You're in Antioch, right? I could run it by if you want and let you check it out.

Mine is riddled with sun damage "pimples" all over the gauge cluster hump and in front of the warning light surround. I'm in Smyrna off of hwy 24 exit 70, Almaville Rd.

Yep, tomorrow @ 6p.m., Toots on Broad

I might actually have the 7 at the meet for once. It's actually better at transporting parts than my 6. Can't really fit much in the 6 as far as bigger parts.

FerociousP · 03-22-2010, 09:23 AM

I'll be there in the SA if I get the axles back in and get the brakes done an bled on Tuesday (taking the day off). The left wheel bearing was growling pretty bad so I'm glad I'm doing it... and I have tunes!

My5ABaby · 03-22-2010, 09:33 AM

79 SA has tunes and I don't. I really need to work on this whole no radio thing. I need something to drown out my trannys whining.

To all you 2nd gen owners, I've always been curious but forget to ask whenever we meet up. Do your selections on the switch unit (such as the "head", "feet", "defrost", etc.) illuminate? I cant see the damn things at night to make the selections so I have to use the dome light to differentiate them.

About 1/2 of mine work. I'm not sure if the lights are burned out or if the actual buttons don't work. I'll have to do some experimenting.

Anyone have these items they want to part with:
New Driveshaft seal-non turbo for 91vert

Drivers side electric window switch for 91 vert
Bring them with you if you want to part with them.
Thanks
Rich

I have a center air vent for S5 (Same vent for coupe and vert I think?) but one of the horizontal pieces is broken off and missing. I'll bring it tomorrow it's yours if you want it.

The bottom row where you select temp lights up on mine... most of the time. The top row where you select which vents you want air at, the lights are all out. I tried replacing the bulb but no luck. It's a candidate for the soldering iron if I ever get around to pulling it back out again... such a PITA.

See you all tomorrow!

FC Zach · 03-22-2010, 10:28 PM

Good to know that the lights in mine worked at one point in time, forever I actually thought it was designed that way.

"I tried replacing the bulb but no luck. It's a candidate for the soldering iron if I ever get around to pulling it back out again... such a PITA."

Now I just have to find out why there not working, I'll get on this possibly in the morn.

"About 1/2 of mine work. I'm not sure if the lights are burned out or if the actual buttons don't work. I'll have to do some experimenting."

Thats how my clock is, it works when it want to and I'm not sure if its the idiot light display, the connection in the back, or both? ? ? not a big enough problem for me to care enough about so I ignore that little issue.

The idiot light cluster issue is caused by cold soldering... I bought a "reman" from Icemark because I was too lazy to fix it myself. I'd be willing to bet the logicon suffers from the same issue. The buttons on mine light up it's the back lighting that shows which button is which that is out on mine.

yep, it is the typical 2nd gen electrical issues. They all will have them at some point.
