I have the TL wheels also. I like them, they look alot better than the 06-08 stock wheels it came with. the best part is the handling changes from having the extra one inch of wheel and tire at each corner.

Its gotta be a blown fuse somewhere IMO


In 5AT models, the shift lock mechanism will engage if there is a blown fuse. Its a nice indicator really.

I'm not sure for the 6MT's.

OK, so i checked all the fuses and the "Meter" fuse was the problem...I replaced this fuse and now I have all my power back . But now I get a "Check Emission System" when I start up the car...does anyone know if that is tied to a fuse???? Or may this come on because I took the associated fuse out and put it back in?
