I am having a fit with my power antennae. The PO of my car cut the harness to install a sony head unit. It works fine, but the power antennae wont go up or retract. The motor is fine. If I jump it under the hood it performs flawlessly. Although the wires were all spliced I can see that...

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question – but you don’t know what something looks like until you’ve seen it. I’ve had my ’86 GN for about a year now and I’m still trying to figure out how everything works. I took it out for a drive a couple of weeks ago and when I got back I...

I need to rent (or buy if the price is right) a car trailer or tow dolly in or around Boston/Connecticut for a few weeks. My little brother is in the Navy (submarines) and is changing commands. I am flying up to bring one of his vehicles home and would like to rent a trailer or a heavy duty...

When I bought my ’86 GN recently the radio wouldn’t receive anything and the antennae wouldn’t work. I assumed it was a bad power antenna and just resigned myself to having to swap it out. Interestingly enough I noticed that I could jump power to the antennae connection under the hood and the...

I have the standard problem with my T tops where water leaks in and drips (pours) through the sun visor bracket. If I’ve done my research correctly the sealant from the factory has broken down, so even though I have good seals the water is coming in where metal meets metal. I believe the...

I’ve traced my strange combination of issues (overheating, sluggish performance, etc.) to a bad alternator. I don’t want to put an after market alternator on and have to do it again in a few months so I was looking at an AC Delco unit from one of our vendors, but I'm afraid the shipping is...

I had a couple of issues pop up at the same time and I’m hoping someone has seen this combination before. I took the car out twice last Saturday. The first time I noticed it getting a little warm (200-210). I didn’t think it was that big of a deal since it was a very hot day and I was fully...

For a driver, 3rd vehicle that is never going to the track and is rarely raced – is it worth it to upgrade to the chrome moly flexplate, or should I just stick with stock? It’s a four hour job to replace the flexplate and I don’t want to have to do it again anytime in the near future, but the...

My car is down waiting on a new accumulator I ordered, but in the meantime I think I may have cracked a header or blown a gasket. I’m still a complete newb with this car so I was hoping for a little diagnostic help. I’ve read the threads about problems with the headers, but I really didn’t...

Hello. New GN owner here. I’ve had turbo fox body Thunderbirds for several years and always lusted after a GN. Recently my wife surprised me with an incredibly clean 86 and I’m having a great time. I’m already suffering from the dreaded Powermaster problem and I’m looking for some help...

I have a question about my powermaster I was hoping I could get some help with. I’ve only had this car about a week and I’m just starting to look into a few of the small mechanical issues. I’ve done a search on the powermaster issues, and read all the diagnostics, but what I’m seeing is...

I’ve searched to find the answers to a couple of questions, but as far I haven’t been able to. I suck at the internet so my apologies if I am overlooking it. I believe I know the differences in an 86 and 87 GN (almost entirely cosmetic), but it seems to me that an 87 will sell for...

I know this question has been asked a thousand times, and I’m sure the answer is somewhere on gnttype.org, but I can’t nail it down. Can someone either tell me or point me somewhere where I can learn about the differences and specifics of the different models (GN, GNX ,we4, Turbo T etc.)...
