    Steering wheels

    I have a chance to get a Sparco wheel with a universal hub, but I'm still not sure it'll fit on my car.

    overheating isssues

    I've got the same problem with my car and the thermostat's been replaced twice. We're wondering if there isn't a problem with the computer. Eventually, I'm doing a rebuild anyway, including a new radiator & hoses.

    Steering wheels

    Is it possible to replace a steering wheel with an aftermarket one for a 1997 Protege? I've heard from some places that it's not, but my current one looks horrible (it looks like it's been chewed on). It has an airbag, but I can do without one if it means the car looks better. The people I've...

    Alarm & Keyless Entry

    OK...glad to hear about the LED...as for the resistor, we got it installed yesterday & it took 5 minutes. I found the resistor at Radio Shack.

    Alarm & Keyless Entry

    Has anyone either installed or had installed an aftermarket alarm & keyless entry for their Proteges? I have a '97 & my neighbor & I didn't have too much trouble putting in the alarm, but for some reason, the Prots only have 1 door lock/unlock wire that requires us to have a 4700 ohm resistor...

    I fixed the dome light....When you take the cover off the light, the dome light itself is the center light of the 3. My problem was that the lightbulb itself has two metal connector caps....the one I pulled out had only one, and the filament exposed on the other end. The light now...

    I had the same problem with mine, Trooper, and it ended up being the thermostat, but I saw that you had changed it.

    Dome light in a 1997 Prot LX

    This one is a little stranger than my tire question, but one that I can't figure out....I noticed tonight that my dome light has 3 position switches: Off, On & Door, plus 2 round buttons for the actual lights to come on. The problem I have is that when I open my door, the dome light doesn't...

    Tire question

    This may seem like a stupid question, but is there something I'm missing when I take off a tire? I bought a 1997 Protege LX in February & I'm doing some work on it & need to get rid of the rust on the rims & repaint them black. The problem is, once the lug nuts are off, the tires won't come...
