Update: The drain hose on the passenger side in the truck was disconnected. The car won't start with a jump now. I removed the battery, it makes a sloshing sound. I don't want to scrap the car, the body and paint are flawless - assuming the insurance company bought it from me, I don't imagine...

So, it's been raining, and I have been sick so I wasn't using the car... and I didn't notice that my 2004 Ls was seriously leaking. The floor and the trunk were full of water when I opened the door yesterday morning. The battery was sitting in about five inches of water. The floor, seats, dash...

I had it recharged and replaced the air cabin filter. It works much better.

There is also plenty of air flow. Fans are working well.

No error codes in the system. Nothing unusual. The DACT is the dual air climate control? If so, that appears to be functioning correctly. The AC air isn't cold, and it's not heated.

First, are the seat and cabin ac run on the same system? - It sounds like a motor or fan or some sort is running when my cooled seats are on. My cabin ac doesn't work. It worked great for years, always blowing cold, one day it didn't work anymore. Any ideas or experience with this issue?

I have a 2004 LS V8 with the electric parking break. When I shut off the car the break dash light stays illuminated and the car makes a rapid bleeping sound. If I pull the parking break the bleeping sound stops. Sometimes in the morning the battery is dead and after jump starting the car I get a...

Okay, so it's part of the paint process that causes the orange peal effect. Wet sanding is the usual way to correct this? What does wet sanding do to the paint job? Strip the clear coat? Prepare the paint for oxidation?

what is the orange peal effect? Is it the quality of the original paint job or a deterioration of the paint?

The water is spraying out of the drain hole in the muffler. It didn't use to do that it.

I recently had some overheating problems, I replaced my thermostat and it's cracked housing. I noticed since my overheat incident that my muffler is spraying water when I first start the car. After I shutoff the car I hear a gurgling sound. I followed the air bleed instructions, coolant...

I got the thermostat out, the thermostat-thermostat housing retainer was cracked and flared out.

Yes, I opened the engine fill cap. Half a gallon is normal then.

Draining the coolant from the radiator drain, I only got around a half gallon and the degass bottle didn't lower it's level at all. Is this normal?

I used a transparent hose to drain some of the coolant, it's contaminated with little black flakes and dust and the coolant is yellowish with a slight brownish/orange coloration. What does this mean?

You know what; I couldn't get the heater to produce heat while it was driving normally, I didn't check the heater when it started to overheat. Is it possible for the thermostat to be alternating it's sticking position?

I removed and inspected the degas bottle, I'm not seeing any cracks and the lid seems very secure, the plastic doesn't feel brittle. The dealership flushed the coolant a year ago when they replaced the coolant control valve. What size container will need to hold the coolant, would 1 gallon be...

Coolant level is perfect. The temperature gauge is interactive on the dash. What exactly is happening when the thermostat is stuck? When I drain the coolant, how large of a container do I need?

When the fail safe system engaged, the freeze frame data indicated the coolant temperature was around 250 degrees. The Lower radiator hose was cold to the touch and the upper radiator hose was too hot to touch. I couldn't get any hot air out of the cabin vents. The Fans in the engine...

Fantastic, that will work perfectly.
