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 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...

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...

: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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

;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...

I'm about to install a new Pioneer AM/FM CD player in my 1980 baby. I have the light yellow and the red wires that leads back to the power antenna traced but I really haven't figured out how to wire it into the new radio yet. The wiring from the new CD player is rather simple. Anyone have any...

The speedometer on my 1980 hasn't worked since I got the car in Oct. of "06. Speedometer, Tachometer checked OK. Installed new cables. They're fine now. Speedometer and Odometer are still dead. I've traced the problem to the transducer. I have the cables hooked up correctly but I don't know...
