Anyone know how to diagnose the illumination of the switches on the right
side (defrost, ecs, active exhaust, rear wiper)?  The backlight doesn't turn
on on that side for some reason?  but all of the buttons still work!

Also, my active exhaust switch broke.  I took it apart it appears once of
the hinges snapped, wonder if I can order just that switch?  It still works
but is loose.

Thanks.

I have the same problem entering my driveway every day, does anybody know if
I can safely put a switch on the ABS fuse to disable it when entering my
drive???? can this be turned on and off safely while the car is running?

thanks!!!

No, my 92 RT/TT ABS gives me the same (ahemmmmm) performance.....
Now, you probably start to understand why I DISABLE it on snow :-)

Damn you Oskar!!! You gave away a Minnesota 3/S secret mod.  :)  j/k 
Several things will work to hold the wind deflector down.  Oskar and I use a

experiment with a few things or I'll show you at the next gathering.

not sure If you got my previous email about Cory and his five speed [ see below ]
I would also like to know how much Southern charged for the bearing/seal set.
MD Auto sells the bearing/seal kit for $225/$175 and GTR motorsport sells the
bearing kit for $180 --- I think they also have a seal kit but I'm not sure.

I'm not sure what the oil director is but I assume it's the black plastic insert
for the intermediate shaft bearing [ see attached photo ]. Try talking to Cory
at  Patryn8@aol.com he was parting out a five speed.

Hi Henri,

If you have the Blitz DSBC (DBCS), then you may have the same problem I had.
Check the little connector that is at the solenoid end of the system
(connects the solenoid to the controller box).  I had one of the pins go
back into the connector housing breaking the contact, and hence the solenoid
is always open, giving a max boost of around 6psi.  You can also test this
if you have a multimeter (set it to resistance measurement), buy
disconnecting the connector to the Blitz controller and measuring the
resistance between the wires which go to the solenoid (blue and white wires
from memory).  If there is high resistance, then the connector is probably
to blame.

Hope this helps,

Simon.

This is a note to inform everyone that PacBel suffered approximately a 30
minute outage between 12:15a and 12:45a here at the bunker.

A large section of the San Jose area DSL grid was affected, and the
offending hardware (Redback ATM Aggregator) has been kicked hard in just the
right spot.

I hope nobody saw a disruption or a bounce.

Thanks.

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on finding a

First, our ECU cannot get a chip upgrade, because the program is within the MPU ! The only way to upgrade the computer is to install a daughterboard and to adapt the stock program. For a non-turbo car this will give you around 7hp if any and in my option, $780 for 7hp would be the most money wasting I ever heard of ! Some will promise you 22hp but I'd not believe in this as changing the fuel maps and ignition maps doesn't help a lot. Especially not on a non.turbo.

This happened to me two weeks ago (same switch!).  I ordered a new one
from Tall. Mitsu:

I submitted the order two weeks ago and have not yet received the part,
but I don't necessarily blame this on Tall. Mitsu (the APO CMR here is
often puzzlingly slow).  I did get a confirmation Email and am confident
it's on its way.  The part I asked for was the entire switch, not just
the plastic rocker.

Good luck!
