  1. Yea!! My rear defrosters work again. Lately I've been hoping for frost just so I can turn them on. 🙂 Thanks Again dship
  2. dship my #2 fuse 25 amp for the Defog on the passenger side was toasted. I dont know what caused that but surely thats my problem hoping for frost in the morning so I can test it. Thanks Again for your help Mary
  3. Thanks so much for responding I will check them out. Hopefully it's just a fuse.
  4. My rear defroster quit working on my 1990 Buick Reatta. The plug is tight on the window. I have never had a problem with the working. Makes ne think its a fuse or relay. Any help would be much Appreciated as to where to start. Thanks
  5. Sorry...Its a 1990 Buick Reatta Thanks! Any help would be much Appreciated
  6. So my rear defrosters stopped working. The plug is tight going into the rear window. It worked flawlessly up till recently. Is there a fuse that operates the defrost elements? If so, where is it located? Thanks in advance
  7. I took my Reatta rims to a wheel shop to have the rims and caps polished, to my Horror they removed the centers from the caps and then glued them back in after polishing the caps. The centers were damaged and looked like hell, I did not tell them to remove the centers! If that was not bad enough they also ground two of my rims down passed the embossed Buick on the wheels. Long story short after threatening them with a law suit, they agreed to find me different rims and start over, but we still had to find New Centers ( mine were perfect) before they messed them up. I contacted Steve and he had some NOS centers that he agreed to sell the shop, I think it was like $125 for all four. I wished he had asked more, the shop would have paid what ever at this point to avoid a law suite and to be rid of me. They also replaced my rims and did do the polishing I requested. My point is this, if you are holding on to NOS parts that are unattainable anywhere else, who's to say what the price should be? I sell on E bay from time to time, it always seems to me if I sell something of what I think is in Great shape for a reasonable price, I will get complaints, but if I sell at a higher than reasonable price I never hear anything, go figure.
  8. thanks Ronnie I guess they're all made out of plastic now because I have yet to find one with a metal nut
  9. I am looking for I believe a Oil Level Sender for my 1990 Reatta, it mounts to the side of the oil pan. I have a wire hanging down under the car, I know it hooks into this Sender or Sensor. The sensor screws into the side of the pan via a large steel nut, with a connector in the center. The ones I see available for sale at Advance and Reilly's even Rock Auto, appear to be make of some type of nylon, I don't see the metal nut like which is on my old one. Does anyone know where I might find one of these thing, and what they are called for sure?
  10. Ok, I disconnected the Red Plug within the Drivers Door, the Door Ajar Light went out, not sure what else will not work because of this, but all seems fine and all works as it should. Thanks for all your help
  11. I am trying to disable the "Door Ajar" light on my dash. It has been on since the day I bought the car, 7 yrs ago. I have the door panel off, not sure which wire to cut. Fixing the switch is not an option for me, I'd rather not go that route. I read somewhere how to do this, just don't remember where. Does anyone know which wire to cut, to turn that annoying light off? Thanks in advance for your help.
  12. Yes, the whole assembly has to be removed on Drivers side to replace the bulbs, I removed the air cleaner box to no avail, then the washer bottle, same story, but hey since it was out of the car I figured I'd give it a good cleaning, so my trying to take a short cut to the bulbs wasn't a total waste, washer bottle looks new now, sort of puts the rest of the engine bay to shame, so you guessed what my next project will be. Ha ha
  13. So then are they 2057, with the exception of the Reverse bulbs?
  14. Does the tail light use all the same bulbs all the way across, and are they 2057 for all the sockets, or do the center sockets take different bulbs? I saw a diagram once of the tail lens, don't remember where, that showed which bulbs to use where. Thanks for your help.
  15. Thanks for the replies. I will let you know which route I end up taking, going to try removing the air cleaner box first. If that fails, I will remove the assembly, the last time I had it out I painted the mounting screws white, so I could find them easier for the next time I ever had to get it out again. I guess my future planning may have paid off for me for once. ha ha
  16. Need help or advice as to access this bulb. I have to change the cornering light (white light) on drivers side. Do I have to remove the whole light assembly? Or can I access this light by removing the air cleaner box? All my other lights work, this is the only one that is out. Your help would be much Appreciated. Thank You In Advance.
  17. Hi I need help in finding where the blinker flasher is located is it under the hood or inside the car somewhere? Please someone point me in the right direction. Thanks In Advance
  18. Looks Great!!!!Good Job!!!! Enjoy!!!
  19. I saw one of these cables for sale on e bay from reattapartscalifornia eBay item number: 321383868752 I have personally purchased Reatta parts from this seller and have always been very please with my purchases. Steve has a wide selection of Reatta parts and very hard to find Reatta Convertible parts.
  20. thanks David, I understand now about the silicone. I replaced the rear speakers last year, just been putting off doing the door speakers, I will check out the tweeters while I am in there, also, the door ajar wires. Thanks
  21. Thanks, I did notice that the rubber boot was not attached to the car, guess I have to see whats going on with that, I will check the contacts and fix the boot, I will silicone it in place. I do have some of these on reserve, I pulled some at the pull a parts when I was trying to fix the door ajar. once I found out how difficult it is to get to that switch in the door, I just figured it was easier to live with the light. I may just cut the wire one day, while I have the door panel off, I want to replace the door speakers, so while I am in there I will cut the Door Ajar Wire. Thank Very Much for the Information,.
  22. Remove letters, clean outer lens, tape off light bulb holes, I used Blue Painters Tape drop off at paint shop, they will prep. the lens, I guess they will wet sand it. They have to use a Paint Adherent., like Bulldog, then they mix a dab of paint color, this case black, with clear and then spray it. I paid $40 to have mine done. Then when it comes back I re glue the letters with clear silicone while the lens is still OFF the car. Make sure the letters are facing up, light holes down, balance on a table or something, just press down and let dry overnight. then reinstall into car. Done. Beautiful!!!
  23. Ok I hooked up the battery Sunday night, no false alarms since.Jimmyk you may be onto something about the neighbors visitors. I will post if it goes off again. I did check the door jam switches and trunk lock, nothing sticking that I could see. Will post if it goes off again. Thanks again for your comments
