i own a 2003 5at g35 coupe and its having a few problelms

problem number one - sometimes when i start the car i start hearing a little bit of a squeaking noise. i usually hear that noise more often when the a/c or heat is on...ive been told i need to get a new serpentine belt or i should get the belt i have checked to see if its tight enough

2. if i put the passenger window all the way down sometimes it gets stuck and i have to hit the door to get it to go up

3. the lights for the heated seats switch dont work

any ideas of whats wrong/ how to fix it?
thanks for your help

 

1 - It is the belt. Happens to me as well, especially with the ac on. It's just old and needs to be switched.

2 - Search for the DIY on taking your door panel off. It is in the interior DIY section. Just take a look, use some cleaner to remove any dirt and gunk that could be holding it up, and see how it works. Easy, and can't hurt. If not, I remember reading our cars are bad with window motors. If thats the issue, scour junkyards. Won't be hard to find, and you'll get it a lot cheaper than you would from the stealership.

3 - Burnt bulbs. Either take the dash apart and get the bulbs switched, or pay the stealership to do it for you.

 

in response to your answer to #3, how do i take the dash apart/what kidn of bulbs does it need?

--thanks
