Just bought it from a used car dealership. Had the Tranny mounts replaced, and there is still a slight creak when you first put it in reverse, or when you brake. Any one know what it could be?

Also, The driver's side headlight only works with the brights on....I think I have made a few other drivers on the road mad when I have to drive at night! Do I just need a new bulb, or is it in the wiring?

you might just need a new bulb but my girlfriend had a 00 eclipse with the same problem and it turned out her harness was burned and melted.

I own a 2000 eclipse and I have been having trouble with my headlights not coming on from time to time. First off, there are 4 10 amp fuses in the fuse box located under the hood. One fuse for each low and high beam of both lights. So, that is a cost free check to perform before you go out and buy a bulb. Also, with the lights on wiggle the wires going to the headlight bulb.
It could be a bad connection. This procedure caused my headlights to come on; however the ground wire on this connection is getting very hot...so I suspect that my headlight wiring harness will have to be replaced. This seems to be very common with the eclipse; so much so that they redesigned the harness with heavier wire. Good Luck! Hope this helps... :idea: :idea: :D
