Caddy Status

8-31-09 - Last day to get the paperwork done at the county revenue collector otherwise all prices are doubling. I had to transfer an out of state title, register and get plates. 3 hours later and I'm out the door with paperwork and plate, I am excited. I vacuumed out the caddy, the interior is totally shot. When I got her many things were not working, below is a list:
Turn signals Brake lights Head lights Parking lights Power Seats Power Windows All interior lights Radio Clock Speedometer Cigarette lighters PowerAntenna Windshield Wipers

On a positive note I have all new interior skins for the seats and 4 new hubcaps. Oh yeah I found the owners manual in the trunk, super sweet. I decided to take a look at the fuse box and I noticed the turn signal fuse missing. I put one in and now I have turn signals, yipeeee. (time 6hrs)

9-1-09 - No work done, rained all night.

9-2-09 - More good news the turn signal fuse is also the brake light fuse so now I have brake lights. I messed around with the head lights and found out my driver side high beam is blown and my passenger low/high beam is blown. Since all the seals are shot the front cab and trunk are filled with water from the rain last night. I punched out the grommets to let the water drain. I have a cover but it is not waterproof so for now I will use a plastic sheet to cover the car and then the fabric cover. (time 4hrs)

9-3-09 - The good news keeps rolling in. I got the head lights from Autozone, the single high beam is H5001 and the dual high/low beam is H5006. It is nice to be able to see the road at night. I found a power window service manual today and was able to determine that the driver's side switch was not getting power. For the time being I ran a temporary power cable and now I can roll down and up all four windows, that's what I'm talking about. I found the feed and need to see where the short is. Perhaps its just old or the wire is cut somewhere. I think the real issue is I am going to have to rewire the whole car, uggg. (time 5hrs)
