Jeff,

Translation from British to American:

"Lock & leave switch" = hit the power lock switch & close the door & leave the car.

Damn thats ugly.As these cars age its going to be interesting to see what type of rust issues pop up.I know the windshield frame can rust out.

Re: CHASSIS ROT and other stuff
 

The metal will have to be cut out and new welded in its nothing that a good shop couldnt handle but without removing the fiberglass in the rear compartment you cant get to the top of that crossmember.

The could possible cut it out repair then reweld back in.

Re: CHASSIS ROT and other stuff
 

I havent seen tomany C-4s with windshield frame rot, but C-3s and C-2s on the other hand have plenty of it I know my 68 has windshield frame issues.

Ok, now that I know what he is talking about, there is a 15 amp fuse in the aux fuse panel underneath the passenger side hush panel. Check that first. Other than that, you need to start following the diag tree in the FSM.

Re: CHASSIS ROT and other stuff
 

ive pulled em all....they all good....so beginning to sound like the servo/switch/wiring

as for my rot.......yes it horrible and must have been like that when l got it 18 months ago....but it took a hammer to reveal the real state of it

going to just patch the flat surface on the bottom of it, drill it everywhere and make sure it stays drained, and paint it.......oh well she never was a trailer queen so l dont mind a less glamorous few patches here and there

Re: CHASSIS ROT and other stuff
 

It took me a while to "get it". Nice to know that there is a location for another fuse in that bunch under the CDM box!

Jeff, would you mind looking over the results of my scan of another member's car to see if I'm on the right diagnostic track?

Re: CHASSIS ROT and other stuff
 

Ahhhhhhh.....l see (or think l do)

another fuse location .....not the side glove fuse box.....'under the kick panel'......will check

many thanks

Re: CHASSIS ROT and other stuff
 

Jeff are you refering to the auxillary fuse box under the passenger side kick panel? If so there are one block of fuses for the MY 90 and Two blocks for the 91-95. They are a bear to get to.

Years ago I replaced the windshield in an 84 I used to own.Whats scary about this is I live in Ca,this car has been in Ca since new and I bought it in 1987.Now this isnt serious rust but it was there.Given the chance it would have rusted out.Another odd thing about this car,the WS had a rubber gasket that had a thread in it.[IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...UG010Small.jpg[/IMG]This picture is with the rust disolved.You can see how pitted the metal is.[IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...te042Small.jpg[/IMG]
