Anybody else getting an ERR message when you put a CD in? Is it just from the heat/humidity? Also, has anybody else tried putting using Mobil 1 oil? I'm thinking about switching to this soon. |

Recently bought '93 J30. It had the right headlight busted. I put one in that I got from a junk yard. It will not work. I do not know where the find the headlight relay. Can anybody help with this? Also, the stereo will not play. I have it pulled from the dash but am unable to get it to work. Does anybody have any ideas? What is the easiest way to sew the seam of the driver's side seat cover? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I have just purchased a 93 J30. The car drives great. It does have a little stiff steering when Parking. The suspension has a Loud thug/knock when going on speed bumps. I did an inspection the Power steering fluid was over full; I fixed that. The Radius Rod bushing were gone. I have the new bushing I will have to take to a shop to have them pressed on. Anyone else have similar problem. The sun roof I can hear the motor work but it does not open The driver side door has a broken key in it. The car has 12k mikes on any and all info will help Thanx |

Replying to: 94j (Jun 14, 2006 10:35 pm) I offer the following summary, with my comments, added for those who may yet need this good bit of advice. The instrument lighting dimmer switch on the J30 can be serviced (replaced or cleaned) by unscrewing the panel on which both the dimmer switch and cruise control switch are mounted. This panel can be removed by removing the two screws along its bottom edge, (one on either side of the steering column). There is an electrical plug in either switch, which can be removed by squeezing the square locking tab in on each plug, and pulling them out of their respective switches gently. Adjust the steering column to its lowest setting to allow the switch panel to swing down and away from the dash. Remove the dimmer switch assembly and trim fascia from the switch panel by removing the three self-tapping screws. Gently pry the black switch assembly (out of) away from the dash colored fascia. You will see the small rotating contactors at the outer edge of the switch near the thumb wheel. I used electrical parts cleaner spray to clean mine. Then blow the switch off with compressed air, as the solvent-based compounds in the cleaner spray might dissolve the thumb wheel or other plastic components of the switch assembly if left in contact with it. You can test the switch by reinserting it in its harness plug if you want before reassembling the dash panel. I found it helped to depress the locking tab in and gently wiggle the dimmer switch and cruise switch plugs back in, rather than try to use any significant force, which might bend the small copper pins that have to slide into the plugs. Even though the switch worked fine during my pre-dash assembly test, it did not work after I assembled the dash. Fortunately I left the lights on, and in the process of wiggling the harness plug out, the dash lights came on and the switch now works fine, which suggest to me that the process of inserting the plug, which is rather snug, can distort the switch case. So if you have the same problem with a new switch or newly cleaned switch, leave the light on and see if the dash lights come on while you are removing or installing the plug.
