Hey guys!
Well, long story short I traded my Integra for a 91 5.0 GT. I presumed it only needed paint and a parking brake cable...but much to my luck it needs a lot more work and this car has been gone through very terribly by the previous owner.
I started by replacing all the fuses back to their respective amperage fuses, which totaled about 6. Two were blown. I managed to get the radio, cruise control and horn to work again.
Here are the current problems:
1. Power mirrors do not work. We tested the switch with a volt meter and from what I believe, the switch has gone bad. Is this common?
2. The cigarette lighter keeps popping a 20A fuse the moment I plug it in. We tested ground, power and continuity and they are all within range. My buddy says I need a new cig lighter port. Is this common as well?
3. Power locks (I know this is common), I realized the previous owner went back to manual locks after they more than likely quit working.
4. Parking brake cable - This is very annoying. I thought i would just need a cable replacement but it appears the primary cable (or what you would call the cable that connects directly to the handle) is broken. The handle has since come unwound from the spring, and looking under the car I feel as if something is missing to connect the two actuating pivots to one line. Does anyone have a picture of what it's supposed to look like under the vehicle? This is what mine looks like....
5. Clutch cable adjustment - This is also very annoying. I had attempted the lift method per factory procedures and it isnt helping. It's still engaging until about 1-2 inches from dead bottom out on the floor. How do I adjust this mount? It doesn't look factory equipment. It is threaded near the firewall.
6. My horn sounds like a Kia horn. It may be malfunctioned, but take a look at this picture....how screwed up is my wiring?
7. In one of the images you will see what looks like a ground wire that was ripped or cut. Any idea where this is suppposed to run?
You will also see that my ground cable for the battery was replaced and it runs to the AC Mounting bracket. Is this okay?
8. There is (what appears) a ground strap mounting ear on the firewall next to the passenger side hood bracket, my other fox was just like this. Is something missing?
9. I have a concern about the shifter being a little loose. I checked the bolts that mount the shifter arm to the secondary piece and they are tight, but its still looseish. Is this normal? Here's the video. It's in 1st gear at the time. - Fox Body Factory Shifter Possibly Loose - YouTube
If anyone could help on ANYTHING, I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. She's currently sitting in the air and my garage queen is now getting rained on and making me sad haha.
Thanks so much guys!!!
