Hello folks.
I've been an owner of an '03 Marauder since early August, and I don't think it'd be a stretch for me to say it's just about anything I could want in a vehicle (plus a few hundred pounds.)
I have a few questions that may need to be directed to another forum, but I figure they are small issues that could probably be adressed here.
Firstly, every now and then when I turn the car on, after a few moments I'll hear a noise from the front-left portion of the car from under the engine bay. It almost sounds like a compressor of some sort, and it runs for a few seconds, but I'm not sure what it is. And almost always without fail if someone gets in the front passenger seat even after the car has been running for some time, it will make that noise again.
Secondly, my radio has been having strange problems since I've purchased the vehicle. Every few weeks, the FM tuner, and ONLY the FM tuner, will stop working. AM works fine, the CD section works like a champ, but the FM section loses the ability to lock on to a specific tuning. It drifts through the frequency band, and occasionally will pick up a channel clearly as it drifts, so I know it's not an antenna problem. Would this be a problem with the phase-lock-loop in my head unit? Are there any aftermarket head units that would be able to utilize the cd changer with relative ease?
Also, I've heard mention that there is a member on this site that can tell me specifics on the production number and such for my vehicle, who would I need to speak to to find out this information?
Thanks in advance for your time, and again greetings to everyone. I'm hoping to starting seriously building the vehicle soon once cash comes my way (intake and spacer, here I come. ;) )
Cheers,
Chris Roberson.
