Big posting gang, hope anyone can help with these many issues. I've checked archives to find other answers but not these.
Here goes:
1) Windshield washers. The four jets have seemed to only want to work 100% of the time 0% of the time. I have tried to clear them with a pin but clearing one side seems to block the other and jets enemically. Do I have to replace the set?
2) The left side of the drivers seatback motor does not work so the right side is lower than the left upon adjustment. Off track? Two different motors? Any fixes?
3) My headlights sometimes do not work. If I push lightswitch up it engages but flickers. Once they didn't turn on and I didn't notice till someone flashed me. I have had front end work done due to being backed into but the damage was at the kidney grills and not the sides.
4) A/C cooling not working but blower does. The "sword" is doing well. I had a recharge 6 months ago. Has cracks in resevoir been an endemic issue? Where is it located? Near the damage as mentioned above?
5) The hood pad is not worn out but a bit tattered and I would like to replace. Any leads as to where to look and how much? I'm a bit "presentation freak" and will be selling the car in the next six months. I once had a '70 2800cs that was completely rebuilt from the engine to the interior but the paint wasn't great and got 3000.00 in trade (ouch!)
To whomever replies I thank you very much. This is a great forum that has a considerable advantage over Roundel where the snobs/editors have the condesending attitude.
Again, thanks.
