I gotta say: This forum has been absolutely great for tips & info.

I've had this car less than a month and being married & military I have very little time to spend on it (actual repair time less than 15hrs) but already I've:

* Repaired both 1/4 windows (w/ kits fron CJ Pony)
* Replaced the gauge sender in the tank.
* Replaced the speedo cable & VSS.
* Repaired the Airbag system (clockspring test, replaced 2 modules).
* Repaired the turn signal & flasher circuits.
* Repaired trunk release circuit.
* Repaired the dome light circuit & replaced all interior and dash lighting w/ new bulbs.
* Correctly REINSTALLED the aftermarket deck in the dash and bypassed the factory stereo amp system wiring.
* Located & installed a missing exhaust hanger.

All I have left is the slosh module & the cruise & this baby will be 100 percent!

Pics coming after I give the pig a bath. We just got out from under the snow so I'll wash her up once things dry up a bit.

You can count the flashes of the air bag light and decode them. Just Google it

Does your cruise control work? Usually if the horn and cruise dont work, it could be the clock spring

Well that was fun... had it back on the ground less than a day now & I just got my first ticket in over 10 years!!! Cop was a total bitch too...


Hey RT- test both sides of your clockspring with a multimeter. If it's T.U. send me a PM- I have one(for a 90) that I ended up not needing.

COUNT THE FLASHES FOR THE CODE, GO NO FURHER WITH TESTING OR SLAPPING PARTS until you know the code which will indicate what area of the system that needs to be tested
