how can i bypass the seat belt alarm from keeping the engine from starting, just unplug it or does a jump wire have to be installed how can i raise the electric antenna when it is all the way down and stopped working stephen
Welcome to v8buick, and your first post !! :beer :TU: On the antenna, make sure it's getting +12 VDC power through the switch and that the antenna motor is grounded properly. If the motor is working, and you can hear the spring clutch working, the motor is OK. If the upper antenna mast with the cable is siezed or broken, it will require removal of the antenna assembly for an o'haul, and replacement parts. "Bench" test the antenna assembly with a 12V battery to determine the exact problem, and repair as needed. :TU:
"wardencaro": Don't forget to introduce yourself in the "Wet behind the ears??" section of the board :TU: Also, put your first name in your signature, otherwise we will not remember it :beer Check the "The Bench" section of the board, a few days ago I posted a 1974 Riviera test, done by Popular Mechanics magazine.
wherever you see a red circle, follow those wire to the nearby place where they end. permenantly remove that relays (the red X) from their plugs and make a 10 gauge jumper and jump those two wires to each other. you can do it to the one under the hood or the one under the dash OR both to make it double good. if the light on the dash still tries to bug you, i think you can unplug the connector shown in the orange circle. cars made for export to Canada had a jumper block installed on the under the hood block instead of a bypass relay.:Smarty:
OMG!!! you have had this car a week and still no manual? WTF is wrong with you? have you lost your mind? what planet are from? dont you know everyone can afford one, even if they dont need it and only need to ask just one question EVER in their life about the car? if you DO buy one, you better make sure it has all the pages, all the answers, so we dont have to treat you like this EVER again!! Merry Christmas! sincerely, eric with a "c"
