I thought I blew a fuse, but it doesn't appear to be that easy February 04, 2011, 08:35:26 PM I got into my car tonight, and I noticed part of my radio didn't like up. It's only the part that displays the station. It still works as if I shine a flashlight at it, it is visible. Now I also noticed my left turn signal does not light up on the dash, but they work on the outside of the car.I checked all the fuses pertaining to the radio, cluster, and signals, and swapped a flasher to no avail. Suggestions? Quote Selected

Neither of which are super easy to change, heh... Quote Selected

Not real hard, just time consuming. Radio out... stay tuned.Well I changed in another radio, and it lit up fine. Which is "good news". Now it sucks because the whole dash has to come apart to fix the blinker.. That really irks me. Those bulbs are less than 2 years old, lol.I was going to install my sequential lights tonight, but the car had other plans... Grr...... end rant.Thanks guys, you were right. Quote Selected

The only good thing is with the floor shift now, I don't have to try to align the thing for the column shifter. Quote Selected

I changed ALL those ridiculous hex head screws to the phillip head screws, the same as hold the dash bezels on. That makes things a whole friggen lot quicker. Next time your at the yard, pull all those phillip screws out of all the bezels on the cars. I've got like a stash of em. And they're all a universal thread so they fit like every screw in the car lol. Quote Selected
