Last weekend, I decided to bring the TC back to life after a 5 year hiatus. All it needed was a battery, and some air in the tires. The plan was to tag it as a classic and drive it once in a while, and work on fixing the bugs as time goes.
After driving it to the beach, and getting 28.6 mpg, I’ve decided it should be a daily driver (My Volvo only gets 24), so now I must work out the bugs, all 3 of which are electrical
1. I managed to rip out the wires in the plug down by the reverse light switch, so I had to run a wire from the ignition harness straight to the starter solenoid in order to be able to start the car with the key.. I reconnected the wht to wht at the 4 pin plug, but that didn’t do anything. I cannot figure out where the other 3 wires were connected to. The white wire appears to be the reverse lights, but they still do not work.
2. The low fuel light was on constantly (see my post from 4 years ago, LOL), but I fixed the voltage input to the dash, and it worked correctly at first. The problem is now, it will come on at random times even though I am not low on fuel. It seemed to have a delay before to allow for the sloshing of gas when cornering stopping etc…, but now will flicker on and off randomly
3. The PRC has never worked since I bought the car 10+ years ago. I pulled the pass front actuator apart (code 3) last night and it works, but the brushes on the motor are running past the end of the contacts. The FAQ mentioned about rubber stops, which I assume is to prevent this, but I do not know where or how they could go.
Any help is appreciated. I am not young enough anymore to be ok with driving a car with stupid little problems. This car needs to be 100%, then the mods begin.
