So I called a locksmith, and this idiot shows up stoned, wants $240 and works for 2 hours and can't do it. I Ordered a new switch with 2 keys for $18 and drove it into work today. Hey Dreno, are Canadian locksmiths different than the ones in the states? I have called 3 in my 44 years and none of...

I think I will try this. By the way the wife and the kids got home safe on the bus.

So, I lost my only key somewhere last night. Just got a call from my wife and her van got towed, and she has 6 kids with her on a feild trip in Downtown LA. How can I get my car started so we have at least one vehicle running?

Woo Hoo! Picked up the fusible link last night on the way home as the parts store was closing, put it on and the wagon fired right up, looks like it is charging too. Drove the kids to school, then took the car in to work today. Nice to have her back on the road.

Crap! I did not think of that. I traded it in last night with the new brushes in it.

Where did you end up getting your fusible link? I just blew mine on the Dart Wagon.

So I got the alternator tested... BAD. So I wasted $1.60. But I hooked up the alternator wrong and fried some stuff. That's what I get for trying to be cheap. Now I need a new fusible link, cause I pulled mine off and I guess there is supposed to be wire in there, not just a floppy hollow...

So is the fusable link that little plastic block thing on the firewall? There is a wire on the firewall that says "Fuseable Link" on it but it does not go to the white plastic thing, and it looks OK from the outside. I guess the first thing I need to do is have the altenator checked. Then I need...

This is from another post of mine, but I hope more people will see this. It looked like my alternator was bad so I ordered new brushes (cause I am low on funds, of course) So I got the brushes today. Put them in, hooked up the alternator, connected the positive cable and... POP-Sizzle! Smoke...

So I got the brushes today. Put them in, hooked up the alternator, connected the positive cable and... POP-Sizzle! Smoke came off of the wires going into the firewall, I pulled the cable off, black was loose. Now it is dead. What happened? and how can I fix it? HELP!

That sounds good, be nice if this only costs me $1.60. I will have to look for that article.

OK, I have a new question. How likely is it that this is the regulator? The ameter works but shows that the battery is not charging. I have the brushes on order from Kragen for $1.60 so I will give that a shot but it will take 2 days to get them. They have a whole alternator in stock on hold...

Ii think that is what I will do then. Everything was working great, then it stopped charging. Even after, the gauges and everything work, so I hope this will do it. Cause like everyone else today I am short on funds. I see Rock auto has them, is there a chance I can find them in town in stock?

Hi Guys, I went to the swap meet in Pomona yesterday, had to get there at 4:00 in the morning, and my 9 year old daughter went with me. So she wants to listen to the radio for a while after we get there. When we go to leave the battery dies. I get a jump but the car does not charge. I get...

I did that a few times and the lights would come back, but it just kept getting worse. Got in the Wagon last night and the dash lights work great. All I need to figure out now is the Temp gauge, it has not worked since I replaced the radiator. Any guesses?

Got a new light switch at Kragens for less than $20 and put it in. It looks like the old one burnt out. Fuel gauge is now working too.

I made time to work on this over the break. I replaced the light switch with one from Kragen ($18 if I remember) When I took out the old one I could see where the connector had heated up and melted some. I got it hooked back up and the headlights are working, and so is my fuel guage. But I am...

Thanks guys! That was exactly the info I needed. New headlight switch is now in, and my fuel gauge is working again!

I am trying to get the instrument cluster off and can't figure out how these knobs come off! I have removed the rings behind the knobs and all of the screws on the dash but the knobs are still in the way.

I was jiggling the light switch last night and all of my gauges started working! I have to get in there next week while I am off and get this stuff squared away.

Definetly putting this on the to do list. That would be great if that is all that it is. The gauges did work when I got the Wagon at end of August, but I have replaced the battery and radiator since then and the gauges have been getting more iffy since. I have run out of gas 3 or 4 times now. I...

I am pretty sure I need one of these too. My dash lights went out, but the headlights are staying on better now. (still blink off when the engine gets warm) I just looked online and it looks like a new one is $11-$27 This is the $11 one STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS Part # DS165T More Info...

Yeah I turned on my lights the other night and they did not come on. I wiggled the switch and they came on, so it must be the switch I think.

Right now that is the only gauge that works right. Also I have no power accessories (no air, no radio) except for the rear window. But that has quit working on me now too.

Thanks guys! My wagon just started doing this too. Also my Temp and Fuel gauges only work about once a month. I got a new 5V regulator but have not installed it yet. I have replaced the Battery, Radiator and Waterpump. I better go back and check all my grounds now.
