1. sometimes when i turn start the car, the fan comes on full blast and nothing shows up on the climate control or the fuel data... hmmm... so i usually have to turn the car off and turn it back on and it works fine. the other night the same problem happened and i had to wait around for a while to get it to work again... any ideas of what could be wrong?

2. when i turn the heat up to 90 and set it on econ or a/c, it doesnt come out of the dashboard vents... it gradually comes out of the vents by the floor... no matter how warm the car is... it gets warm but is there any reason why this isnt working? or is this how they're supposed to work? if i get it replaced would that help anything?

3. does anyone know where to get a stock radio for an 85? clock is messed up and really tedious to read...


thanks guys i appreciate it!

3: Junkyard. There are plenty of 'em. Especially in a car like this where the stock radio is a: pretty nice and b: hard to remove. You'll have to go out in the yard -cars that old they don't pull the radio and keep it in stock. Shouldn't be too hard though.

ok thanks ill do that, im gonna head out to the local pick n pull this weekend for a 50% off sale and hopefully get a stereo...

Re #2
My 95 FWB does that, also. I thought it was the way it should be since there is a tiny bit of warm air coming out of the dashboard vents.
Yet I have no complaints since the ENTIRE CABIN warms up quickly, despite the fact that the dash vents don't push warm air like they do cool air with the A/C.
Maybe there's something wrong with MY car :eek:

Thats how the heat works. On mine it changes around and after a while you can feel it blow out of the big vents but then it will go back to not blowing out again. Its automatic. Just set it at whatever temperature you want and leave it there.

okay thanks guys helped alot! now to get that f****** dent taken out...
