    Newbie from jersey

    Hey all, my name is Brian and I'm a converted Ford guy. Bought the Charger for my wife but once I drove this car home from the dealership, I knew it was going to be mineLOVE THIS F'N CAR!!!!!!!! I have many issues with it though. This poor car has been put through the ringer, and it only has 5000 miles on it. I call her my red headed step child. Picked her up in Oct. and have had to work on many many issues. Here's the laundry list:
    cd player not woking: fixed
    Oil leak at the filter: fixed(gave her 10w30 synthetic)
    climate control lights not working: ongoing
    both belly pans missing: ongoing
    under hood insulation missing: ongoing
    windshield wipers toast: fixed
    front body misaligned: ongoing
    left front marker light not working: fixed
    right front door speaker missing: ongoing
    air bag light always on: diagnosed(not fixed yet)
    screw in right rear tire:fixed
    There is more I can't think of right now, But I'll get it all worked out. From what I can tell she has been hit in the rear, hit in the front, crappy paint work on some panels(fish eyes and dirt), attempted theft(screwdriver marks on driver door and dash around ignition). Most people would be pretty pissed about all this but it just shows you how much I love this car!! Well, sorry about the longwinded post but I will turn this car into a tribute to my Uncle(MIA Air Force Korean war) He flew a Thunderjet in Korea. This car is silver steel an kind of reminds me of his jet. Just wish she was a HEMI, but I still LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I hope one day to contribute but for right now I'll be picking your brains(not your noses) for all the info I can. Thanx for having me and hope to meet up with some of you soon. Thanx again -B-

    Welcome from NH!
    The climate control lights (bulbs) are not replaceable. You'll need to replace the control unit behind the bezel. Our local dealership quoted my just under $80 bucks. I need to replace the one in my wifes Charger. I'll experiment on the old one with trying to replace the bulbs with LEDs.

    Thanx again for the welcome guys and gals. Chuckwagon thanx for the info. I've read about a few people who have changed out the leds but it seems like a royal pain in da butt! Schen, I picked it up in Hillside. I'm from Dunellen. I'll be meeting you soon I hope. I was into photography before the digital era stormed in then I got kinda lost. Picking it back up again so you may have some competition!lol Your shots are REAL nice bro Keep up the good work!! See yall soon
