its not the color I wanted, but....

you have never before seen rust until you have been to Dutch Harbor AK...

Try Okinawa Japan buddy, the coral dust eats paint all day long.  They use the coral in road manufacture, colol thing is they don't have to scrap cars after 20 years because they just rust away into thin air.

did some stuff.  got the timing belt cover on it that was missing.  installed the red top while I was at it.



then decided the mk2 was losing its wheels :laugh:


working on my turns.  everything works but those.  The inidicator just stays lit and I get nothing.  hazards work, but no turns.  guy had the dash pulled apart when I went to buy it because he was putting a speedo cable in.  I hooked up the cluster just to see the oil lights and water temp work, which did, so I just drove it home :laugh: 110 miles

working on getting the tunes hooked up too


gotta go get some more parts on tuesday

I wonder the same.. Turns worked last time i worked on the car, then I pulled the dash all apart to fix the odometer in the cluster.. and now turns do not work.. DOes not make sense to me?? Is there something n the dash that allows the turns to work? 4-ways work.. turns just light up the cluster light and do nothing.. What has caused this? SORRY FOR JACKING

Nice sub.. 10"? Sealed, Ported or Band-Pass box?

I'd blame a ground somewhere, I had something like that, the right flashers were too fast but the four ways worked. Turned out the ground inside the front right bulb socket was bad.

Do the parking lights work?

[jack's lack]

I had a similar problem with the turns on my rabbit. I had a working turn signal on one side and a working parking light on the other. I started at the switch with my multimeter, and it turned out the shorts were in the bulb socket. I never did find replacements, and I did not have working turn signals until I switched to the euro bumpers. I think there are 3 multi pin connectors that come out of the wiring harness; one for the engine, one for the front (lights horn and stuff) and one for the back. the bentley labels which wires are which. I would start there then you would know whether your short was in the dash, or under the hood before you tore either apart.

A short eh? The cluster light is very dimly on as well.. yet the 4-ways work all three lights. three because one of the front sockets corroded away to nothing. maybe the wires in the corroded one are touching? lol

Rule of thumb, If it an electrical problem that makes no sense, it's probably a ground issue of some variety...

If it cant be fixed by a hammer, you've got an electrical problem!

Yup, I bet your problem is in there somewhere.

Also check that the flashers/blinkers are the same brightness, iirc, with electical problems it might decide to blink the parking filament when it should be the blinker filament. That'll also cause weird blinker speeds.

Not completely true..  Well then again I guess the hammer was more of a diagnostic tool... Early GM MAF sensors and early Mopar map sensors were notorious for intermittent failures..  Typically they set no DTC but the car would run like crap on and off..  As per the factory service bulletins "Lightly tap the sensor with a mallet"...

But I digress, carry on!

[theman53]

I replaced the flasher for my rabbit and it helped with the turn signals. Before it would just stick on after I replaced it then it flashes like it is supposed to...I always tell my sister to check her turn signal fluid, but I think you are past that.

[burn_your_money]

Unplug the hazard switch and the turn signal switch. Plug it back in and repeat 2-5 times. It could just be a bad connection. That's what my problem was on my 89. Although my turn indicator light still dimly glows
