I have an 85 GN project car...when it sits for a few days the battery drains and car wont start. Today when i was running car and turned headlights on, the battery light came on. Any ideas??
Well, i just installed new power window motor and found out, the gorund was bad. What can I do to correct this problem? Ive alreay sanded connections, and wd40 the door hinges. Still no ground, so I have ran a wire to the door jamb.....
Now i see lights dim when i hit the window switch, but nothing happens..Ive drilled 2 rivits out, motor still wont come out. It feels like its hung up where the gear is on the motor..This is a pain in my @$$!!!! Damn car.. also just burned my finger on the new ground i made :mad:
Ok, makin a little progress..checked the ground located on the door panel, and its not good! So i took off sanded the contact areas, and still not grounding....
Im going outside right now to check the ground, and Ill check to see if there is power where the connector goes into the motor.
Thanx a lot!! Ill let you know what happens.....
Ohhh, another thing, When I leave the battery connected, somthing is draning the battery...i guess its done it ever...
Anyone have specifics on changing a motor out?? The directions scare me. They say that you have to put a bolt in this special place to the spring dosent unravel and hurt you or break your car! I cant figure out where, and im not sure what will happen if i start drilling out rivits, not knowing...
So Ive checked the fuse, its good. Just put in new swicthes, still not working. Ordered a motor off ebay, and the directions are not really helping. Anyone have any tips or links on taking old one off and installing new motor? Im getting pretty frustrated with this!
AWESOME! thanks for the info..I think im gonna go for it. Ive been looking on ebay...about 150-250 for the intercooler. My 85 GN is bone stock, what do you think it will pull quarter miles times, and what else should i do to my hot air buick???
Im really interested in hooking up a Ford powerstroke intercooler..even if it is hell to get going! Do you have any pics, advice, sites, or any info on doing this? And where is the best place to buy one cheap? Ebay, or junkyard?
Its been sitting for a few months, and today i charged the battey up and the car wont start. Its turns, and starts for a second, then dies. It sounds like its trying to run, car shakes, then dies. Where do i start? Its always started no problem!
The tach does not work. A couple of the lights are out, and it stays totally lit up and dosent work. What do i do?
The gas gauge is wayyyy off too. I out some gas in yesterday and the little white indicator went way into the dash. How do i fix this problem?
Im picking the rear end gasket up when i get the fluid. Or do i need to get that from GM? Where can i get that magnetic plug your talking about? And thanks for the welcome! Im really excited about picking this car up. Ive been very interested in them since I was a little kid.
