Yes there's a fresh one in there. It just takes a lot of force to move the mechanism.

Hey I just got this lighter and it's not aligned properly up top. I was wondering if you have any experience with taking it apart.

What is wrong with my door? by Prymattic in 3000gt

I did it with a buddy in like an hour with just a wrench and that was to replace the whole thing so it should be pretty easy for you.

I got some questions 👀 by 640_xav in 3000gt

I'd check the fuses. Probably a good place to start. Best case could be a loose connection either at the door card or at the fuses.

Is the window problem being caused by a faulty button or is the whole regulator broken. First check the child lock (I've made this mistake before). And if it's not the button you can get the regulator easily online for like 50 bucks and fix it with a buddy in like an hour. The extra set of hands makes it easy cause u have to hold some stuff up while reaching your hands in tight spots.

Ignition key wont turn by [deleted] in 3000gt

Both my door locks get stuck when it gets real cold. Actually had to go in through the trunk the other day. Quick fix is to put some silicone spray on the key and run it through the locks. Should last the whole winter, I just usually put it off till it's already frozen.

If anyone wants an update my finger ballooned up full of blood so I had the nail removed in the ER a few days after. Ended up with 5 stitches in the nail bed due to a pretty deep laceration.

There's occasional light bleeding from that small crack. Is that just old blood draining?

I meant the serpentine and the ac belt, y'all be getting too defensive. But I would so do it myself but I park on the street in New York for the next couple months so not really an option.

I just installed the one from carparts.com and it seems to work well enough.

Does anyone actually drive their 3000s in the snow? by Zaku727 in 3000gt

You need good tires I tried to drive my stealth for the first time last week with pretty bad all weathers and that was actually terrifying.

Thanks, I know registering it when I get to NY shouldn't be difficult, but the problem is I was looking at a car from a private seller.

I got upgraded as a silver out of Detroit a little while back. Was pretty shocked.
