Last sunday when I started my car I heard a pop through my stereo. I've heard it before a few times. I went to the store and tried to lock my door and the locks didnt lock. I checked the fuse and it was blown. I bought some new fuses, tried to replace and their keep blowing. I tried the dealer but they wanted to keep my car overnight. I have an aftermarket stereo system and custom light done by me. backtracked those 2 and they seem to be okay. I am going to try 2 more dealers over the weekend and get their input. Its a 2011 Kia SOUL + with 51,xxx miles. My warrenty is out in 9k miles.

Are there any Kia techs out there or electrical guru happen to know where the power door lock relay is located in the SOUL? Or the actual cause of the issue. Clearly something is not grounded or such.

Its a mini 20amp fuse (neon green color).

Thank you

In the last year and a half. I have lost a few friendships (no deaths BTW). 1: was an ex best friend that I have known for 9+ years, another one about a girl that I "thought" I liked over the internet, and another girl (over the internet as well) but I feel like she committed suicide not to long ago. When these people come across my mind at random or I when I think of them a "little" bit. I get the deepest darkest chills. They don't feel pure. Its dark and heavy. It difficult at times when I'm driving. My heart starts racing with anxiety and It takes a while to shake it off to return to reality. I get about 20-30 chills from moment I wake up til the time I go to bed. Then a full moon is out I feel like my past is haunting me, making me feel guilty for what I've done.

I know for a fact a couple of years ago (about 4+ years ago) I was perfectly fine. But now im 23 working and school and life drama. I don't know how to contain or dispose my past friendships.

In the last year and a half I have been in 2 car accidents. I also lost 3 friends. 1. stopped talking to me because to jealousy. 2. I let go of a girl that I thought I liked and loved, and 3. Another girl online friend that I couldnt carry her burdens anymore and lost that friendship.

Every now and then, these people come across my mind I start to panic and sorta feel like an anxiety attack or somesort. Their are time it takes me more than 30min to shake it off and come back to reality..

Is this normal after goig through all of this?

In the last year I have lost a few friendships (no deaths btw) and figuring out a current one if its still alive or not. 1 was an ex best friend, another one about a girl , and a recent one about a girl as well but no communication. When these people come across my mind at random or I think of them a "little" bit. I get the deepest chills, even down there. They don't feel pure. Its dark and heavy. My heart starts racing with anxiety and It takes a while to shake it off to return to my calm state. I get about 20-30 chills from when I wake up til I go to bed at night.

Are these spirits/demons/devil?

I was in a long distance relationship with a girl (online) for about a month and a half. It ended because we had to both work on our education and work on stuff. So no hard feelings. Ever since that day I started seeing a 66 VW beetle on the streets. I saw it because she owns one herself. When I have a little thought of her, that car pops around the corner instantly, there are days I see one 3-4 times in less than an hour.

Normally I usually see this car at least every 3-4 months, but its like daily now.

My crazy/stupid mind thinks that shes thinking of me? Though It could just be all in my head.

Some insight would be nice.

Thanks!

I bought a RF P3 12'' Off a friend for really cheap since it was broken, partially the surround broke, so I temporary use super glue to hold it back into place. After pushing the poor thing I decided to refoam it, though I can't seem to find and kit for this particular sub. Whats an equivilant kit to refoam it? Or should I just send it in to RF and let them fix it, though im on a tight budget on this fix..

Thanks!

I'm 21, Vietnamese. Ever since I was little til now. Ive NEVER had a true group of Asian friends and its really starting to bother me, Is it normal to not have friends of your kind? I have a "few" but that's just a small group, for a while I don't even get a lot with them when it comes to interest and such. My other friends (Mexican and etc.) I get along with them perfectly fine with no problems..

Thanks

I have 3 Korean cars in my family. 2 Hyundai's and my brand new Kia. The quality is excellent for my families needs and has a lot of bang for the buck.

I know for a fact that a typical person would drive a Honda, Toyota, or Nissan JUST because its a Japanese car and its lasts long.

