Default Update

Well, I just finished the service on my son's 95 850 Turbo. I replaced the timing belt, tensioner, all rollers, water pump, serpentine belt, tensioner, all rollers, both heater hoses, all radiator hoses, all expansion tank hoses, all filters, and the plugs and wires. long story short, it took me about a week working on it off and on (95 degrees plus here near Fresno so I took it easy but still got a good sunburn).

Fired it up and it runs SMOOTH and no leaks, so I guess I can call it a job well done. Many thanks to tech and others for tips and advice along the way. Now I need to change a pesky leaky oil cooler line and fix the broken radio antenna. (motor works, just doesn't raise or lower)

HOWEVER.... I noticed tonight the PRND3L light in the center console has decided to quit, Can anyone tell me the bulb type it takes and how I can change it out?

Thanks again,

Glenn

Cool, good qork. Now replace the vaccum lines with a set from StylinMotors Inc. and get a set of their turbo hoses or get SAMCO turbo hoses.

For the power Antenna Just buy a Mast for it and replace it. Most likely you will have to remove the motor and open it up to retreive parts of the old mast.

The shifter bulb you may only be able to get at the Dealer unless you have a Mini Micro Solder Iron.
They are a very weird bulb setup.
To get to it you will have to remove the Center console.
Start with removing the Cubby in front of the shifter.There is 2 T-25 screws holding it in.They are buy the lighter and coin holder. Then under there is 2 T-15 screws holding the console to the Body.
Once they are removed then open the center console lid. There is a plate in the console that comes out remove it. There is 2 8mm screws you need to remove.
Lastly there is a cover that comes out by the E-brake Handle.Start pulling from by the handle to release.

Then lift the console out. You will be able to see the bulb after that.
