A '98 Dodge intrepid, a Sony Car CD Player. I have all the wires that is need for installing it but the wires don't match like there color coded but the colors don't match. Do you have to use all the wires? Any suggestions? Im quite positive I have the right connection.
Answer:you can go to radio shack or wal mart either one and get and adapter harness that allows you just to plug this right in without having to cut or splice any wires at all,this is the safest way to install one and it also guarantees you that all the speakers are going to work right,its a plug and play deal when you use the wiring harness,this way no errors are made in wiring it other wise if you cross a few of those up you can damage the new radio plus possibly burn a wire out on the car also,good luck

I have a 2004 Dodge Intrepid. I need to figure out how to replace the clock spring and WHERE TO BUY IT!!! My car's horn isn't working and the airbag light has been on for over two months. There is a slight crackling noise when I turn the wheel. I am pretty sure that its the clock spring, but I need directions on how to fix it and where to get the parts. Thank you!!!!! Any help is truly appreciated!
Answer:you have to pull the steering wheel ,but first you have to disconnect the battery in it then remove the air bag and unplug it being really careful with it,then behind the steering wheel is the clock spring,you,ll need a good steering wheel puller and a lot of patience,and a good repair manual,i would never start any job like that without one,you can do it though i have seen a lot of people change their own and do a good job on it,the part can be bought at a dealer,i wouldn't go with a used one not on this part,its to much trouble to take back out,good luck.
Was wondering if anyone could tell me what the empg for a 1996 dodge intrepid is? Also is this a reliable car and would you recomend it?
Answer:This is the answer I gave FordWoman4life about her '96 Intrepid question. I owned a '96 ES with the 3.5 V-6 & fully optioned. I purchased it brand new, rarely had any problems with it & found it to be dependable. I drove it all over Texas with complete confidence. Realize you want to purchase a 10yr old car. With any used vehicle, unless you know the owner, you have no idea how they treated it as far as driving habits, maintenance & so on. If you do decide to purchase a used vehicle, hire a "lemon inspector" to check it out for you. Also ask for any maintenance records & run the VIN with a service to see if it's been in any accidents. Such a service is http://www.carfax.com/ Take the vehicle for a drive without the radio on. Try to drive it on both smooth & bumpy roads, feel how it handles & brakes. If possible, run it on a highway to see its response in traffic. Make sure all options such as the AC are working. I could list a multitude of things to look for, but you get the idea. Another piece of advice is to find out what the "Lemon Law" is in your state. Personally, if I were to purchase a used vehicle, it would be from someone I know. Or from a car dealership such as CarMax http://www.carmax.com I would try to get a vehicle no more than 5-7yrs old & with less than 100k miles on it. For instance, we recently purchased an '01 Accord from my sister-in-law with under 50k miles on it. We've been happy with it so far. Another resource would be to check http://autos.msn.com to get an idea of reliability & maintainability. Do your homework first before opening your checkbook. Hope you found this helpful
