In the run up to a service at the weekend, I decided to do a couple of the little jobs on my car that I've been putting off for a while, including a number plate bulb, fixing a faulty connection in my interior light (and also replaced the bulbs with the twinkly blue ones, which seem to make no difference so far, although I may notice them in the dark!!)

Also replaced the cabin filter. The old one that came out was completely filthy, full of leaves and black with dust! Makes a huge difference in the cabin and takes about 10 minutes to do. Would definately recommend this for anyone who may have had the original in from new!

Next came what I thought was gonna be the easy bit - resetting the FSS indicator. I've neglected this small technicality for the last two services and was showing as 720 days overdue! As I'm planning on doing the servcice this weekend, I thought I'd get rid of it now. Armed myself with insructions from the forum and the owners manual and made myself comfortable in the driver's seat for the 30 second job..............

Well, after an hour and a really sore thumb from pressing the ****, it finally reset! Must have tried about 100 times and the time it finally did reset, I didn't do anything different to all the other times - not fun!!

Now just got to do the oil and filter, spark plugs and front pads - hope the weather is ok at the weekend!!

 

Yes the FSS is very finnicky...no one has ever gotten it on the first try. I assume you know the car has 12 spark plugs.

 

I just re set mine after doing an annual service, yes its a fiddle and took me a couple of attempts. There is a an article about this in UK Crossfires - For owners of the Chrysler Crossfire in the UK together with other useful bits and pieces.
I see there still UK owners who are not on our emailing list and news letter list. We have 66 UK Crossfire owners on our contact list. If they wish to be put on the list, all they need to do is contact us via the contact page in the site.
