The Official CS Lancer Thread!

It is supposed to turn off. If it remains on the sensor or airbag is defective.

You would have to run a scan before interfering with anything.

Question: has anyone here tried the new castrol magnetic oil? As i know new mitsubishi cars use castrol, id like to know any reviews. Im taking my car to service and all-fluid change next week, and was wondering..thanx

[mety57]

hey i have question does the SRS light in the CS3 stay on or does it come off after the engine is on?

i hope you all have covered this already but 238 pages are too much to check for that. I checked out two today and just making sure that everything is ok.

A friend sent me to a straightener who is a friend of his and owns a garage, his price: 900

1 Pint Penta Autocolor A69=132.00 VAT Included
1 Pint Penta A2k Hardener= 82.00 VAT Included (All other materials will be provided without charge)

Scratch that then

[venum]

madman,

if A/C was serviced recently and the evaporator was changed then it would remian on since they would have disconnected the airbag in servicing

sismilarr to driver side airbag

a scanner or code reader can reset the code and turn teh light off

Same thing happened to me except that the officer knew that it was white and I did not get a ticket.

[turbo_beast369]

u won't win simply because most "white" led's have a slight bluish colour...those are cool white led's....you should get natural white or warm white....

Agreed!!

Besides, when you lost the case in court, the Judge will let you pay an extra fee for wasting time!!
I will advised to challenge a ticket ONLY when you have strong grounds to fight on!
