Re: Running water sound

Leoman will prove to be correct on this one. The running water sound is air in the heat core and related lines. You need to get the air out of the cooling system to eliminate the noise, and more importantly, make sure you don't roast the moder.

I am not seeing a drain on the fire wall of the passanger side could it be anywhere else? And I know its the thought that counts, but that was just mean to assume I am that stupid. Im not the smartest person in the world when it comes to cars (as everyone can see) but I do know how to aim vents in the car.

I looked at this and I will try this after I find the drain if that dont work.

Also still having trouble with my dash lights, I have never seen this before in any car. When I turn my lights on my dash lights should come on, but they dont. And the CD player will come on and off, on and off unless I put it on the radio then it will stay on untill I turn my lights on. Then it will go off, it does not keep memory (time, what station I was on, ect.). When I shut my car off and leave it over night the next day I have to turn the cdplayer back on and then back to radio. It dont bother me that bad seeing how I drove 4 years before this car without a cdplayer or radio, but I need my dash lights so I can tell how fast I am going. If I dont look at my speed I tend to drive a little to fast. And I am still on probation from where I just got my license back not long ago, and have to controll my speeding.
I have check all the fuses in the car. Also check the battery, and pulled the cdplayer out to see if it was hooked up correctly. I dont know what else to do but to take it to a shop to have it fixed, and I really dont want to do that if I can fix it myself. (No jokes about me obviously not being able to fix it myself please. I mean when I know whats wrong.)

Re: Running water sound

I was just kidding about the aiming of the vents.

Did you use a wiring harness when you installed the cd player or did you hard wire it in?

Re: Running water sound

I've never messed with a NT car, but it doesn't matter. You are looking for a tube hanging down from the firewall in a manner that it won't drip water on anything The tube will be on the passenger side, and it will prolly be coming from the condenser, since that is what it was meant to drain.

Hey man, did you get your stuff fixed? Did you try turning the pot. on the dash lights (you know the knob that makes them brighter)?

Re: Running water sound

Ok I went looking around my car while I had a little free time today, and here is what I have found. This is the only tube I could find and it was behind the fender of the passenger side I couldnt get a air compressor because my friend had to work today and my little one I use in case of a flat would not work for nothing. LoL Can you tell me if this is the one, because on another site I found a guy was having the same problem as me and they told him that the tube was on the drivers side of the car I jacked the car up and had a look around but couldnt find anything on the drivers side unless it is also under the fender but I didnt have time to take it off. Im going to use my friends compressor on the tube in the pic above unless told other wise by Saturday.
Thanks for all the help so far. Sorry to be such a bother.
