I just recently bought my Fox about a week ago, its an 88 GT with 73 + miles on it all stock got it got 3500 and it runs strong, i do have the little squeaks and noises that most have and of course the infamous astray cover being crap. Although my interior is in decent shape. Also my map light doesn't work as well and my fog lights just went out like two days ago. I've seen some people with the map light issue but wondered if anyone actually had a solution to this prob? I havent had the fun of working on the car on a constant basis but even being so new to the Fox body i absolutely love it. :]

I've had mine for 16 years, and my ashtray door still works. Of course all the friggin paint is flaking off it...

+1 on the bouncing speedo needle, rattling ebrake handle, bypassed heater core, and alternator.

The alternator went bye bye, and I did the 130 amp 3G alternator fix. Now it has plenty of juice, even with the electric fan. Now to tackle the dreaded heater core...

My map light works, my ashtray works but the only problem i have is my damn foglights stopped working and also when i switch to high or low beams, sometimes the headlights go out. But my fox has been great to me.

Been having this issue myself, flickering real bad, and does it with dims on long enough. I read it happens a lot with updated headlights, the issue is rig up a relay system

1) douchebag drivers
2) broken seat mounts
3) heater core
4) rust on the trunk/hatch underlip, and behind the rear wheel

After reading all this, I just went to my fox and the damn power locks don't work and when I slam the passenger door, the door will unlock itself. Damn all of you. :/
