    Non-starting problem

    I just checked the voltage on the battery - less than an hour after taking it off the charger - and it came up 12.79V. I know this is not enough to start the car. I wonder if a trip back to sears to return this "die hard gold" battery is in my future, as it is less than 1 year old. I should...

    Non-starting problem

    When I open my door, my dome light is on and bright. When I move the key towards the run (not even all the way to start) it quickly gets dim and goes out. Moving the key back to off brings the light back on. Turning all the way to start will give either a single click or no sound at all. I...

    Looking for an unusual part

    Actually, this looks promising: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-13550K%20%20%20%20%201&comp=LRS edit: I just ordered it. NY requires annual vehicle inspections, and I'm overdue. Last year I failed due to a burnt out license plate light bulb, so I suspect the...

    Looking for an unusual part

    Hey, don't you guys at least have decent junkyards down in Louisiana? I'm up in upstate New York, and all our junk yards are useless unless you want something from a japanese car that is less than 4 years old. But I'll keep looking and I'll let you know if I find one. If you figure out...

    Looking for an unusual part

    The letters on the outside of the assembly for the lens reads SAE-L-79-MG I of course need the whole works, as the lens is molded into the assembly which is broken. I'm not sure yet how to remove this part from the car. The two phillips head screws in it just turn freely without making any...

    Looking for an unusual part

    I need the lens for the rear license plate lights. I wasn't even sure how to ask for this part under the classifieds section, so I figured I'd post it here. I suspect it may be 94-98 specific, but I'm not sure. One of mine broke and fell off, I suspect the other one will probably do so soon...

    Test engine temp gauge?

    Is there a way to test the engine temp gauge? I drove 3 hours in 90 degree heat on saturday afternoon, and the needle never pointed past the 12 o'clock position, even with the A/C on doing 70-80 mph in 5th gear. I'd like to think that my engine was somehow able to stabilize its temp on its...

    Front wheel hub assembly / bearing question

    Hmmm, that may be worth revising, then. Any idea where I could get that original cased nut? I could call around to some junk yards, but the yards out here in the Syracuse, NY, area all suck, IMHO. Anybody have a part number I could use to try a dealer?

    Front wheel hub assembly / bearing question

    I should add that in the first bearing replacement I did (passenger side), I broke off the casing and dealt with the individual nuts. This time I was working on the driver's side, and eventually decided to go ahead and break off the casing for this one as well, since I had already done that for...

    Front wheel hub assembly / bearing question

    Attached is an image of where I am on this process. The six-sided cap that I was referring to is in the center of the image, and inside of it are several smaller nuts that directly attach the hub assembly to the spindle.

    Front wheel hub assembly / bearing question

    I am replacing the other front hub assembly on my 95 gt (should've done 'em both at once, I know...). I meant to ask this question on the first replacement, but was in too much of a hurry. When I removed the grease cap, the nuts that bolt the hub assembly to the spindle are encased by a...

    Stereo wiring harnesses - am I just crazy?

    Well, it could be that the didn't lead me to the right item at bestbuy. (sorry, I couldn't resist...) But just to be extra specific, I am hoping to find something that will plug in to the jack on the back of my deck, and mate up to the wiring harness in the car. Such a thing does exist...

    Stereo wiring harnesses - am I just crazy?

    I may have been unclear. It looks like the factory wiring is still there, and when the previous dolt installed the aftermarket deck, they then spliced into it after the joint for the factory harness. Something like ------- =========={}=<--------...

    Stereo wiring harnesses - am I just crazy?

    I thought there used to be several companies that made wiring harnesses for varied combinations of "deck made by XX" to "car made by YY". I am asking this because I pulled out the (pioneer DEH-41) aftermarket deck that the previous owner installed in my car and the wiring job left much to...

    Where does the interior battery guage read from?

    While I was pondering the problem this afternoon I borrowed the wife's car and drove to a local auto parts store for a battery charger (with 75amp jumping ability). Upon return I was able to jump the car, which I then allowed to sit on charger for several hours. I'll have to do a more...

    Where does the interior battery guage read from?

    Where does the interior battery gauge read from? My 95 GT wouldn't start this afternoon, and the battery is less than 1 year old. I put a DMM across the terminals and read 11.7 volts. However, the guage in the dash is leaning heavily towards 8. So it seems that the car thinks it has a dead...

    pre-alignment check

    When I changed the wheels (winter -> summer) last month I didn't notice any. I'll try again and see if it's any different. I may have forgotten to mention that I drive this car year round. I hit a couple of particularly nasty potholes this spring / late winter that really shook the car on...

    pre-alignment check

    My 95 GT has been pulling to the right while driving lately, so I'm going to bring it in for an alignment check. However, I've had bad experiences with shops in this area before, so I would like to get an idea for myself of what I need for my car before I bring it in. What alignment /...

    click from front driver's wheel

    I think ford already tried to do that for us years ago... though i don't think it went too well for them ... :) I'll take a look at the rotors then. It occurred to me more recently that the front driver's was the one that I was able to do myself, before bringing my car in for what became...

    click from front driver's wheel

    I've noticed a speed-based click coming from my front driver's side wheel lately. My first guess was the wheel bearing, as I had done the front passenger side recently and figured the front driver's side would be coming due soon. However, I noticed that the sound seems to go away when I am...
