Even though the distributor cap is new, it can still get wet inside because the seal isn't water tight.

Look at fuse #11 in your fusebox panel. It is probably burnt out. I had that problem once when the rear window demister switch shorted out.

Emission test failed....

I got my car's emissions inspections (required for the state of VA) today, and it failed. The CO readings are 1.75ppm at 15mph while the maximum allowed is .70ppm. Also the HCppm was something like 2.03 while the max is about 1.8 or so. (I honestly can't remember the exact numbers for the HC). I rep...

I'm not sure about if this will work on your car, but on mine, you can take out the glove box and you can see the wiper linkage from there. Again I'm not too sure... I have a 1985 240... Just a guess

Wow...

First off, Thanks for your detailed response. That sounds a bit overwhelming from my point of view, but I guess thats what you have to do. I think that i'll end up leaving the heated seat unheated for now due to the extent of the work needed to be done and the 6 degree weather. Is there a way which ...

Seat heater stopped working

My seat heater doesn't work and also blew out the light bulb for the switch. None of the fuses are blown. Can you help??

Defroster switch shorted, now overdrive light stays on-help!

Hey all, I was replacing a light bulb for the seat heater switch and the rear window defroster and accidently shorted out the two light bulb terminals on the back of the defroster switch while testing the wires for voltage, and now, the overdrive light turned on and won't turn off. I'm not sure if t...
