As simple as the Needle? Are you sure when you were working on it, you didn't pull the needle off and then reinstall it in the wrong place? Or maybe just bump it and move it?

I installed a new starter in my 1980 last summer. It has a rather new, fully charged battery. The car sat for a few weeks without being started. When I went to start it, the engine began to crank then it seemed the battery was weak and it died. I thought it was no big deal so I charged the...

Great info. Thanks!

I'll crawl in there tomorrow and have a look. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll spend some time looking it over. Thanks!

The circuit board is fine.

OK. Here it is. So frustrated. The tachometer on my 1980 stopped working a few years back right after I had a new speedometer cable installed. I've done all the normal checks, repairs, tests, etc. But the thing still won't work. Yea, the circuit board is in great condition. Here's a possibility...

Well, I don't really understand the reasoning for that, unless it's to make it easier for Nader to stay full of hot air.;LOL Thanks for all your help. -damian-

Here's something I've found that seems odd. It makes me think there could be a short somewhere. When the ignition is on, I can hear the blower motor running on low. This happens if the blower switch is plugged into the connection or not, and if the switch is connected, it doesn't have to even...

This took you a lot of time. I can't say how much I appreciate it. The wiring diagram is excellent. I'll post when I get the results. Thanks for the help. -d-

Before, the switch did work on low and medium but not on high. I thought it was a bad switch, so I got a new one. I put this one in and it doesn't work at all. I stuck the old switch back in to see what happened and now it doesn't work at all either.

The first thing I did was check the fuses. As a matter of fact, I checked every one in the entire fuse box, just in case. They all looked fine but I went ahead and changed every fuse with a new one. I was getting NO power to the blower before and in doing this, I at least got power to it. Even...

In my 1980, the heat/AC blower fan switch has not worked on 'high' since I got the car a few years ago. (It has worked on low and medium). Well, I finally got around to getting a new switch. However, when I put this one in it doesn't work at all. I tried putting the old switch back in to see if...

I just recently saw that these are available and I wondered what they would look like on my frost beige 1980. I generally don't want anything but original equipment on her but seeing yours, I love the way they look. I just might do it. Thanks for posting the pics.

I really appreciate you doing all this. If you look on the lower left side of the switch in photo #1, you can see that the resistor is burnt out. That's the same one that burnt on my switch. This must be the one that fries first whenever one of these goes bad. I can, however, still see at least...

Thanks so much. You don't know how much I appreciate it. -d-

The one large resistor in the rear defogger switch in my 1980 is burnt out. My car has the switch that was installed later in the production year. The replacement cost for the regular switch is about $50. Of course the one I need is $190. I would like to solder in a new resistor instead of...

Keep moving forward... backwards. Now if GM would just consider incorporating retro-split chrome bumpers into the design, circa. early C3's.

;shrug HELP!!! I took my 1980 out on a rainy day. When I turned on the wiper switch... nothing. Since I'd just installed a new radio, I checked the fuse first. Fuse was fine. Connections to the switch? Looked OK. All wires are connected tight under the hood. I read that there might be a...

So what's 37 years?!!! ...a summer evening in 1969. There I am, 7 years old and walking with my older brother down the street past a family tavern about a block from my house in Massillon Ohio. Sitting there in the parking lot was a burnt orange "68 or "69 C-3. ...and I remember saying to...
