[V8] Re: Cluster

[Steve Kramer]

Huw,  I don't like the sound of V8's you've ruined.

I would hope according to my mechanic at Foreign Car Clinic in Arlington
Heights, Illinois that it's just a matter of replacing or cleaning this
resistor.   This repair I will leave to him but from what it sound like from
Keith at Audiconnection - this is a 2 hour job -  I think I will defer this
to another time.

My next question is that my lights on my dash are intermittent - bad/
oxidized connections.  How does one remove the covers and clean the
connections for the rear defogger, fog lights, rear fog light, antilock
brake.  Also want to replace my driver's side seat heater switch.


Thanks

Steve Kramer
