    Bose in an 89' Coupe

    I may be out of line. However here it goes. I spent big money sending in the head unit to get gone through. Replaced all amps (And a couple of speakers) and then all I had was a mediocre cassette player. So I sold that equipment on ebay and purchased the direct fit Pioneer unit from ebay...

    fresh air inlet on an 86?

    My experience with an 84 and 85 (I assume same as 86) is the fresh air comes from below the windshield. SO the problem with that is it is HOT under there. I have had my AC and Heating fixed this year by a pro and it still feels like you are describing HOT.

    Dark Dash

    Just my thoughts...Anyone with basic mechanical skill can fix this dash unit. Follow instructions on the link above. It will be obvious where the bad soder links are. Go to Radio Shack and spend $10 on an Iron and soder. Spend an hour removing dash and taking apart. 20-30 min on the...

    Dark Dash

    I am not a genius when it comes to electronics. However I spent 20 min taking mine apart (That did exactly what yours did) and found that some soders (SP) were bad. I simply heated the contacts and added some soder and fixed it. Works perfectly. Try...

    What am I missing Fog Lights?

    OK found the issue Looks like the previous owner put in a bypass for this. On the 84 the fog lights only come on with the headlights. It looks like a switch for bypassing this must have been installed. Two spades with no switch between under dash (Deep under dash) Connected these and work...

    weatherstripping installed but doors do not close anymore

    Had mine painted by the GM dealer. I provided aftermarket weather strip. Same thing. I am interested in what others have to say. My guess is that is why oem is 3 times the price?

    Alternator question

    As for alternator going out, I have an 84 with 47k miles and it went out. Actually the internal regulator went out. It was producing 16-17volts. SO too much. Only at higher rpms. 14-15 at idle(Still high) This was cooking the battery. SO I made the choice to replace the whole thing...

    Alternator question

    I dont think it is an alternator. Sounds like 1 of 2 things. 1. Bad contacts. IE ground, Power connector. I would remove these connections and use some electrical grease and try again. 2. Somthing that is pulling power in pulses to cause flickering. I assume that you do not have a...
