  1. I had a problem with my trac light staying on, (92) I could hear the pump cycling on and off for the first 5 minutes after the car was running then the light would come on. I pulled the Tracloc assembly off the wheel well (3 or 4 bolts), then you can ease it up and out a little to gain access. Removed the high pressure air line from the accumulator and the pump and applied some "o-ring" lube to the o-rings on the fittings, put it all back together and no problems since. I thiink I left a post on here about it too. Good Luck
  2. Afraid to answer, don't want to get any of your mojo...
  3. Thats right, sidelight first, found the reciever /dryer under the passenger side.
  4. I had the same problem, and I was sick of looking at that warning light, so I just changed all of the bulbs--problem solved. Lift the third brake light housing up and pull it towards the front of the car, and it will come out. I had the same problem, also the cruise would trip off, I just went ahead and replaced all the bulbs even though they functioned. No problems since.
  5. I noticed a sticker underhood on my '99 saying to use iridium plugs. Is that good, or bad? Or, in other words, not as long-lasting as the platinums? This is the first I've heard of iridium plugs. Gene I believe iridiums are 90k plugs vs platinum which are 60k. The iridiums have even more heat resistence and allow the use of smaller guage electrodes for "crisper" more powerful spark.

  7. Good Luck,,, best bet is to remove the rear wheels and adjust...
  8. I am curious about this method. At first I thought it would work but didn't have any luck with it. I began to think, the parking brake is a separate system with its own cable and shoes. So my question to the board is: how can driving in reverse and braking hard adjust the parking brake in light of the fact that in this case your using the disc brakes and not the parking brake? Perhaps driving in reverse and setting the parking brake?
  9. 92 Ls here, there is an adjustment up under the car above the drive shaft, this adjustment will tighten the cable and give the parking brake pedal less throw. The other is inside the disk brake itself (unbelievable but effective design) and adjust the parking brake shoes (inside the rotor hub) out with the adjuster spin screw. The adjustment is accessed from the outboard side of the rotor hub. A small rubber plug can be popped out and the adjuster is at 6 oclock. The manual says adjust it to full friction lock (clockwise) then back it off 8 clicks. When I did mine I didn't have to adjust the cable as the peddle now goes about 2/3s of the way to the floor and the brakes set well.
  10. I have the HydroEdge on my 92 LS, I had Falkens' prior, they were horrible, the Hydroedge are an big improvement, as others say, a tad noisey, but I wouldn't say really bad. They handle well, though I've only had them on there for about 2k miles, thus far pretty decent. I bought them new on Craigs for about half of a new tire price, so, Im happy about that as well.
  11. Congrats!!! Trac off light still on?
  12. Check out http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/cat_index.asp This is an awesome source for part numbers and illustrations and they give discounts to members of this site and another.
  13. Maybe pull the head unit out and disassemble a bit to see if you can get the money out of it? I need to pull my rr door panel off as the speaker is blown. I have a pioneer system on the 92 and I had replaced the sub a few months back. I found it was a 2 ohm sub difficult to replace with anything other then stock. I'm wondering, are the door speakers 2 ohm speakers also? Anyone know?
  14. Odd, sounds like a loose or corroded ground wire, the one that comes off the negative post of the battery. Where it connects to the block.
