    Clock isn't working.

    Flickering Headlights

    I would first check your headlight fuse to see if it's burnt at all, this is the easiest thing to do before you bother with pulling the whole dash panel out or something. I don't think both the dash and headlights are on the same fuse, so that could be it. Next I would go with wiring behind the...

    help! steering wheel shakes!

    good shop suggested that my struts were worn out, as well as numerous bushings. so i bought a arms, tie rods, shocks/struts and it shakes a TON less... but it still shakes. I think a new drive shaft would finish it off since a lot of shakes can be attributed to the u-joints
