well went out tonight and found I don't have any juice to the wire needed to get power to the bulbs. then looking under dash  there is 5 junction blocks attached to the fuse block panel under dash. one in middle has a fried wire. when I say fried i mean melted the casing, wire exposed and melted to another wire fried!!.. not sure what it goes to but I'll have to find out, and run a new wire. probably why the battery kept going dead on previous owner. it would definitally be a short...lol

Out of the cars that I have owned, 3 of these have had a bad master cylinder. They keep going up in price for some reason.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

ok well went on a goose chase tonight... tracing the wires down. one end of two wire went into the fuse panel. anyone have list of the fuses the way they are laid out? it says see owners manual... yeah right.. don't have one. Any ways the nuckle heads before me or before the previous owner who sold it to me, stuck a 40 amp fuse in. I have never seen a 40 amp fuse on any car. so it fried the wire from the fuse box under the dash, all the way out to two plugs. melting into the wires laying next to them as well. so I got them out and now I have to figure out how to get the pr0ngs out so I can re install them. one will be easy, the others??? not so easy, one is in fuse block under dash. May end up having to pull dash out so I can make sure other wires are fine. How hard is it to get dash out? It needs a new top anyways. Any who.. wires that were fried were shorting out on E-brake assembly and draining battery. So far so good.
Thanks all. Take care,
