Default A Big Wasssssupppppp to the LexNation!

Ron Brown here....yet another new guy to the forums! Retired Army and glad to be a member of the club! I must say this site holds a goldmine worth of information, tips and tricks to have my 94' running a long time. Just bought it about a month ago with 170k miles on it for $6,000. I have not experienced all the issues it may have but the ones I did find were correctable with help from the site.

I was reading about the dash lighting issues and mine has a slight twist. During regular driving I got the same problem with the ABS light and others coming on then resuming normal operation but when it happens I lose headlights and power as well. Went to Autozone and Battery / Alt are good. Is this something serious or is there a fix for it.


Here she is!

Happy Holidays LexNation!

Looking through the marketplace for some centercap covers ut no dice, everyone seems to be selling rims back and forth to eachother, lol. Is this a difficult item to find or can I refurbish them myself?

Thanks
Ron B.
