Alright, so the nutbar who sold me my 240SX(now 180SX) never bothered with a LOT of the electrical…and the rest was poorly done (ie: rad fan, pwr mirrors, etc etc)

Firstly, I don’t like driving this car in the winter, and I really shouldn’t, I know. But in the meantime I have to. And this brings to mind some important repairs I most probably need help with (if anybody is in the Ajax/Pickering area)

_REPAIRS:_  
**-wiring for hatch** (incl: rear wiper, brakelight, defroster, spray nozzle)  
**-wiring for cig lighter**  
**-courtesy lamps** (again, the previous owner for some inane reason took them out and I can’t even find the wiring let alone the clips anymore)  
**-my fuel gauge must have a bad ground** because the needle falls/rises super slow (so I may run out of gas before the needle is actually at E…thank god for my low fuel indicator light)  
**-stuck washer nozzles** (could be an easy fix with the right tool(s))

Big ups to Alex(jacktherabbit) for his help - I’ll be callin on ya if ur in the area. But if anybody is around the Ajax/Pick. area and is available as well please contact me at [sempre5@hotmail.com](mailto:sempre5@hotmail.com)

Thanks  
-Tom

Yeah, if it ain’t too cold this weekend we could get a lot done.  
We could do the headliner swap, hatch wiring, and courtesy lights. There’s some other minor stuff but yeah…if you’re down in the area this weekend awesome dude!

I have a new meter (Motomaster) so I’m set to go.

Oh, BTW: do you have a cluster bezel? the black shiny trim that holds the cluster in place. I broke mine trying to get to my cluster (forgot to remove the 2 bolts under column to lower the column even more…so I tried yanking the bezel by the column release lever, which it got caught on)
