The headlight dimer switch works, but turns the instrument lights off
I have had the dash apart for weeks, The headlight pull switch failed. I got a new one from Charles Fares. Thank you Charles!! The speedometer failed, There are a few places where this problem could come from and this one was a bad cable from the transmission to the cruise control unit. I pulled the standard steering column out and installed a tilt column with a recast steering wheel (thank you Jason and Russ!!). I had melted AC and heater conectors – I replaced these. Along the way I…See More

rust in fuse box
1963 cadillac. The fuse box under the dash is rusted. It is always thin but it is on the fuse clips and also behind the box. This box is black with white letters. I would like to remove the rust, but getting a wire wheel in there seems hard. Using chemicals that do not effect the plant or the white lettering is a little risky. How can these be cleaned to get the conductivity back. Any ideas??See More

Help a couple in their 80s with a Cadillac???
Posted on March 7, 2014 at 12:16am 1 Comment 0 Likes
There is a couple in their 80s about ready to celibrate their 50th wedding anaversery. Their son saw my 63 Cadillac in San Diego and he is trying to find a 1960-1964 Cadillac in Las Vegas in the spring for a ride. Why? It seems these couple had a 1962 Cadillac when they were married 50 years ago. The son wants to do something nice for them and find “the car” to take them to a nice dinner or show.
If you have a nice Cadillac in Vegas, I would like to connect you…

Transmission swap on a 1963
Posted on June 28, 2013 at 3:05am 2 Comments 0 Likes
My Jetaway in my 1963 convertible is giving me problems....again. It has 10K on a rebuild. The transmission has been a problem some years and I have a lot of money into it. I have not found a good transmission guy, so I am thinking.
Does anybody have specific parts and instructions for a 700R transplant?? I am thinking that I might just get rid of the Jetaway and the headaches from the thing.
Any Ideas???

3. A Mercedes 1999-2000 CLK430 switch (square) WO133-1893249

Bad Guage?
Posted by Karl Schwarz on August 26, 2020 at 3:08pm 6 Comments 0 Likes
So I am troubleshooting my fuel gauge issue. I bought a new sender and tested it. It it goes from 1-ohm (empty) to 35-ohm (full). When I test it (outside the tank), when the float is in the up (full) position it only moves the gauge to about 1/2 full. When at the bottom (empty) position the gauge shows empty. This is the same issue I have when I fill and then use the gas in the tank - the gauge never reads ore than half full. Based on what I've read on this thread it would seem like the…
