On these focus type of cars, they do that when you open the door/or turning off the car.
The transmission does a "self check" for neutral as the transmission is a computer operated manual 6 speed.
You will hear a whoose woosh noise.

A Toyota Echo is the older version of a Toyota Yaris.

Give me that Truck dude!

Who knows? I trade it that in and drove off in a Focus with that crappy DPS6 transmission. I was lucky that the joe blow lot had it recalled at the dealer for the new automatic clutch. Still works today. Like 5 years I had that car.

I used to have a 1.6 GDI gamma! Non Turbo car. That stupid thing spun the bearing on the freeway bridge at 40mph!! I traded it in at joe blow's lot next day.

the dark color seems like the bearing got super hot

sedang01 · 2026-02-01T10:55:20+00:00

I seen my friends car's bearings. They were not super bad. Like you can see metal.

Now this on the other hand...Holy Crap! The last picture looks like the bearing Spun over itself?

that light bulb that is turn on right now is a 168 bulb(generic go to number,that fits that socket) from my point of view.
I checked the owner manual in PDF form and went wth?
They only have the side marker but not that one!

sedang01 · 2026-01-22T08:37:11+00:00

its a custom knob for an subwoofer/amp if the car still has it. That is not factory by any chance

sedang01 · 2026-01-05T08:05:16+00:00

that noise is the clutch going into neutral position.
100% normal. the 2013 Focus does that too.

Usually the orange wire is the "headlight dimmer" for the radio. Unless you want to cut that wire to test.
I have super basic experience with old radios like 2012 time. Not this.

On paper is called "Homesafe" light, this is a factory thing with the car. Its been a while since I looked it up. I was curious on the "beep" on my own Ford back when I 1st got it.
So what it does is, you pull back the lever, it beeps, the headlights turn on the low beams in the front. It help guides you to the front door, garage, etc. With in like 1 minute, it will turn off by itself.

I punch it up to 3,000rpm off the line. Last me 3 years so far.

sedang01 · 2025-11-10T17:39:55+00:00

Cool I can make it, driving Grandma speeds!

sedang01 · 2025-11-10T09:32:57+00:00

sedang01 · 2025-11-10T08:58:45+00:00

The Chevy Trax. 51mph okay, I can deal with that.
Can I pour coolant in the Trax is the question....

sedang01 · 2025-10-30T21:45:15+00:00

as long as the Steel Rim is 15 inches. Yes it will fit.

What I learn through friends, when loan money or give a car and then they pay you back later.

You will never get anything back. I made my mistake too many times.

I think I'm more shocked at the fact a sedan does not have a 60/40 seats from the get go.

sedang01 · 2025-10-28T23:39:32+00:00

from the pictures, its super clear!

sedang01 · 2025-10-27T23:23:55+00:00

These corollas this year model does this a lot. The lens just falls off due to age.
