ok.. i think i got my first electrical issue just about all figured out (the pass side window not working)
But i have now encountered another electrical issue...VERY sure its electrical in nature and NOT a real cooling issue..
someone DID at one time replace the alternator... and here is what i know..
91 lx 170k miles
*with the car running lights off driving the temp gauge rises to the second mark within the "normal" area of the gauge...
*with the car running lights ON driving it goes one full mark higher....
*if i shut the car off completely and leave the lights on the needle slowly climbs till it can not climb anymore...
*the second i shut the lights off it stops climbing...
*shut the lights off prior to shutting the car off the needle acts normal..
this car has been a real wiring/electrical headache.. you guys really helped last time .. where do i even start with this one!...
