Mmmmmmm . . . Bill, I don't quite understand how I'd do that.

A few weeks back the heater blower stopped working in my 1980. Of course, first thing I did was check the fuse and, yep, it was blown. So I installed a nice new pretty green 30 amp and it blew immediately. Making sure it just wasn't a bad fuse I tried one more time and, Pow. It blew too. So...

The wires were on correctly. I got the old blower motor out today (the new one's on order). I was surprised when I saw that it was not the original. It has a manufacture date of February, 2001 on it. (I bought the car in 2006.) The impeller turned easily. So now I'm concerned that it might not...

It has 2 wires that go to two separate connections on the outside of the housing. It hasn't blown very well through the vents for quite a few years so I am thinking the motor is going/went bad. If this is the problem I'm happy it's been diagnosed, but the task of removing that blower motor I'm...

OK, I did it and you were correct. I put in a new 30 amp fuse, unplugged both connections to the blower motor, turned on the ignition switch, turned on the blower switch, and the fuse DID NOT blow. Do you think this means it's time for a new blower motor ?

Oh, don't worry about that. I'm electronically ignorant but not a moron.

I'll try that next. Thanks.

The heater blower fan stopped working on my 1980. Of course the first thing I did was check the fuse. Yep ! The fuse was burnt out. I put in a new 30 amp fuse, turned on the blower switch and heard a "Pop!" It blew another one. I removed the center console to look at the switch. The switch looks...

OK, so the driver side power window on my frost beige 1980 has been acting up and slowing down over the past couple years but, hey the thing is 40 years old. Then suddenly, bang, it stopped working altogether. I think it's time to invest in a new motor. The new power window motor arrives. Before...

Oh, yea. Right. Current. Hey, I'm doing twelve things at once here!

It did with mine because, I assume, there was enough voltage being pulled through the bad cable to get enough power to these low voltage accessories.

It's worth a shot. I had this same problem a year or two ago with my 1980. I was extremely frustrated because I just couldn't figure it out. I posted the problem on here and someone told me I needed a new negative battery cable. He didn't suggest I try it. He said that was what I needed. I...

The trailing arm shims need replaced in my 1980. I bought the shims a few years back but just haven't gotten around to replacing them yet. Any time I've looked for advice for installing new ones all I've ever found is everyone saying to "Just measure the width as it is and replace them to the...

dmastnick@yahoo.com Thanks. Very appreciated.

:ugh HEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEE ! ! ! If anyone has a good defogger switch for a late 1980-82, I would be forever greatful if you could post a clear picture of the back of it. I certainly would like to avoid paying for a new one and a resistor is fried on mine. I want to try and solder a new one on. I...

:happyanim:Negative battery cable was severely corroded. More than half of the copper wires were disolved or broken. Bought a new one at Advance Auto, installed it and the car fired up stronger than ever. This made my weekend! I'm so greatful to SVO. Thanks a million!:happyanim:

Thanks. I'll check that today. I'm willing to try anything. This was a Sears Diehard battery which is all I ever buy for any car. It was 3 years old so I took it back and they did a test on it and said it was bad. I got a brand new one, took it home and installed it. I hit the horn button...

Noooope. Not that. I had the battery tested and they said it was in excellent condition. Now listen to this one. With the battery removed, I hooked jumper cables up directly from another car to the pos. & neg. battery cables. It did the exact same thing. Turn the key to the on position, the...

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?
