SOOOOOO, it is now short and sweet. Check your fluid valves (solinoids) for correct operation. Secondly DID YOU REINSALL YOUR...

Alan, a little terse in responce, but fully support your comments. (You got the message across.) YES the spring must be caged and operator protected. It needs to be known, to get the right shaft offset it is best done on the bench and the dimensions of spacing are important. ALL stated in the shop m...

Jim, I sent a LONG story PM last nite to your PM question asked. It appears it went to the never never land of messages as it is not to be seen. Later this afternoon/eve I will regen and reply.

Now sense not local, but willing to help, lets try to solve your issue.

Pls remember every car is different as the gauges are not digital but 50 year old analogue. A 5 to 10 percent difference between every car is normal, as they are temperature responsive, and fed on a 5/6 volt feed, controled by a resistive voltage feed. I have found that a hand held lasar temp sensor...

Good day sir and welcome. YOU say you live in the London AREA, but not what part of the world. London England or London Ontario Canada? Not trying to be difficult just asking.

I was sent an email of the Auction listing from a Heather Krill from Pamala Rose auction company. contact them for more info.
Be aware that not all of the VIN numbers are attached,
The auction is a ONE Lot offering, so it is buyer takes all.
It may be the steal of the century, at the right price.

Without digging into my history books and notes, my memory tells me, and with some time checking the wiring diagrams, you will find that the 4 way Hazard switch is in the circuit controlling the brake light feeds. Check the the dash 4 way switch, the contacts may not be making a good connection. Cyc...

Do you by chance have the Safety Convience Package in your car? This can be part of your problem. Will not confuse the issue if you do not have the Safety Pack.
