the time we spent together and am grateful that our paths crossed.
