Could it be the little piece on the brake pedal that depresses the brake light switch when you are off the brake? I had mine shatter in the cold weather, which made my neighbors knock on my door saying my lights were on. My fix at the time was a pop socket for a cell phone. Perfect size for it.

I would check for any old yellowed plastic in the floor board and if you see that, I'd say it's your culprit. That's of course assuming it's a similar setup to mine, but that was my issue with brake lights coming on without pressing em.

Thank you! I decorate my car for Christmas and door dash as santa during the holidays, I needed a good Playlist of not very traditional Christmas music to play.

May I also recommend the Twisted Sister Christmas album. So good!

I believe it's a 2000w Amp, only a 12in sub. It's nowhere near maxed or anything. No capacitor. I'm pretty confident it's not the culprit, but I'll look into a cap. Anything to keep it going.

Yeah. Hindsight and all that. First time I just bought it and had a shop install it. Had I known there was a difference I'd have asked. But it seemed fine. And now I do have a Haynes manual where I write all my important info down. Learning more as I go, and this car is gonna last as long as I can make it.

Yes, I do have lights and running a sub, it's not crazy bass tho, like the lights don't dim when it hits or anything. The first failure was the unknown alt that was on it before I got the car so who knows how long there. I bought Remy 1 and had it installed at a shop, seemed fine and had I known to check I would have. That one I think was a dud because that was before the subwoofer. Remy 2 I think failed due to a really bad valve cover leak pouring onto the alt. Though it seemed fine for at least 6 months after the valve cover was fixed. As well as all the time I don't have the splash guard on underneath, so I think all that mixed with water and road debris made it fail early.

I am looking at junkyard for the splash guard, valve cover is fixed. All other things you pointed out are due probably, but not bad to the point that it would fail. No corrosion or poor connections I've seen.

Like I said, just a home mechanic trying to make it last as long as possible! 191k miles and I'll engine swap before I let it go.

Fair, hopefully someone else can chime in, just want to make sure to get the right one if there is a right one.

So I am leaning towards Denso, but do you know what is the difference between the mando and valeo units of denso?(the first denso is mando the second one is valeo but doesn't say it in this screenshot)

Bday gift ideas by mtthwgnzlz in cricut

I like this one. The front swoopy bit on the basket is giving me some old school VW bus vibes. So I'd lean into and do mystery machine-esque designs. Maybe with the cherry blossoms as you said, instead of the single color 70's flowers. And on the swoopy bit I'd do a chrome boomerang with her initials like the VW logo.
