Hey, i have a 2 questions, they have nothing to do with each other but here, first on my brothers 93 gt, the water guage says its low, like the meter is on the first or second bar at the bottom not even half, and the radiator has water, any idea whats wrong, its not hot or anything, maybe just the gauge? then also i was wondering how to make it so that u can turn on your fog lights without turning on your headlights, any manuals or how tos? thanks alot any replies would be great

Thats not a water gauge to tell you the water in the radiator is low, its a tempature gauge telling you how hot the coolant is in the radiator. Sounds like it is reading about right.

low oil pressure is a sign of a tired motor, bad piston rings, lost compression etc....... You should have a leak down test ran. It's probobly a real high mile'r huh.

if you want you fog lights to come on just run wire from the power/key on wire with a relay to them

No problem bro. The main reason for doing that rewire is not just to gain the ability to turn the foglights on with just the marker lights. It's done because Ford used cheap wire that can't handle the load of the headlights and foglights. This results in melting wires, melting headlight switches, and melting multi-function switch (happened to me). It's something everyone should do to be safe, because it can lead to a loss of lights or a fire in the steering column. The light trick is just an added bonus. Make sure you follow the instructions to the T, so you get it right, or have someone with electrical experience do it with you. Good luck!
