I replaced the brake light switch a few weeks back. I had to remove the drivers seat and drop the steering wheel and shaft. Had to remove the access covers too of course. This is so I could lay down under the dash. I'm 76 years old and it was a pain. If I were a lot younger, it wouldn't have been that bad.
I might have stumbled onto something, I unplugged the round plug for the cd player and the radio worked as it should. Has anyone else tried this? I plugged it back in and the radio stopped working and none of the controls worked. Now I have a radio and can get the cd player or at least the control cable for it checked out. Hope this helps someone else out!
NO, I replaced the brake light switch. I didn't touch the radio wires but, the radio doesn't work at all. I tried a different radio and tried a newer radio. I even replaced the relay behind the radio and ran a new antenna wire to the antenna. Tested the old wire and didn't have continuity. The radio i put in was tested before I bought it. I can't stand my own singing!!
My radio stopped working after I replaced the stop switch! The clock lights up but you can't adjust it. Speakers make a sound when you turn the ignition off. Antenna only goes up when you manually make the contact in the solenoid contacts that should move when the coil gets power. Does this switch control the radio functions too?
Found the problem! A previous owner installed an alarm in it and did a poor wiring job. Shorted out the siren and then the wiring. I jump wired around his wiring and car started. I removed his wires and rewired the problem area. Funny thing was, doing the key off & on test didn't show any problem. Having a new top installed next month ( top was down and the car fed a hungry mouse ) New pinstripe to be installed in a few days. Someone used a buffing pad on it, too much pressure or wrong pad. Had a man remove a couple door dings last week, he did an great job. Soon it will look as good as my 1930 concours show car.
My 1991 TC ran fine when it was put in the garage, a few days later it wouldn't start. Engine turns over, battery has full charge, 12 volts going to the ignition coil (new coil didn't help), fuses are good. Could it be the ECM ?
I know this was an older post. Do you have any gas door release levers you made for a TC ?
timandjuliawolfe1@roadrunner.com Need a black or dark brown one.
I rebuilt my own water pump for a 1930 Chrysler after sending it to a professional out west, lasted less than 10 miles after rebuilding then pump seized and broke in half. I remove the string packing, bore out the threaded part for the packing nut for a lip seal to be inserted and use a new polished shaft. Can't see the seal and it looks original. String packing cuts into the shaft after a while. I also installed new oilite bushings.
But, does anyone else own one?
We also own a 1930 Model 70 Royal Coupe that we show at AACA and Concours d'Elegance shows. Brougham was built a few days after the coupe and signed off by the same inspector according to the build sheets. It will stay all original as funds prevent a restoration.
We have a 1930 Chrysler 70, 2 door Brougham and wondered if anyone else has one. Ours is all original, no repaints, runs and drives. Early production with pennon louvered hood and 218 cu in engine.