Whats a good upgrade from a 9600GT for a Q6600 OC'd at 3.2ghz and 6GB DDR2 ram?

I don't want to spend more than $160+. I like the 9600GT though it cant keep up in SHIFT 2 Unleashed( need for speed).

Im willing to go back to amd/ati (previous 3870 owner).

I have my eye on the GTX 460 and 5770, though im open to suggestions. Thanks!

Is it true that music can have connections with another person?

My grandfather passed away last year and I listened to Within Temptation that day and was very depressed. Since then I haven't been able to listen to WT..AT ALL. I get very nervous and scared, even typing out and saying WT makes me sad...is this normal?

I would LOVE to listen to them again but it seems I can never overcome my grief?

This is the first time that has occur d to me to but this year Ive been waking up hugging my pillow a lot. My siblings tell me this all the time. Is there any physiological reason to this? Ive never done it as a kid or teen...

Am I that lonely in my sleep?

What does it mean?

Plus its annoying that its across the bed...

I would like to know If there are any tuner auto stores left in orange county? I used to go to autobacs when it was still open but since they closed (this time for good). I dunno where else to go. I can get stuff of the internet but I like to browse an actual store...

Please don't recommend autozore or Kragen, I go there if I actually need to get parts.

Thanks!

What do you think of the brand Hyundai now? Are they great, suck, still copy everyone all these years, hate how they are catching up and defeating your favorite auto makes at its game?

I for one didn't like the brand until my dad brought home an 08 Sonata GLS 2.4L (his car) for the first time. I was Impressed at the moment I looked at it. I look a test drive around the neighborhood and it felt like I was riding on air :) nothing that my accord can do :P. Then the next year an 09 Santa Fe GLS V6, again I was impressed by the standard features for a base model car. There very solid, quiet, VERY smooth ride, good braking and pretty good stereo (in the sonata at least).

Though the only thing I don't like about the 2 cars is the cheap plastic interior, the textures are meh, the steering wheel feels plasticy.

Other than that..GREAT CARS :)

Are you for or against modding your new gen console?

I personally against modding my 360, on my 2nd one. I realized games are pretty dirt cheap after a few months or years after release so I rather pay that then download ISO, modify firmware, and cracking open the 360 (have done in the past to fix E74 error), and getting banned on XBL is no fun..

Though Im for modding everything else in the technology world LOLZ.

So do you people stay legit or download games like no other?

Im planning to buy some 168 bright white led bulbs for my license plate light and wondering if anyone been pulled over for it? Yes it meets regulations in the state of CA to be white but does the police mistaken it for blue just to pull someone over?

The new lexus's have pure white leds and get away with it.

Thanks

I have a set of DP Audio DW-49 tweeters in front doors, they are wired with my front 6-1/2's Infinity Kappas. They were once installed in the factory near the window on my Honda Accord. Ever since I relocated them, they are starting to hurt my ears quick by the high frequency.. :( I can hear the detail in my music now but hurting my ears..

Does anyone know what kind of resister I should use to reduce the power? Or know any good set of tweeters for under $30 that doesn't require extra resistors?

I like to try a resistor before making a big purchase.

Thanks!

I wasn't never really into the whole JDM market when I got into cars. I never understood the orange side marks or really big volks and works rims. But now I really hate it, its a fancy way to rice a import IMO. It it really necessary to swap an engine for a jdm one when the USDM one is PERFECTLY FINE?? or get super orange side markers when the half clear/WITH the reflector ones look better? Its so..lame really I don't even like YELLOW fog lights..

Soo does anyone agree with me or your a JDM4LIFE type of person?

Id like to know if local car audio shops sell 1/0 awg or any wire by the foot? Can best buy do that? Im looking to upgrade the big 3 in my car. I dont need a whole spindle just about 10-15 feet.

Or any good online stores please mention :)

Thanks!!

I have a stereo that has a sony deck, infinity kapps fronts and rears, powered by a 4ch pioneer amp.

The 1 remote wire coming out from the deck, can it send a power signal to multiple amps? Like 3 amps sharing one line? Or do I have to add something extra?

Thanks
