I've screwed something up - 1993 240 door handle

1993 240-Removed driver's side door handle today because I had to adjust the little barrel shaped thing which sits in the back side of the handle that screws onto the rod which opens the door. The handle was almost not opening the door, had to pick it way up with both hands. When I was in there noti...

Troubleshooting Cabin A/C, Heater Blower Motor

Slight burning smell coming from vents on 1993 240, then blower motor would no longer turn on.
How do I know if I need to replace just the motor, resistor and/or switch?

Thanks in advance

1993 240 Summertime Gas Smell

Every summer I get a horrible gas smell that sometime permeates throughout the cabin of my 1993 240. I have noticed that after driving the vehicle and parking that there is hissing coming from the gas cap which is relieved when I take it off. No visible leaks detected. Gas cap has already been repla...

Re: 1993 240 Bad Ignition Switch?

Unfortunately cleaning the shifter assembly is not going to tighten it up. There are other issues here and the no start may be a secondary condition that would be fixed by replacing whatever it is I need to do to tighten up the shifter assembly

Re: 1993 240 Bad Ignition Switch?

Further info - think I just put 2 and 2 together based on the clue from lummert. If my shifter(auto trans) is very loose and difficult to get in and out of park be the cause of my starter not turning? Wondering if the neutral safety switch is not making contact, therefore not allowing the starter to...

Is there a way to test this or bypass it?

1993 240 Bad Ignition Switch?

My car wouldn't crank. I removed the small connector on the starter and applied 12V from the battery and the car turns over and starts. How can I tell if it is my ignition switch, or just something wrong with the wire from the ignition?
