Arrow ~Teggy Issues only HCF can help !

Hey guys its been awhile since I've been to the forum but I've got some small problems here and would love to here your feedback on what i should do , where to look , and how to fix these minor problems the quickest , cheapest way .

Interior-wisee:
-Rear door window tint removal .
Any bright ideas ? *Found: Window Tint Spray or Laundry Detergent/Newspaper/Water .

Exterior-wisee:
-Driver side headlight assembly cracked .
(tried superglue/electrical tape "ghetto i know")
Any solution besides a new assembly ? *Found: Silicone or Ebay aftermarket .

-Windshield nozzles not working .
Unit works and sprays , but not through nozzle .
Any ideas ? *Found: http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2198973

-Antenna wont go down .
When starting it makes the sound of it raising as well when turned off it sounds as if it's going down , but it stays stationary .
Any solution ? *Found: http://www.team-integra.net/forum/bl...tallation.html
Cheaper alternative ?*Found: http://www.team-integra.net/forum/bl...placement.html
I saw a small black 3-4inch stub antenna replaced on teg is that expensive ? *Found: http://www.locustom.com/shark2_kit.htm

More expensive Issues:
-Crackling when turning . (Axles, ball joints, allignment ?)
The sound of a baseball cardx5 hitting your spokes on a bike .
I don't know if its the ball joints, axles or allignment ? *Found: CV Axle/Boot .
Any idea ? *Found: $60 Fix-up .

-Check engine light finally appeared .
Any quick way on finding the problem ? (ie. ej's you could check blinks) *Found: Still able to check .
How to reset ? *Found: Remove battery terminals .

-AC/Heater not working .
The problem here is when I drive fast I can get cold air if it's on cold air or hot air if it's on hot air, but stationary I can't have the either on .
Any solution ?

Anywho, I hope any of you guys could help me out I'm planning on fixing these minor issues and selling to my friends friend for a upsale .

Window Tint - I've seen a window tint removing spray. Probably at an auto parts store or something. Should be pretty cheap. Use that and some razor blades.

Noise while turning - Almost 100% certain that its your CV axles. Look under the car and see if the CV boots are torn or leaking near the hub and transmission. Most likely one is leaking or torn and isn't lubricated anymore.

Antenna - I have a extendable/retractable antenna also, I plan on replacing it with an S2000 antenna. Maybe it's possible for Integras also. They are a short black antenna like you mentioned.

CEL - If your car is OBD1 or 94-95, you can still count the blinks. If its OBD2, go to an auto parts store and have them scan your codes for you. I bought a scanner for $50 myself. To reset the ECU, disconnect your battery for about 5 min.

Thats my $.02 lol

the nosie when turning is a bad cv axle $60 fix get new one from part store.
to check cel is same as civic up under glove box on passenger side is the plug and use a paper clip. ECU AND ABS CODES HERE! - Honda-Tech

for the nozzles you can use a safety pin and poke the holes to clear them from build up, or just grab some from a junkyard.

the headlight you can use silicone or just buy a replacement off ebay.

The interior fan is not working. When the car is moving, you get some heat or cool because air is being rammed through the system from the intake under the windshield.

To check the fan first check the fuse which if it's like a Civic, will be under the hood. Then turn the key on and the switch on high, and measure the voltage between the terminals of the motor with the motor still plugged in. Again if it's like a Civic, the motor will be under the dash on the extreme right side of the car and you can reach the plug without taking anything apart. If you have voltage to the motor but it doesn't run, motor is bad.

Where is the fuse under the hood and what do you mean the switch on high to measure voltages ?

The plug what if it was just not hooked up and i hooked it up could that be the problem aswell ?

How do i know if i have voltage do i need a voltage reader ?

Again if it's like a Civic, there will be a plastic fuse box near the battery with a large wire from the battery (+) terminal leading to it. Yes of course having the motor unplugged would stop it from working. You need a voltmeter to troubleshoot electrical problems. For the test I mean turn the ignition key to the normal run position (not necessary to start the engine though) and set the fan switch on the dashboard to its highest setting.

Blower replacement definitely blows. Replacing the one in my crx was murder. Try turning on the blower and checking different fan speed settings. Sometimes the little controller on top of the motor goes out and only allows one or two speeds to work.
