I agree with all previous suggestions. They are all possibilites. El Cheapo might be poor contact inside the solenoid. GM sols have a big brass ring that provides starter motor current when energized. Its inside the cap where the small wires connect. I've seen the brass corrode and not conduct...

ED .. I don't have pix. I re-carpt'd a '71 vert. I did the W/W's 1st. Then loose [no glue ] center rear. I found that I was stuck given the seam width. It was wider than the sides of the W/W's. Had to center as best I could. Important to glue the top of the rear panel true. Flatten on the rear...

Could be an internal leak in the power assist cylinder

The block is the engine. The black battery [ground] lead goes to the block. The engine/trans are rubber shock mounted to the chassis. This makes them electrically insulated. Every car has ground straps to complete the circuit between the bat neg pole to the chassis. If this wire is open strange...

Sounds like you have a bad/open chassis ground. Measure the voltage between your block and an unpainted part of your chassis. If you read 12V, bingo. Next phase is finding where the ground strap/s is /are, and repairing it/them. Quick check: jumper the frame[clean metal] to the block[clean...

Gary ... On a '71 the flasher IS on the Pass side. Behind the panel just to the inside of the AstroVent push/pull knob. It has a capasitor between the 2 prongs { R/C timer I think} Mine would shake off and I'd get the symptoms you've described. I ty-wapped the plastic plug to the flasher prongs...

ED .. On my '71 there was one 3 prong electrical plug and 2 vacuum hoses as I remember. I think the solid black vac hose goes toward the firewall but I'd test them first.

Just a thought, use a Meter. On a '71 there are 3 wires [sure one goes to the vac sw under the drivers dash for the wipe cover] going into the wiper sw. Find the hot and the ground. Jumper the hot to ground with the door overridden on the plug side. The wiper should run. Wiper runs = a bad or...

I totally agree with what has been written. I hit a NY pot hole years ago, broke drivers side 1/2 shaft. The car's rear wheel collapsed without the 1/2 shaft. Top side of wheel inward. Upon chg'ing the 1/2 shft. learned the universal is not free to turn 360 with the wheel in the air. Think...

Robin ... I don't know of a flushing T kit. My windshield fogged up any time I used the heater. Pin hole in the heater core, is what I thought. I had no anti-freeze on the pass floor. Bit the bullit and changed the damned thing. No more FOG.

2 goingballastic The heater core in these cars is no big deal. DON'T CUT THRU THE FIREWALL! Remove the pass side dash panel ; center inst cluster. Right side kick panel. Unbolt lower and upper bird cage rod /remove rod. 4 nuts on the firewall and the heater casing is out[heater hoses removed]...

Finished redo of interior. Re connected the courtesy lights and the buzzer goes off until I close both doors. Sound familar? Found a schmetic of the warning syst. The horn relay is also the buzzer if you leave your key in the ignition. It runs thru the ignition switch and the door open switches...

Saw your pix. I just registered and now can answer this for you. Hope it's not too late. Your clips are broken. They should've just held to the plastic edges that you show in you post. NO PROBLEM. Screw the 2 screws between the consol and the hand brake cover[use an awl to find the nut plate]...
