Getting the Wheeling Fever
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5UNOcIX47bDdTl4EgklhYw?feat=directlink
I had a fire start under the drivers side seat, due to electrical problem with power seat. This happened the day before i left for Ca. from NJ. SUCKS. It took 24hours just to clean the soot and ash off most of the stuff. I had to scrub the windows. etc.... BUT, it still ran so i drove it anyway. I picked up a door panel before i left and a new grey power seat while i was pulling into LA.
The only thing that doesn't work is the power windows, which i ran two wires and used a 12v dewalt to i could at least have some air... Gotta due what you gotta due. lol. If anyone is out here and can help me trouble shoot it would be much appreciated.
