I went to our local self-serve yard today to get a windshield for my 1990
Imperial. I also wanted to pick up a cruse control unit. I didn't manage
to get a windshield as they are somewhat difficult to remove when the
temperature is just slightly above freezing. I got the cruise unit though
and it appreas to work fine. I also got a board for the trunk that covers
that deep well in the middle. This well is nice that it is so deep but it
makes it so hard to put things in the trunk because it is only in the centre
and it leaves these little ledges around the sides and front that nothing
will stay on anyway. I found a garage door opener that works on my garage
door and also picked up a set of radiator fans but they turned out to be
non-op. I don't need the fans right away but noticed one day last winter
one of mine made a noise like it had a bad bearing. It was a one off thing
so I'm not worried about it yet.
When I got home, I installed the cruise. I also set to fixing an annoying
issue with the headlights. There was some kind of loose connection in the
steering column as the low beam lights would not operate if I moved the
steering column down to a certain level (just the level I want it at for
daily driving). I took the covers off the column and looked around in
there. I didn't see anything loose so I put it back together. It works
fine now so I must have just changed the wires routing enough to make the
difference. I am not convinced that this wasn't the problem with the cruise
in the first place either.
