Wiring still in place for a replacement, or change to a wireless system.
- Smartire receiver works, but the batteries in the transmitters in the wheels have died so pressure indications are not reliable. If a TPMS is desired, unless replacement Smartire transmitters can be found, a replacement system would be recommended.
- CB Radio doesn’t work.
Entry door sticks when heated, needs clearance increasing.Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors need to be replaced.Fire extinguishers need servicing or replacing.Indicators are green.- Remote locking on most compartment doors doesn’t work. It’s never worked well and we have never bothered to use it. We don’t keep anything super valuable in the compartments and have never lost anything.
