Due to the increasing number of Frequently Asked Questions, I have listed all the questions on this thread while linking them to Joel_CA's answers for easier reading. Thanks.

- After having my battery replaced (or jumpstarted or disconnected during a service), my engine refuses to idle and sometimes wants to die at a stoplight. What happened and what can I do?
- My transmission is in need of a service. Do I need to have the transmission completely flushed or can I just do the drain and refill myself? What type of ATF should I use?
- A few days ago my Parking Brake Light began coming on intermittently. I have checked numerous times to make sure that the brake is released completely and it is. It began doing this when temperatures dropped below freezing...coincidence?
- My antenna won't go down unless I push on the top of it while the antenna motor is still winding down. Anybody have any ideas how to fix this?
- I have a steering wheel shake on my Montero Sport that I can't seem to get rid of...what can I do about it? or I have a clunk from my suspension over bumps or small pot holes...where to look?
- I can smell something burning (almost like oil) after driving my truck- sometimes I even see smoke. What can it be?
- I would like to know what the 'A/T Mode' switch does. The manual gave a vague description and made me more confused.
- How do you post a picture on the forum?
- After prolonged high speed driving or prolonged driving through mountainous regions with moderate to heavy loads, the Neutral (N) light will begin to flash in the dash (4wd models use a flashing A/T light). What does this mean, what should I do about it and what can I do to prevent this from reoccuring?
- My 4WD light keeps flashing intermittantly or My ABS light suddenly came on for no apparent reason after a few miles of driving...what happened?
- Ever since the weather has started to cool down, I've noticed that my tailgate struts are no longer strong enough to push up and hold the tailgate in the fully raised position. What can I do about this?
- My battery died recently and now my radio doesn't work. All I've got is the word "CODE" on the display. I was told that the radio needs to be "reprogrammed". Where do I get this code from and how do I enter it?
- The weirdest thing started to happen to my truck recently...when I plug something into the 12v access outlet like my cell phone charger, the horn starts goes off and stays on until you shut the engine off or take out the keys. What is causing this?
- How can I customize my remote Keyless entry answerback feature? (2K and newer models only)
- When I turn on the fan, the air coming out of the vents STINK like musty mildew or like the wet clothes that I left if the washing machine for ever a week. What could it be, what can be done about it, and what can I do to prevent this from happening to me?
- I'm looking into installing some aftermarket bulbs on my truck- what bulb do you recommend, and is it easy to install?
- I know now that my rear cam O ring seals are leaking and am looking to save some money by doing the job myself. Is this a DIY'er type job...if so, how do I do it?
- I've been filling up my Montero Sport with Premium Unleaded (91) gasoline, but was told that all I need is 87, is this true? Are there any advantages to using 91 in my Montero Sport?
- I just purchased a used 00 Montero Sport ES and was thinking of adding the factory foglamps to my ride. Is my ES prewired to accept this accessory?
- My MS doesn't have factory running boards at the time and i wanted to add a set that i bought on Ebay. Can the boards from a later model MS fit on the earlier models (or visa versa)?
- Will 2001 Full Size Montero wheels fit on my truck?
- How do I reprogram the FACTORY keyless entry/alarm system on my 97-99 Montero Sport
- My windshield wipers stopped working or stopped intermittantly in mid-stroke. What could be the problem?
- One of my wiperblades has fallen out of sync with the other and sometimes fails to wipe even though the other side works as normal. What is the problem.
